Smart Streetlight Wildlife Sensor Market Report 2025

The smart streetlight wildlife sensor market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.06 billion in 2024 to $1.21 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth observed during the historical period was driven by greater adoption of smart city initiatives, increasing demand for energy-efficient streetlighting solutions, expanded deployment of IoT-enabled environmental and wildlife monitoring systems, heightened concerns over road safety and wildlife protection, and growing government funding for sustainable urban infrastructure.

The smart streetlight wildlife sensor market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.06 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The projected growth during the forecast period is expected to be driven by increasing awareness of biodiversity conservation in urban planning, greater adoption of adaptive lighting to minimize light pollution, wider deployment of wireless communication technologies within lighting networks, and a stronger focus on predictive maintenance for smart streetlight systems. Key trends anticipated include advancements in multi-sensor fusion for integrated lighting and wildlife monitoring, development of solar-powered smart streetlight systems, innovations in edge computing for real-time wildlife detection, progress in adaptive lighting algorithms for energy efficiency, and the creation of interoperable IoT platforms for smart city ecosystems.

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.

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.

In June 2022, Lucy Group Ltd., a UK-based company specializing in electrical infrastructure and lighting equipment, acquired Flashnet S.A., a Romania-based manufacturer of intelligent environmental sensors, including wildlife streetlight sensors. The acquisition aims to integrate Flashnet’s advanced intelligent infrastructure software and IoT solutions into Lucy Group’s portfolio, strengthening its global presence in smart city and utility offerings while enhancing efficiency, connectivity, and innovation in urban and utility management systems.

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.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the utilities sector, particularly in power generation, grid infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Higher duties on imported equipment such as turbines, transformers, solar panels, and battery storage systems have increased capital and operational costs for utility providers, forcing them to reconsider project timelines or pass on expenses to consumers through higher energy rates. The water and waste management segments are also affected, with tariffs driving up the cost of essential machinery, piping, and treatment technologies. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs have disrupted global supply chains for critical raw materials like rare earth metals used in clean energy technologies, further complicating the transition to sustainable energy sources. The sector must now prioritize domestic sourcing, digitalization, and efficiency-driven innovations to manage escalating costs while ensuring energy security and regulatory compliance.

A smart streetlight wildlife sensor is an advanced system integrated into street lighting that continuously monitors the surrounding environment for animal presence or movement using various sensors. It enables real-time detection even in low-light conditions and is designed to capture and analyze detailed wildlife activity data, providing accurate monitoring across different environmental settings and visibility levels.

The primary sensor types in smart streetlight wildlife sensors include infrared, ultrasonic, camera-based, acoustic, and other specialized sensors. Infrared sensors detect and measure the heat emitted by objects, allowing the system to sense presence, movement, or temperature without direct contact. These sensors can utilize wired or wireless connectivity and are applied in urban areas, highways, parks, residential neighborhoods, and more. Key end users include municipalities, smart city initiatives, transportation authorities, environmental agencies, and similar organizations.
