(MENAFN- market Press Release) February 9, 2022 11:29 am - Moscow delivered lighting equipment worth $92.2 million.
Moscow exported lighting equipment to 91 countries over 11 months of 2021. Kazakhstan, Belarus, and the Philippines are among the leading importers.
“Moscow is the main Russian exporter of lighting equipment. As the result of January-November 2021, its share in all-Russian exports amounted to 35.7%. During this period, Moscow delivered goods worth $92.2 million, 71.8% more than in the same period in 2020, when exports amounted to $53.67 million. Compared to 2019, when goods worth $49.5 million were delivered, exports increased by 86.3%. We managed to increase the volume of exports both due to the opening of new foreign markets last year (for the first time, deliveries were made to the Philippines, Jordan, Uganda, Morocco, Cameroon, and Bolivia) and due to the intensification of work in traditional export directions,” said Vladimir Efimov, Deputy Mayor of the City of Moscow for Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations.
He noted that the geography of exports is also expanding. In 2019, Moscow exported lighting equipment to 83 countries, in 2021 - to 91.

Germany ($4.52 million) and Korea ($4.22 million) are also top five. These countries account for 64.9% of Moscow lighting equipment exports.
The Philippines is a new market for metropolitan enterprises, but the country is already in the top three in supplies among all markets after Kazakhstan and Belarus. Moscow enterprises mainly supply solar panels there, which are in demand since solar energy is widespread in the Philippines.
“Compared to 11 months of 2020, Moscow increased the supply of almost all categories of lighting equipment. Thus, the export of semiconductors increased by 118% and amounted to $29.11 million, supplies of chandeliers and pendant lamps increased by 71.6% - up to $22.91 million. In addition, Moscow companies supplied light bulbs worth $16.16 million abroad, an increase was 33.5%,” added Alexander Prokhorov, Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy Government of Moscow.
