  • Europe LED Flashlight Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Type, Product, and Application

    The Europe LED flashlight market is expected to grow from US$ 244. 8 million in 2019 to US$ 326. 7 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3. 8 % from 2020 to 2027. Rising demand for tactical light emitting diode (LED) flashlights due to small size and rugged material drives the growth of the Europe LED flashlight market.New York, Jan. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Europe LED Flashlight Market Forecast to 2027 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis by Type, Product, and Application" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06004165/?utm_source=GNW Growing military spending across the region boosts the adoption of technologically advanced equipment such as tactical LED flashlights.The tactical LED flashlights meet high-quality standards as they are made of rugged materials.Aircraft-grade aluminum is the main raw material used in flashlight manufacturing; it makes these lights waterproof, long-lasting, and shockproof, and allows manufacturers to keep their size small.Tactical flashlights are robustly used across the military and law enforcement sector, jungle hiking, coal mines, and hunting.Owing to the ruggedness of materials, flashlights can be attached to any weapon.Simple flashlights, which have been used in military applications, comprise a multifunctional tool used in various hazardous situations. However, tactical flashlights have a rechargeable battery backup of up to 48 hours and a greater capacity of at least 500 lumen. Due to its small size, these flashlights are used for self-defense by disabling the vision of an attacker at night. The tactical LED flashlights can be attached to any weapon as they are waterproof and made of rugged materials. Therefore, their demand would increase in the coming years. Also, the growing penetration of LED lighting and increasing support by governments are expected to drive the Europe LED flashlight market during the forecast period.The COVID-19 pandemic is adversely affecting countries in Europe, especially the UK and Russia.Europe is one of the key regions for the growth of the LED flashlight market as it comprises many developed countries such as Germany, the UK, France, Italy, Norway, and Sweden, where military spending is relatively higher than other regions coupled with increased investments in LED flashlight manufacturing startups.Also, the rising adoption of advanced technological solutions in various industries makes this region an ideal market for the growth of the LED flashlight market.Businesses in the region are facing severe economic difficulties as they are suspending their operations or substantially reducing their activities.Governments are imposing lockdowns and putting restrictions on movements and manufacturing activities across Europe to contain the novel coronavirus outbreak.
