The global smart lighting market, however, is hampered by LED design challenges, a lack of regulatory standards, and interoperability concerns. Furthermore, smart lights can be speech controlled via platforms such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Microsoft Cortana. Sensor-integrated or sensor-free smart lighting solutions are available. Sensor-integrated lighting can alter light brightness in response to the presence of people and daylight. Because they are configurable, integrated lighting systems without sensors are nevertheless considered intelligent. Smart lighting comes in a variety of forms, including smart bulbs, fixtures, and lighting controllers, and it emits light from a variety of sources, including LED, HID, and others.

Based on offering, the global smart lighting market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. Over the projected period, the hardware category is expected to increase at a much faster rate in terms of sales. Hardware components are in high demand because they are an essential component of smart lighting systems. The growing demand for more energy-efficient lighting solutions to reduce energy usage and energy bills is driving up demand for LED. Furthermore, the segment's revenue is being driven by the conversion of existing traditional lights to smart LED lighting due to the benefits of LED lighting such as lower heat emission, increased energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and eco-friendliness. Luminaries and lighting controllers are included in the Smart Lighting Market segmentation based on hardware type. The luminaries segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period, 2023-2028. This is due to the installation of new track lights and light poles as a result of commercial building space expansion and the development of smart city projects. However, due to increased technical innovation and ever-changing controls in smart lighting systems, lighting controls will be the fastest-growing category over the projection period. As a result, increasing controls enable intelligence in lighting goods, which has a beneficial impact on market growth. Wipro Lighting announced Aqua, a sleek collection of designer office space lighting solutions to brighten up workspaces, in March 2022. Aqua offers a wide range of curved luminaires suited for expressing an architect's design purpose. They are easy to install and feature adjustable height suspension, which adds to the charm of the place. With a flexible design, customizable shape, and no visible hardware, Wipro Lighting's Aqua is a blend of beauty and sophistication for modern environments.
