Architectural lighting Market Report 2026

The architectural lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.48 billion in 2025 to $10.19 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in traditional incandescent lighting use, adoption of fluorescent and hid systems, expansion in commercial construction projects, early use of decorative lighting solutions, rise of initial led installations.

The architectural lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $13.48 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising shift toward smart led technologies, increasing adoption of dynamic architectural lighting, expansion of energy-efficient building solutions, development of customizable lighting aesthetics, growing demand for sustainable illumination technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of energy-efficient architectural lighting solutions, integration of IoT-connected smart lighting systems, advancement of automated lighting control technologies, expansion of digital lighting management platforms, development of AI-enhanced illumination systems.

The rise in construction activities is expected to fuel the growth of the architectural lighting market going forward. The construction industry encompasses the planning, design, execution, and management of buildings, infrastructure, and related projects across residential, commercial, and civil engineering sectors. Within the construction sector, architectural lighting enhances aesthetics, functionality, and safety by strategically illuminating structures and spaces, supporting design objectives, and creating visually appealing environments. For instance, in September 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, public construction spending reached an estimated seasonally adjusted annual rate of $515.8 billion in July, reflecting a 0.3% (±1.6%) increase from the revised June figure of $514.3 billion. Therefore, the expansion of the construction industry is driving the architectural lighting market.

Prominent entities within the architectural lighting market are prioritizing the development of state-of-the-art lighting systems integrating cutting-edge technology tailored for designers and homeowners.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have influenced the architectural lighting market by increasing the cost of imported LED chips, electronic drivers, lighting fixtures, and metal housings sourced from global suppliers. Commercial, residential, and public infrastructure projects in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific face cost fluctuations and extended lead times due to tariff-driven supply chain pressures. However, tariffs also support regional fixture manufacturing, local sourcing of lighting components, and innovation in cost-efficient LED technologies, enhancing long-term supply chain resilience for architectural lighting integrators.

Architectural lighting is the illumination designed to enhance and complement the architectural features of a building. It serves the dual purpose of providing functional lighting while also contributing to the aesthetic and visual appeal of the architecture.

The main types of architectural lighting include incandescent lights, fluorescent lights, high-intensity discharge (HID) lights, light-emitting diode (LED) lights, and others. Incandescent light bulbs consist of a glass and metal device that produces light by heating a thin wire filament with an electrical current. Various lighting types, such as ambient, task, and accent lighting, are applied for purposes such as wall wash, cove lighting, backlighting, and others. Architectural lighting is utilized in residential, commercial, and other settings.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the architectural lighting market in 2025.
