New York City, NY, 18 December, 2019/ 24 Market Reports: The global light towers market is estimated to reach USD 6.4 billion by 2024 establishing a growth at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period of 2019 and 2024. The increasing investment for light towers operation in end-use industries such as construction, mining, oil & gas, and events & sports are the factors that are driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
By market type, the light towers market is segmented into sales and rental. Driven by the demand for light tower rentals in North America and Asia Pacific region the rental segment accounted for the highest share in the market during the forecast period. The need further drives the rental market for a short time/temporary use as it requires lower capital investment.
The metal halide and LED type of light towers are the segmentation for the light towers market based on light type.

However, due to the increased energy efficiency and operational characteristics of LEDs as compared to the metal halide lights the LED segment is estimated to witness faster growth in the coming days.
Diesel, solar/hybrid, and direct power are the segmentation for the light towers market by fuel type. As the light towers are operated increasingly in remote off-grid regions where access to grid power is non-existent, the diesel segment is estimated to hold the largest share in the market. Also, compared to other fuel sources, diesel is widely available and also is cost-effective which also plays a major role in driving the growth of the market during the forecast period.
North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America are the segmentation for the light towers market based on geography. North America held the majority of the market share in the year 2018 and the trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. Strong investment in infrastructure development and oil & gas exploration activities in countries such as the U.S and Canada is driving the growth in the North American market during the forecast period.
