Smart Uplight Outdoor Market Report 2026

The smart uplight outdoor market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2.39 billion in 2025 to $2.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing outdoor lighting installations, rising demand for energy-efficient solutions, growing adoption of smart home devices, expansion of urban infrastructure, and increasing need for aesthetic landscape lighting.

The smart uplight outdoor market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.41 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing smart city initiatives, rising integration with IoT platforms, increasing focus on sustainable lighting, expanding use of sensor-based technologies, and growing consumer spending on outdoor décor. Major trends in the forecast period include technology advancements in smart lighting, innovations in wireless control systems, developments in adaptive lighting features, research and development in energy optimization, and increasing trend of automation in outdoor spaces.

The growing adoption of energy-efficient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting is expected to drive the expansion of the smart uplight outdoor market in the coming years. Energy-efficient LED lighting refers to systems that use LED technology to deliver higher brightness with significantly lower energy consumption and longer operational life compared to conventional lighting solutions. This trend is increasing due to greater awareness of energy conservation and the need to reduce electricity costs. Smart outdoor uplights support this adoption by combining LED technology with smart controls, such as sensors, timers, and wireless connectivity, enabling optimized energy usage, remote monitoring, and adaptive lighting based on environmental conditions. For instance, in January 2025, Signify Inc., a Netherlands-based lighting solutions company, reported that LED-based sales accounted for 93% of total sales in fiscal year 2024, up from 85% in fiscal year 2023. Therefore, the rising adoption of energy-efficient LED lighting is driving growth in the smart uplight outdoor market.

Major companies in the smart uplight outdoor market are focusing on developing advanced features, such as smart control and high playability, to offer customizable lighting experiences, enhance user convenience, and enable seamless integration with connected home ecosystems. Smart control and high playability refer to outdoor lighting systems’ capabilities to be remotely managed, personalized with dynamic effects, and synchronized with music or content through intelligent software and AI-driven features. For instance, in August 2024, Govee Technology, a China-based smart home lighting company, launched Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights 2, the second generation of its permanent outdoor lighting solution for decorative and functional use. The product delivers enhanced brightness with 55% more lumens, RGBWIC lighting for both everyday white illumination and festive color effects, and built-in Matter capability for integration with major smart home platforms, including Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. It also includes AI-generated lighting effects, DreamView content-reactive lighting, and music synchronization, allowing users to create immersive and interactive outdoor environments with minimal effort.
