Global Smart Lighting Market to Reach US$ 23.6 Billion by 2024

April 29, 2019

The introduction of eco-friendly lighting systems by manufacturers and the initiatives taken by governments for developing smart cities helped the global smart lighting market size reach US$7.9 billion in 2018, according to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled Smart Lighting Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2019-2024

Smart lighting technology enables users to change light intensity depending on parameters such as occupancy or daylight availability. It is rapidly replacing traditional lighting solutions as it is economical, sustainable, and draws lesser power. It is also accessible through smartphone applications, which makes it easy to control. Moreover, this lighting system has enabled real-time illumination monitoring, intelligent sensing and improvement in connected lighting technology. The evolution of big data and the Internet of Things (IoT) has further improved the integration of smart lighting with other automated systems used in smart homes.

In recent years, smart lighting has gained popularity across the globe as it helps in minimizing energy wastage. In line with this, various governments around the world are taking initiatives for developing smart cities, which have significantly contributed to the demand for these systems. For instance, under the Chicago Smart Lighting Program, the US Government has replaced over 270,000 outdated high-pressure sodium (HPS) light fixtures with new energy-efficient LED lights to reduce energy costs, improve the environment and ensure safety. 

Aside from offering various environmental and cost-saving advantages, these systems are also creating a positive impact on society. For example, the installation of smart streetlights in Los Angeles has helped in reducing crimes related to burglary, vandalism and vehicle theft. In addition to this, Osram has introduced SymphoCity as an intelligent connected lighting management system that can manage and monitor city-wide lighting infrastructure from one central platform to establish a more connected and secure environment. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach US$23.6 billion by 2024, expanding at a CAGR of 20% during 2019-2024.
