Lighting Sales Stay Bright

Following a period of restrictive grorvth in the early 1980s, the lighting frxture industry has bounced back, buoyed by revitalized construction activ ity.

Manufacturers' sales rose 14.2% in 1984 and gained approximately another 10.2% in 1985, up to $7 billion, according to Business Trend Analysts, Inc.

Residential lighting fixture sales have benefited from the turnaround in construction. Falling interest rates should continue to promote more residential building throughout this year. Tempering this boost to residential lighting sales, however, is a deluge of imported residential lighting products. Imports rose a staggering460% from 1983 to 1984.

Despite import pressure, residential lighting sales are expected to remain strong as U.S. manufacturers introduce more stylish and energy-efficient products. Other sectors of the lighting market are also expected to perform favorably as lighting technology is continually reflected in innovative new lighting products. Overall, sales growth is projected at8.3% annually for the next decade.
