Description

List of Tables

The Middle East and Africa explosion proof lighting market size was valued at US$ 17.91 million in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 28.18 million by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 6.9% from 2025 to 2031.

The Middle East and Africa explosion proof lighting market is segmented into ten major countries-Saudi Arabia, UAE, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Qatar, Kuwait, Kenya, Oman, Bahrain, and Rest of MEA. Saudi Arabia dominated the market in 2024.

The government of Saudi Arabia implements policies and initiatives to attract FDIs and increase the private sector's participation in infrastructure construction projects. It provides financial and administrative support to the domestic manufacturing sector through the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), facilitating the establishment of industrial cities. This emphasis on privatization and infrastructure development stimulates the construction of new commercial and residential buildings in the country. Additionally, the government has implemented initiatives for housing construction, such as completing off-plan housing projects in cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, and Al-Ahsa.

In March 2025, ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC KSA announced a strategic alliance with Cortem Group, a globally renowned manufacturer of explosion- and weather-proof electrical equipment for use in high-risk areas. This partnership is set to strengthen ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC KSA's market position by broadening its portfolio with high-quality solutions that cater to the evolving needs of sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and mining. By leveraging Cortem Group's technical expertise and product excellence, ELSEWEDY ELECTRIC KSA will enhance its ability to provide safer, more reliable, and efficient electrical systems for hazardous locations throughout the kingdom. This collaboration reflects the company's commitment to offering integrated electrical solutions that meet the highest industry standards, positioning it to deepen existing customer relationships while attracting new clients seeking dependable explosion-proof technologies. Ultimately, this strategic alliance aligns with and supports the robust growth trajectory of Saudi Arabia's explosion-proof lighting market, which is driven by ongoing infrastructure investments and increasing emphasis on operational safety in demanding industrial environments.

Middle East and Africa Explosion Proof Lighting Market Trend: Easy availability and energy efficiency are the key benefits of LED lighting. These lighting systems have simpler maintenance requirements than fluorescent and other conventional lighting solutions. The awareness of energy efficiency among end users and stringent regulations imposed by governments to favor certain energy sources propel the demand for energy-efficient products. The lighting ecosystem is rapidly evolving from traditional lighting technology to connected lighting systems, with the surging popularity of handheld lighting. Explosion-proof handheld LED lights are lightweight and portable, weighing less than 2 pounds. These lights come with blunt cut, tamper-proof features, ergonomic grip, and a convenient hanging hook, making them suitable for hazardous locations. Handheld LED lights ensure workers' safety by providing appropriate visibility at the worksite. Industries such as oil & gas, power, energy, chemicals, petrochemicals, and mining face challenges installing suitable lighting systems. Highly complex working conditions in these industries make installing and operating a proper lighting system difficult, which fuels the demand for handheld explosion-proof LED lighting systems. Portable explosion-proof handheld lights are better alternatives when the fixed on-site lighting system is insufficient to meet workers' needs.
