States, new dishwashers use 40% less energy, and washing
machines use 70% less energy, than they did in the 1990s. New
refrigerators use only one-quarter of the energy that they used
in the 1970s, offering 20% more capacity and a 50% reduction
in purchase price. 39 In the OECD countries as a group, demand
growth for such appliances has slowed significantly over the
past decade, while the energy efficiency of these appliances
increased. 40
prices are driving demand. 46 In response to the government’s LED
lamp distribution programme, the number of LEDs produced in
India soared from 12 million in 2014 to about 360 million in 2015. 47
However, energy efficiency improvements have not yet been able
to cancel out the effect of growing demand for certain appliance
categories, such as televisions and network devices. The average
energy intensity of televisions i more than doubled between
2000 and 2012 in Australia, Canada, Denmark, France and the
Netherlands. 41 This growth reflects a rapid increase in screen
size, which has been mitigated to some extent in recent years by
more-efficient screen technologies. 42
In the lighting market, the share of incandescent bulbs continues
to decrease, driven largely by phase-out regulations. In several
OECD countries, where such regulations are in place, the market
share of incandescent bulbs has dropped to a range of 10–20%. 43
Across all developed countries, light-emitting diodes (LEDs)
command 3–15% of the market. 44 Even so, the market share of
efficient lighting solutions at the global level is still very limited,
but it is growing rapidly as prices drop. 45
Among developing countries, China and India lead in LED
manufacturing and usage. While China is already well-established
as the world’s largest manufacturer, in India, governmental
support, accelerated private sector engagement and declining
Alongside advances in lighting technology, increased use of
“smart” and cloud-based lighting controls is improving the
technical efficiency of lighting systems. Such controls provide the
opportunity for aggregating data from multiple lighting systems
and enabling remote monitoring and control over their usage,
resulting in energy savings. 48
