Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward led transportation lighting, adoption of smart and adaptive lighting, expansion of retrofit projects, focus on energy-efficient infrastructure, integration with smart city systems.

The rising incidence of road accidents is expected to drive the growth of the transportation lighting market going forward. The increase in road accidents is linked to various factors, including growing vehicle populations, drunk driving, poor road infrastructure, and adverse weather conditions. Transportation lighting enhances visibility for drivers by helping them see road signs and obstacles more clearly, particularly at night or during unfavorable weather. For instance, in April 2025, according to Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, around 20,400 people lost their lives in road accidents across the EU in 2023, equating to 46 road fatalities per million inhabitants. Therefore, the growing incidence of road accidents is driving the transportation lighting market.

Leading companies in the transportation lighting market are focusing on developing advanced technologies, such as street lights, to improve road safety and enhance energy efficiency. Street lights are outdoor lighting fixtures installed along roads, highways, and pedestrian pathways to provide illumination for both vehicles and pedestrians in low-light conditions. For example, in September 2023, Raytec, a UK-based manufacturer of LED lighting solutions, launched the SPARTAN Street range. This innovative line of high-performance street lighting is specifically designed for hazardous environments. Notably, it is the first luminaire certified for use in Zone 1/21 environments, with a variant also available for Zone 2/22 applications. It offers exceptional efficacy, a flexible design, and ease of installation, making it a standout in the market.

In April 2024, Arcosa, Inc., a U.S.-based provider of infrastructure-related products, acquired Ameron Pole Products from NOV, Inc. for $180 million. This acquisition aims to strengthen Arcosa's position in the infrastructure sector by expanding its portfolio to include traffic and telecommunication structures, while also entering the concrete and steel pole lighting market. NOV, Inc., a U.S.-based technology company, offers a variety of products that support energy transition initiatives.
