Light Towers Market Report 2026

The light towers market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $5.46 billion in 2025 to $5.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth in construction and infrastructure projects, rise in mining and oil and gas operations, increasing demand for night time work safety, adoption of diesel powered light towers, rise in disaster and emergency relief activities.

The light towers market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.73 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising shift toward hybrid and solar powered units, increasing adoption of automated lifting technologies, growth in smart fleet monitoring solutions, rising demand for led lighting advancements, increasing need for mobile lighting across remote sites. Major trends in the forecast period include rising adoption of solar and hybrid powered light towers, growth in automation and remote control features for light towers, advancement in smart iot enabled monitoring systems, increasing use of digital platforms for fleet and asset management, rising demand for energy efficient led based light towers.

Increasing infrastructure activities are significantly contributing to the growth of the light tower market. Light towers are commonly used on mining sites, accident sites, construction sites, rescue operations, and other locations. They serve as essential equipment on infrastructure construction sites - such as railways, highways or roadways, sewers, power lines, and other projects - during night operations in remote areas where lighting is insufficient and strong illumination is required. Light towers enhance worker safety and improve productivity on construction sites. For example, in April 2023, according to the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, a UK-based government department, through Project Gigabit, the UK government is investing £5 billion ($5.39 billion) to expand gigabit broadband access to at least 85% of premises by 2025 and over 99% by 2030. Additionally, a £1 billion ($1.07 billion) agreement with mobile network operators aims to increase 4G coverage to 95% of the UK landmass by 2025, with potential 5G adoption projected to boost productivity by £159 billion by 2035. Therefore, increasing infrastructure activities are driving the growth of the light tower market.

Companies in the light tower market are increasingly focusing on developing advanced hybrid light towers to reduce carbon emissions while delivering reliable lighting solutions. Hybrid light towers are portable systems that combine diesel generators with renewable energy sources such as solar power or batteries, which helps decrease fuel consumption and emissions. These systems provide efficient, eco-friendly lighting while lowering operational costs. For instance, in December 2023, Atlas Copco, a Sweden-based industrial company, launched the HiLight BI+ 4 light tower. This model features advanced SMD LED lighting and lithium-ion batteries, offering superior performance and efficiency. The HiLight BI+ 4 includes four versatile operating modes: mains power, lithium-ion batteries, a diesel engine, or a hybrid setup. It can operate silently and emission-free for up to 20 hours on a single charge, which takes just four hours to recharge. With an industry-leading fuel consumption rate of only 0.29 liters per hour in hybrid mode, it reduces CO2 emissions by as much as seven tonnes per unit per year, significantly minimizing environmental impact and operational costs.

In December 2023, The Will-Burt Company, a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of mobile telescoping masts and lighting tower systems, acquired Clark Masts Systems Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition allows The Will-Burt Company to expand its product portfolio and enhance its technological capabilities in mobile elevation solutions, strengthening its presence in both commercial and defense markets. Clark Masts Systems Ltd., based in the UK, specializes in lighting masts for floodlighting applications.

The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods.

The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD unless otherwise specified).

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 are impacting the light tower market by increasing import costs for LED fixtures, metal frames, hydraulic components, generators, and electronic control systems, leading to higher production expenses and extended delivery cycles. Regions such as Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe face notable disruptions due to reliance on globally sourced lighting modules and mechanical components. Segments such as hybrid light towers, mobile light towers, and LED powered units are most affected. However, tariffs are also driving localized manufacturing, diversification of component suppliers, and innovation in cost optimized and energy efficient light tower technologies.

Light towers are portable equipment comprising high-intensity electric lamps and masts, typically affixed to a trailer with a generator setup at the rear to power the bulbs in conditions of insufficient artificial or natural light. In the realm of light towers, power is commonly generated through diesel, solar energy, batteries, or hybrid methods to illuminate the bulbs. These towers find applications in construction, infrastructure development, the oil and gas industry, mining, military and defense operations, as well as in emergency and disaster relief scenarios.

The primary categories of light towers include stationary and mobile variants. Stationary light towers are affixed or mounted structures on a specific base, oriented either horizontally or vertically, equipped with high electric lamps of varying mast sizes, making them suitable for fixed-position use. These light towers employ different lighting technologies, including metal halide, LED, and electricity. They can feature either manual lighting technology or hydraulic lighting technology. Light towers come in various fuel types, including solar/hybrid, diesel, and direct power. End users of light towers encompass industries such as oil and gas, mining, construction, events and sports, among others.The revenues for a specified geography are consumption values that are revenues generated by organizations in the specified geography within the market, irrespective of where they are produced.
