The anticipated increase in air travel demand is set to drive growth in the airport smart lighting market. Air travel, which involves transporting passengers and goods by aircraft across various locations, is becoming more affordable and accessible due to technological advancements, competitive airline pricing, and the proliferation of low-cost carriers. Airport smart lighting systems improve visibility, safety, and energy efficiency by dynamically adjusting to passenger movement, weather conditions, and time of day, thereby enhancing the overall airport experience and operational effectiveness. For example, in November 2023, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union based in Luxembourg, reported that air travel within the EU surged significantly, with passenger numbers in 2022 reaching 820 million, a 119.3% increase compared to the previous year. This increase in air travel is propelling the growth of the airport smart lighting market.

Leading players in the airport smart lighting market are focusing on developing advanced solutions such as sensor-based lighting to maintain competitive advantage. Sensor-based lighting systems use sensors to detect environmental changes or occupancy, adjusting the lighting accordingly to enhance passenger experiences within airport environments. In May 2022, ADB Safegate BVBA, a Belgium-based airport lighting company, introduced its AXON EQ LED lights. These lights feature integrated sensors that collect crucial data, helping airport operators identify maintenance requirements and optimize their operations. The AXON EQ LED, a part of ADB SAFEGATE's Airfield 4 initiative, aims to improve airport operations with superior routing and guidance technologies, increasing safety and reducing energy consumption.

In October 2021, ADB Safegate BVBA acquired Protec Automation GmbH, a Germany-based specialist in control technology for airport lighting systems, for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is expected to bolster ADB Safegate’s capabilities in airfield lighting control systems, power technologies, and services, offering comprehensive solutions to clients across Europe and beyond.
