Outdoor LED Lighting Market Report 2025

The outdoor LED lighting market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $30.52 billion in 2024 to $35.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency and environmental concerns, government initiatives and regulations, urbanization and infrastructure development, cost reduction, consumer preferences and awareness.

The outdoor LED lighting market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart lighting integration, sustainable development goals, rising urbanization and smart city projects, increased emphasis on safety and security, renewable energy integration. Major trends in the forecast period include integration with smart technologies, energy efficiency and sustainability, increased adoption of solar-powered led lighting, advanced controls and sensors, customization and personalization.

An increase in construction and infrastructure projects is anticipated to boost the outdoor LED lighting market. Infrastructure encompasses the systems and facilities that underpin a country’s economic development, including the construction of roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewage, electrical grids, and telecommunications. Construction sites are often among the most hazardous work environments, and LED lighting serves as a safety measure that can mitigate the risk of accidents and dangers in these areas. LED lighting enhances visibility, ensuring the safety of workers. For example, in September 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a US government agency, reported that construction spending in July 2024 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.16 trillion, which is 6.7 percent (±1.8 percent) higher than the July 2023 estimate of $2.02 trillion. During this period, total construction spending reached $1.23 trillion, representing an 8.8 percent (±1.2 percent) increase compared to $1.13 trillion in the same timeframe in 2023. Consequently, the rise in construction and infrastructure projects is driving the growth of the outdoor LED lighting market.

The rising number of smart city initiatives is projected to drive the growth of the outdoor LED lighting market in the future. A smart city leverages digital technology and data-driven solutions to improve performance, enhance well-being, and reduce costs and resource consumption. In smart cities, outdoor LED lighting boosts energy efficiency and safety through intelligent controls, adaptive lighting systems, and real-time monitoring, thus supporting sustainable urban development. For example, in 2023, the IMD Smart City Index Report, published by a Switzerland-based business school, noted an increase in the number of smart cities from 118 in 2021 to 141 in 2023. As a result, the growing number of smart city projects is fueling the expansion of the outdoor LED lighting market.

Product innovation is a significant trend in the outdoor LED lighting market. Key players in the industry are moving towards implementing wireless lighting control solutions for outdoor LED applications. For example, in March 2022, Evluma, a US-based manufacturer of solid-state illumination (LED) products, launched RoadMax, a new highway lighting fixture. Its unique optical design offers a distinctive combination of roadway performance and glare reduction. Additional features include light trespass shields, field-adjustable wattage selection (FAO), and various photocontrol socket options. Evluma's patented Photocontrol Failsafe technology, which addresses photocontrol failures in street and area lights, can also be added to the RoadMax as a customizable feature.

Companies in the outdoor LED lighting sector are increasingly focusing on introducing energy-saving outdoor lights to secure a competitive advantage in the market. Energy-saving outdoor lights are fixtures designed with advanced technologies, such as LED (light-emitting diode) technology, which use significantly less energy than conventional lighting sources. For instance, in October 2022, Govee, a Hungary-based lighting company, introduced permanent outdoor lights. These fixtures aim to provide an experience comparable to higher-priced options, featuring 75 customizable lighting modes integrated with RGBIC technology. They are built to be durable, energy-efficient, and capable of withstanding temperature variations from -4°F to 140°F due to the anti-UV material used in their construction. As an FTC-certified product with a lifespan of 50,000 hours, the Permanent Outdoor Lights incur an annual energy cost of only $8 if used for three hours daily.

In May 2022, Signify N.V., a Dutch lighting company, acquired Fluence Inc. The undisclosed acquisition further bolsters Signify's global agriculture lighting development platform and extends its footprint within the lucrative North American horticulture lighting sector. Fluence Inc., based in the US, specializes in manufacturing energy-efficient LED lighting systems tailored for commercial crop cultivation and research applications.
