The increasing efforts to establish smart cities are anticipated to boost the growth of the human-centric lighting market. A smart city leverages advanced technology and data-driven solutions to improve the quality of life for its residents, enhance the efficiency of urban operations, and foster sustainable development. The growth of smart cities is driven by a combination of technological innovation, urban development needs, policy support, private sector involvement, and community engagement. Human-centric lighting plays a vital role in smart city development by creating urban environments that enhance residents' health, productivity, and well-being through adaptive, biologically optimized lighting systems. For example, in June 2024, the Press Information Bureau, an Indian government agency, reported significant advancements in India's smart cities mission, with 8,013 projects approved at a cost of ₹1,64,158 crore ($19.66 billion) across 100 cities. Of these, 7,157 projects have been completed, totaling ₹1,43,958 crore ($12.24 billion). Consequently, the push towards establishing smart cities will drive the human-centric lighting market.

Leading companies in the human-centric lighting market are focusing on launching innovative products like smart lighting solutions to enhance their competitive advantage. A smart lighting solution is an advanced system that leverages internet connectivity, sensors, and automation to optimize energy usage, increase convenience, and provide greater control over lighting environments. For example, in May 2024, Signify N.V., a lighting corporation based in the Netherlands, introduced the NatureConnect lighting system. NatureConnect is designed to replicate natural sunlight, promoting well-being by enhancing sleep, mood, and focus. It delivers customizable, energy-efficient options for professional spaces, hospitality, and healthcare settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have affected the human-centric lighting market by increasing costs for imported LEDs, sensors, drivers, and electronic control components used in advanced lighting systems. These impacts are more pronounced in commercial and healthcare installations, particularly in regions dependent on asia pacific manufacturing hubs. Higher equipment costs have slowed some retrofit projects and increased overall system prices. However, tariffs have also encouraged local sourcing, regional manufacturing, and innovation in cost optimized lighting controls, supporting long term market resilience.

Human-centric lighting (HCL) involves lighting solutions designed to improve well-being, productivity, and comfort by addressing human biological and emotional needs. Its goal is to replicate natural daylight patterns to support circadian rhythms, regulate hormones such as melatonin and cortisol, and enhance mood, alertness, and cognitive function.

Key components of human-centric lighting include sensors, drivers, microprocessors, microcontrollers, switches, dimmers, transmitters, and receivers. New installations refer to integrating HCL systems into new buildings or facilities, involving LED bulbs, switches, sensors, and gateways among other elements in newly constructed spaces. These installations cater to various sectors such as wholesale, retail, enterprises, data centers, residential areas, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, industrial settings, and hospitality venues.North America was the largest region in the human centric lighting market in 2025.
