Modest Growth, Mixed Signals: Inside Canada’s Q1 2026 Pulse of the Lighting Market
Canada’s lighting market entered 2026 with modest growth layered over clear caution from every part of the value chain. The Q1 2026 Pulse of Lighting Market Survey, conducted across the Canadian industry, captured the views of distributors, manufacturers, and independent representatives at a moment when project activity, pricing, and AI adoption are all in transition. The survey drew responses from three core groups: electrical and lighting distributors (37.04%), lighting manufacturers (35.19%), and electrical representatives/agents (27.78%). This balance provides a rare, multi-angle view of how business conditions look on the ground—from the counter, from the factory, and from the specifier-facing rep.
