World incidence of connected lighting on LED lighting sales, 2023

The worldwide market for LED lighting fixtures and lamps worth around 85 billion US$ for the year 2023. About 14% of this value is estimated to be represented by "Connected Lighting". The value of connected lighting products almost doubled over the last five years, posting an average annual growth of +17%.

Professional indoor lighting is currently the segment where connected lighting solutions show the highest penetration, followed by outdoor lighting. The incidence is by far below in residential indoor lighting and lamps. Geographically, the incidence of connected lighting on total LED lighting market is quite similar in Europe and North America, while the same ratio is lower in Asia-Pacific.

The evolution of the connected lighting is closely linked to energy-saving policies. The demand for these products will evolve significantly in the coming years, partly due to the supports provided by governments to achieve environmental targets.
