The solar lighting system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.16 billion in 2024 to $9.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of environmental issues, increasing energy costs, increasing availability of solar products, rise in urbanization, and rise in natural disasters.

The solar lighting system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.36 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for mobile solar lighting solutions, rising government incentives, increasing adoption of renewable energy, increasing demand for energy-efficient solutions, and expanding off-grid applications. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, integration with internet of things, integration with smart technologies, hybrid solar lighting systems, and LED technology.

The growth of the solar lighting system market is set to be driven by the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources. These sources, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, are naturally replenishable and can be continuously utilized without depletion. This shift is motivated by sustainability goals, rising public awareness, grid stability improvements, advancements in storage technologies, and supportive regulations. Solar lighting systems play a crucial role in this transition by directly converting solar energy into electricity for lighting, thereby reducing dependence on non-renewable energy sources. For example, between 2021 and 2022, the UK's low-carbon and renewable energy economy expanded by 28%, reaching £69.4 billion ($87.88 billion) in March 2024, according to the Office for National Statistics. As a result, the market for solar lighting systems is benefiting significantly from the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources.

Innovative solutions focused on minimizing environmental impact and enhancing sustainability are a priority for leading companies in the solar lighting system market. Eco-friendly lighting solutions, designed to minimize environmental harm throughout their lifecycle, are a key area of development. For instance, AGC Lighting introduced the ST57 solar LED street light in May 2023. This product integrates advanced solar technology with high-efficiency LED bulbs to provide sustainable illumination for urban and suburban areas. The ST57 is engineered for durability and energy efficiency, featuring a robust, weather-resistant design that ensures longevity in challenging outdoor conditions. Its intelligent lighting controls optimize energy usage, making it a cost-effective choice for municipalities and businesses seeking to reduce their carbon footprint.
