Global Connected (Smart) Street Lighting Market Research Report 2025(Status and Outlook)

Report Overview

Connected (smart) street lighting refers to a network of intelligent outdoor lighting systems that integrate advanced technologies such as IoT sensors, wireless communication, and data analytics to optimize energy efficiency, maintenance, and urban infrastructure management. These systems enable remote monitoring, adaptive brightness control based on real-time conditions (e.g., traffic, weather), and automated fault detection, reducing operational costs and energy consumption. By leveraging connectivity protocols like LoRaWAN, cellular networks, or PLC (Power Line Communication), smart streetlights serve as a foundational element for smart city initiatives, often doubling as nodes for additional urban services such as environmental monitoring, security surveillance, or EV charging stations. The integration of renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, further enhances sustainability, positioning smart street lighting as a critical infrastructure upgrade for modern urban planning.

The global market for connected street lighting is experiencing robust growth, driven by urbanization, government sustainability mandates, and the push for energy-efficient solutions. Cities worldwide are adopting smart lighting to cut carbon emissions and operational expenses, with LED adoption serving as a precursor to full IoT-enabled systems. Key markets include North America and Europe, where regulatory support and smart city investments are strong, while Asia-Pacific is emerging as a high-growth region due to rapid urban expansion in countries like China and India.

Technological advancements, such as AI-driven predictive maintenance and 5G-enabled connectivity, are expanding the functionality of smart streetlights beyond illumination, transforming them into multi-purpose urban infrastructure hubs. However, challenges like high upfront costs, cybersecurity risks, and interoperability issues between legacy systems and new technologies persist. Competitive dynamics feature a mix of established lighting giants (e.g., Signify, Schréder) and tech-focused firms specializing in IoT platforms, with partnerships between municipalities and private players accelerating deployment.

Long-term opportunities lie in integrating smart lighting with broader smart city ecosystems, including traffic management and air quality monitoring, while innovations in energy storage and edge computing could further enhance scalability. As governments prioritize green initiatives and digital transformation, the connected street lighting market is poised for sustained expansion, with projections estimating a CAGR of 20–25% over the next decade. Success will hinge on cost-effective financing models, standardized protocols, and public-private collaboration to overcome adoption barriers.
