Mexico. According to a 2014 study by the consulting firm Lux Research, the value of the global professional lighting market amounted to $3.8 trillion, with an average annual growth of 7% sustained since 2007.
This growth has not only been in terms of market opening, but has also benefited from technological advances in LED lighting, which reached 25.7 billion dollars in 2015, and is expected to multiply twelve times its volume in the next decade, having an annual growth of 25%.
