According to Philip Smallwood, Research Director of LED & Lighting at Strategies Unlimited “While the market in 2014 for these kinds of lamps was relatively small, at under $25 million, it is expected that we will see a substantial increase in the market size as more manufacturers increase competition for these lamps, and decrease the average selling prices (ASPs) of these product”. In 2014, companies like Philips, LIFX and TCP all sold color changing lamps on the market all year, and CREE and GE released simple dimming lamps in the second half of the year as well. In 2015, we have already seen OSRAM Sylvania release its Lightify range of lamp products as well as multiple start-up companies launching connected lamps as well.

The distribution of lamp installation is forecasted to take place in three major applications, retail, hospitality and residential, with residential applications leading the way due to their huge installed base. The chart below shows the market forecast for the connected lamps market broken out by end application.

According to Smallwood though, “Once certain professional applications like retail and hospitality embrace and learn to influence light to showcase their sites or products, we expect penetration to increase quickly there. This, in conjunction with higher professional ASPs, should lead to a substantial market share as well.
