Smart Streetlight Wildlife Sensor Market Report 2026

The smart streetlight wildlife sensor market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.21 billion in 2025 to $1.39 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of smart city lighting projects, increasing road wildlife collision incidents, early adoption of sensor-based monitoring, growth in environmental monitoring initiatives, availability of low-light sensing technologies.

The smart streetlight wildlife sensor market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.34 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart city infrastructure, rising focus on wildlife conservation technologies, expansion of intelligent transportation safety systems, growing adoption of ai-based monitoring platforms, increasing integration with urban analytics systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of ai-enabled wildlife detection systems, rising integration with smart streetlight networks, expansion of multi-sensor monitoring platforms, growing use in road safety applications, enhanced focus on biodiversity protection.

The growing emphasis on biodiversity and wildlife protection is expected to drive the expansion of the smart streetlight wildlife sensor market. Efforts to preserve and sustainably manage species, habitats, and ecosystems are becoming increasingly important as climate change accelerates habitat loss, disrupts ecosystems, and threatens the survival of numerous species essential for ecological balance and human well-being. Smart streetlight wildlife sensors help address these challenges by detecting animal movement, minimizing light pollution, and reducing human-wildlife conflicts. For example, in October 2024, the UK government, under the international Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), pledged to conserve 30% of its land and sea for nature by 2030, reflecting a rising commitment to biodiversity conservation.

The expansion of smart city initiatives is expected to drive the growth of the smart streetlight wildlife sensor market in the coming years. Smart city initiatives are urban development programs that integrate digital technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), advanced sensors, and data analytics into city infrastructure to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and residents’ quality of life. As smart cities increasingly deploy connected infrastructure and sensor networks to monitor environmental conditions and urban mobility, the integration of wildlife sensors into smart streetlight systems helps improve public safety, reduce light pollution, and support ecological monitoring, thereby generating demand for wildlife-aware street lighting solutions. For example, in 2025, IMD Business School, a Switzerland-based business school, reported that the number of smart cities worldwide increased from 141 in 2023 to 142 in 2024, and further to 146 in 2025. Consequently, the expansion of smart city initiatives is fueling the growth of the smart streetlight wildlife sensor market.

Companies in the smart streetlight wildlife sensor market are adopting energy-efficient LED and solar-powered streetlights to reduce environmental impact and improve safety in ecologically sensitive areas. These sustainable systems combine low-power LEDs with solar energy, offering cost-effective and eco-friendly lighting solutions. In April 2025, Signify N.V., a Netherlands-based lighting company, launched a community lighting project in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, particularly around the Katarniaghat Wildlife Division. The initiative installed over 5,000 LED and solar streetlights across more than 300 forest villages, enhancing safety in areas prone to wildlife encounters. The project also supported extended livelihood opportunities, enabled children to access evening education, and promoted wildlife conservation awareness through a collaborative effort with FINISH Society and the local forest department.
