The Global Lightning Rod Market size is projected to grow from an estimated USD 1.11 Billion in 2018 to USD X.XX Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2018 to 2028. This growth can be attributed to the increasing awareness about lightning protection systems among end-users and the growing demand for lightning protection systems in commercial and industrial buildings.
A lightning rod (or lightning conductor) is a metal object that is attached to the top of a building or structure, which is designed to attract and then safely conduct lightning away from the building. Lightning rods are often used in conjunction with a grounding system, which allows electricity to flow harmlessly into the ground instead of through the building. It helps in conducting lighting strikes and safely dissipates them into the ground, hence protecting buildings from fire or explosion. Lightning rods are also referred to as ‘lightning conductors’ or ‘air terminals’ because they intercept overhead clouds during thunderstorms and allow the lightning bolt to travel down the rod instead of into the building.
On the basis of Type, the global lightning rod market is segmented into air-termination lightning protection system, meshed conductors lightning protection system, catenary wire lightning conductor, streamer emission lightning conductor, and others.
An air-termination lightning protection system is also known as conventional lightning protection. It mainly comprises air terminals, down conductors, and earth electrodes. Conventional Lightning Protection Systems are installed for the purpose of providing a safe path for the electrical energy from cloud to the ground by means of low resistance paths which will ensure that all or most of this energy can be dissipated safely into the ground.
The second most common type is a meshed conductor lightning protection system, which consists of a series of wires that are attached to the roof of the building. When a lightning strike occurs, electricity travels down these wires and then spreads out across all other objects in range (including people) before being safely conducted into the ground. This type of system offers improved performance in areas with high electromagnetic interference (EMI) levels.
A catenary wire lightning conductor is a type of lightning rod that consists of a single, continuous wire. The wire hangs between two poles or towers and is designed to attract and then safely conduct lightning away from the building or structure. Catenary wires are often used in rural areas where there are no other nearby objects to attach a traditional lightning rod to. The exposed metal wire acts as a path for lightning strikes to travel down into the ground, instead of discharging into nearby structures.
The catenary wire is attached at one end to an anchor point on the structure and suspended with tension from poles or towers that are placed at equal distances apart along its length. If there are no other nearby objects to attach a traditional lightning rod to, then a catenary wire can be used as an alternative. Catenary wires are also known as ‘hanging wires’ or ‘drooping wires’.
A streamer emission lightning conductor is a type of lightning rod that uses a pointed metal wire or rod to create an ionized path for the lightning strike to follow. When a storm approaches, the streamer emission conductor begins to emit small sparks (or ‘streamers’) from its tip. These streamers will eventually connect with the leaders from the thundercloud, allowing the lightning to flow down the conductor and safely into the ground. Streamer emission lightning conductors are often used in areas where there is a high risk of lightning strikes, such as near airports or tall buildings.
On the basis of Application, the global lightning rod market is segmented into towers, space shuttle launch pads, factories, and buildings.
On the basis of Region, the global lightning rod market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. The US is the largest market for lightning rods in North America, owing to the presence of a large number of companies in the country. The US has a great potential for lightning protection systems and is expected to witness a high growth rate during the forecast period. The Canadian market for lightning rods is projected to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period. The Latin American market for lightning rods is projected to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period. Brazil is expected to be one of the fastest-growing markets for lightning protection systems in the region. The Mexican market for lightning rods is projected to grow at a moderate pace during the forecast period.
The lightning rod market has been growing due to the increasing number of lightning strikes in European countries, especially Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. The market for lightning rods is also projected to grow due to the increasing number of tall buildings and skyscrapers in Europe. The air-termination lightning protection system held a dominant share of the European lightning rod market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its low installation cost as well as easy maintenance.
The Asia Pacific lightning rod market is expected to grow at a significant pace, owing to the growing industrialization and urbanization. Rapid economic development in countries such as India, Japan, South Korea, and China has increased the demand for high-rise buildings with strong infrastructure. To ensure safety from natural calamities such as lightning strikes and thunderstorms, many buildings are now installing lightning protection systems, which is subsequently driving the demand for lightning rods.
The growth of the global lightning rod market can be attributed to the increasing awareness about lightning protection systems among end-users and the growing demand for lightning protection systems in commercial and industrial buildings. In addition, factors such as the rising number of thunderstorms and hurricanes, and the increasing installation of renewable energy sources are also contributing to the growth of the global lightning rod market.
