This Commercial Airport Lighting market report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The commercial airport lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.93 billion in 2023 to $0.99 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for air travel, efforts to modernize existing airports, an increased need for airport lighting systems, rising disposable incomes, and a growing emphasis on enhancing airport safety.

The commercial airport lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth anticipated in the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing demand for customized lighting solutions, a rising global population, expansion projects at airports, higher tourism and travel demand, and greater globalization and connectivity. Major trends expected include advancements in LED lighting technology, the adoption of smart and intelligent lighting systems, progress in wireless communication technologies, improvements in lighting control systems, the development of smart cities, innovations in lighting design and engineering, and further advancements in smart lighting systems.

The growing demand for air travel is anticipated to drive the expansion of the commercial airport lighting market. Air travel involves transporting passengers or cargo by aircraft, such as airplanes or helicopters, and is influenced by factors like increased global connectivity, economic growth, and more affordable flights. Commercial airport lighting plays a crucial role in ensuring the safe and efficient navigation of aircraft, takeoffs, and landings, especially under low visibility conditions. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, reported a significant increase in air travel within the EU, with the number of passengers reaching 820 million in 2022, an increase of 119.3% from the previous year. Consequently, the growing demand for air travel is propelling the commercial airport lighting market.

Leading companies in the commercial airport lighting sector are focusing on developing advanced technological solutions, such as sensor-based lighting systems, to improve operational efficiency and safety. Sensor-based lighting systems automatically adjust based on motion, occupancy, or ambient light levels, enhancing energy efficiency and convenience. For instance, in May 2022, ADB Safegate BVBA, a Belgium-based airport lighting firm, introduced its AXON EQ LED inset lights as part of the Airfield 4 initiative. These smart LED fixtures are equipped with sensors and communication technology that improve situational awareness and enable predictive maintenance, thus enhancing airport operations. The AXON EQ lights feature sensors that collect real-time data on fixture status and maintenance needs, and use integrated LINC 360 remotes for two-way communication, supporting predictive maintenance and efficient operations, particularly in low-visibility conditions. This technology boosts safety and reduces power consumption at airports.

In January 2024, TKH, a Dutch multinational company specializing in advanced connectivity solutions, acquired JCAII for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen TKH Group's airport solutions by combining JCAII's advanced guidance software and traffic management systems with TKH's smart airfield ground lighting (AGL) technology. JCAII, based in Canada, specializes in visual guidance solutions for airports.

Commercial airport lighting encompasses specialized lighting systems used at airports to ensure the safe and efficient operation of aircraft and the safety of passengers and staff. These systems include runway and taxiway lights, approach lights, and obstruction lights. They are essential for guiding pilots during takeoff, landing, and taxiing, especially under low visibility conditions, and for enhancing overall airport safety and security.

The main types of commercial airport lighting are runway lighting systems, taxiway lighting systems, and apron lighting systems. Runway lighting systems consist of lights installed along runways to assist aircraft during takeoff, landing, and taxiing, particularly in low visibility. Technologies used include light-emitting diode (LED) lights and non-LED lights, with different configurations such as inset airfield lights, elevated airfield lights, and precision approach path indicators (PAPI). These systems are employed in various applications, including landside, airside, and terminal areas.
