Smart Lighting is a technology primarily designed for energy efficiency. It is usually operated in such a way that the consumer will be able to control the lighting installed using an application on his/her smartphone.  Most of these apps provide options which are called light recipes which are a host of different palettes that are suitable for a particular environment, say watching a movie, cooking, or reading.

A general smart lighting network would generally use a mesh network. This means each smart bulb is wirelessly connected to its nearest neighbor. This entire network can be controlled by a hub that operates by plugging into a router. Recent developments have also shown smart bulbs can include complex technical components like motion sensors.

Smart Lighting Market Growth and Trends

The Global Smart Lighting Market is primarily driven by the increasing need for energy efficiency, and therefore favorable government policies that are aimed at promoting their use. This aside, the rapid rate of urbanization has directly contributed to the increase in demand as the increase in construction activities implies a rise in the number of residential buildings, and commercial establishments favoring the growth of the market. India, one of the fastest developing countries in the world, has seen its urban population rise from ~31% in 2010, to ~34% in 2017, according to the world bank. Another driver for this market is the shift in preferences of consumers from traditional incandescent lamps to other energy-efficient alternatives like LED bulbs, fluorescent bulbs, etc.

The market, however, is hindered by factors such as a lack of awareness among people, and a high initial setup cost.

Smart Lighting Market Segment Analysis

By Product Type, the Global Smart Lighting Market is segmented into wired and Wireless lighting systems. Although the wireless lights segment is expected to show a healthy growth rate, the wired lighting segment will be dominating the market as these products are more reliable and give the end-user more control. Nevertheless, the future seems to be of wireless lighting systems as technological progress is expected to pave the way for their advancement.  

By Lighting Source, the Global Smart Lighting Market is segmented into LED Lamps, Fluorescent Lamps, Incandescent Lamps, and others. The LED lighting segment is forecasted to dominate this segment, capturing a high market share. This is primarily because LED lighting systems have emerged as an energy-efficient and cost-effective alternative. This is the reason LED Lighting is endorsed by governments across the world. Philips Lighting, a major competitor, for example, saw a whopping 10% increase in their LED lighting share in total sales, from 55% to 65%.

The demand for Incandescent lamps is decreasing over the years as the benefits of their LED counterpart become more and more apparent to people, the main reason being that an LED lamp can be just as bright as an incandescent lamp while consuming 85% less power.

By Application, the Global Smart Lighting Market is segmented into lights for Indoor Use and Outdoor Use. Indoor smart lights dominate this segment owing to the increased adoption of such connected lighting systems in residential complexes, and commercial buildings. This is coupled with the fact that there is an increasing awareness of the customizations and power-saving capabilities of smart lighting.

Be that as it may, the outdoor lighting segment is forecasted to behave the highest growth, with many countries across the world undertaking projects to revamp their domestic street-lighting systems. Street lights that can switch on/off based on the time of the day, level of traffic, and so on are the need of the hour.

Smart Lighting Market Geographical Share

By geography, the global Smart Lighting market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

The Global Smart Lighting Market is presently concentrated in the European region, and it is expected to maintain the lead in the forecast period. The primary reason for this is the high deployment of smart lighting systems in residential areas, commercial office spaces, and government policies promoting their usage. According to Clasp, an NGO which works to improve the energy and environmental performance of everyday appliances, the EU was leading the world in phasing out halogen lamps and promoting cost-effective alternatives.

The region expected to show the fastest growth, however, is the APAC region, due to focused government efforts to encourage the usage of energy-efficient lights. India, a growing market for Smart Lighting Systems, has implemented the Ujala program, wherein the state aims at replacing over 720 million traditional bulbs with LED ones. This apart, the Chinese LED market was growing faster than the rest of the world at 15.3% in 2015, according to the Department of Energy in the United States.
