The outdoor led lighting market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $72.29 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for smart city lighting systems, expansion of adaptive street and area lighting, increasing focus on energy savings and emissions reduction, growth in iot-enabled outdoor lighting networks, development of advanced lighting analytics and management platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of smart connected outdoor lighting systems, expansion of energy-efficient sustainable lighting solutions, advancement of intelligent lighting control platforms, development of automated outdoor illumination management, integration of sensor-based adaptive lighting technologies.

An increase in construction and infrastructure projects is anticipated to boost the outdoor LED lighting market. Infrastructure encompasses the systems and facilities that underpin a country’s economic development, including the construction of roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, water supply, sewage, electrical grids, and telecommunications. Construction sites are often among the most hazardous work environments, and LED lighting serves as a safety measure that can mitigate the risk of accidents and dangers in these areas. LED lighting enhances visibility, ensuring the safety of workers. For example, in September 2024, the United States Census Bureau, a US government agency, reported that construction spending in July 2024 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $2.16 trillion, which is 6.7 percent (±1.8 percent) higher than the July 2023 estimate of $2.02 trillion. During this period, total construction spending reached $1.23 trillion, representing an 8.8 percent (±1.2 percent) increase compared to $1.13 trillion in the same timeframe in 2023. Consequently, the rise in construction and infrastructure projects is driving the growth of the outdoor LED lighting market.

Major companies operating in the outdoor LED lighting market are emphasizing product innovations, such as cloud-based control platforms, to improve operational efficiency and enable advanced smart city services. Cloud-based control platforms centralize the oversight of entire lighting networks, supporting remote monitoring, data-driven automation, and integration with broader urban infrastructure. For example, in June 2025, Signify, a Netherlands-based lighting manufacturer, introduced its Interact Emergency Lighting system. This cloud-native platform allows for single-point wireless activation of emergency protocols across a facility, delivers real-time status updates to first responders, and integrates smoothly with other Interact IoT systems for unified facility management. This advancement significantly lowers operational costs and enhances emergency response coordination, although it requires substantial investment in network security and dependable connectivity.

In March 2023, Signify Holding, a Netherlands-based provider of lighting products, connected lighting systems, and data-driven services for both professional and consumer markets, acquired Intelligent Lighting Controls, Inc. (ILC) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Signify aimed to broaden its connected portfolio by incorporating ILC’s leading wired control systems, thereby strengthening its range of energy-efficient LED lighting solutions for North American professional lighting applications. Intelligent Lighting Controls Inc. (ILC) is a US-based company specializing in energy-efficient lighting control solutions, including outdoor lighting components.
