Lighting Market in Kenya

Kenya is a typical developing country, which is with sufficient sunshine and severe power shortage. 75% of Kenya ’s population is engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry, and the electrification process in rural areas is very slow. Many local farmers in Kenya still live in areas where electricity is not universal.

Only 19% of the population in Kenya use electric lighting equipment, which means that there are 34 million people still relying on dangerous lighting resources. About 90% of the rural population in Africa has no electricity supply, and 75% of Kenyan households still use kerosene lamps. Many small streets in the city also have no street lights, LED penetration rate is low, therefore, the prospect is pretty optimistic.

Kenya is committed to developing sustainable lighting solutions. Driven by the global low-carbon trend, the demand for LED lighting has increased year by year.

The Kenyan government promises that by 2025, the nation ’s electricity will cover 70% of the population.

"Lighting Africa" and "Green Africa" are the two Major theme projects currently being promoted in Africa. The goal is also to provide energy-saving and energy-saving LED lighting to African people. Therefore, LED lighting products with high energy-saving effects are naturally welcomed by the African market.

In Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, most of the street light poles are usually simple in style, and the lamps use a single plate type.

With the rapid development of modern cities in Kenya, LED lights is becoming more and more popular among the lighting of supermarkets, stations, shopping malls and other places, as well as tourist attractions and holiday villa. Due to the proximity to the equator, the sun is more abundant, and solar LED are also products with high local demand.
