Strategies Unlimited forecasts connected outdoor lighting market to reach nearly 10% penetration by 2022

July 7, 2015

Mountain View, CA — Strategies Unlimited has released its new market research report, Connected Outdoor Lighting: Market Analysis and Forecast 2015. By leveraging its experience in the lighting market, Strategies Unlimited provides detailed analysis of the wired and wireless lighting technologies being used in the outdoor application, along with a comparison of LED and traditional lighting sources. This report foresees 40% revenue growth for the total connected outdoor lighting market from 2014 to 2022. The wireless portion will grow to 55% during the forecast period.

As the penetration of LED luminaires increases in the lighting installed base, end-users are looking to optimize the return on their solid-state investments by coupling their lighting systems with lighting controls. With the ability to do more than control the light operation of their lighting systems, many customers are making operational changes by using monitored lighting data and keeping track of their lighting assets and the functionality of their lighting equipment. These investments in sophisticated connected lighting systems are not always being driven by the foresight of end-users. Regulatory influences are affecting the decisions of many private and public facilities and entities. Mandates such as Title 24 (in California), are pushing connected lighting to the forefront. Such regulations require the installation of lighting controls for new construction, retrofits, and major renovations. The figure shows the forecasted growth of connected outdoor lighting. With current penetration at less than 1%, Strategies Unlimited anticipates this market to reach close to 10% penetration by 2021/2022. This aggressive growth will be driven by the demand to mitigate energy consumption of the growing population, meet federal and/or city/state level regulations regarding environmental impact, and reduce operational and maintenance costs. The connected outdoor lighting market is expected to grow from $169 million in 2014 to nearly $2.5 billion in 2022. “As demand for energy increases, the private and public sector will look to create an intelligent infrastructure to mitigate current energy stresses and comply with growing energy efficiency standards. Traditional lighting companies will need to invest and grow their connected lighting portfolio to compete with other non-lighting companies who know and excel in smart and connected lighting controls,” says Strategies Unlimited’s luminaire and lighting controls analyst, Shonika Vijay.
