Road transport, involving the movement of goods and passengers on roads, is on the rise. The surge in road transportation is expected to fuel the demand for street and roadway lighting, enhancing road safety for drivers, riders, and pedestrians by improving visibility. In March 2021, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported a 2.9% increase in travel on highways and streets compared to March 2021, with a notable change of +7.9 billion vehicle miles. The total projected vehicle miles driven during March 2022 reached 277.4 billion, showcasing a 2.80% increase from the previous year. This growth in road transportation is a significant driver propelling the street and roadway lighting market.

The growth of urbanization is anticipated to contribute to the expansion of the street and roadway lighting market. Urbanization, characterized by the increasing growth and expansion of cities along with population migration from rural to urban areas, creates a higher demand for well-lit streets and roadways. The need for adequate lighting becomes crucial for ensuring safety, security, and efficient transportation as more individuals migrate to urban centers. According to the World Economic Forum, over 4.3 billion people, equivalent to 55% of the global population, resided in urban settings in April 2022. This figure is expected to surge to 80% by 2050, underscoring the ongoing trend of increasing urbanization. As urban areas expand, the development of new roads and streets becomes inevitable, further driving the demand for innovative street and roadway lighting solutions.
