Outdoor lighting refers to the illumination installed in outdoor areas, such as streets, highways, and alleys, to brighten dark spaces and enhance the aesthetic appeal of outdoor environments.
The primary types of outdoor lighting include LED lights, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps, fluorescent lights, and plasma lamps. LED lights utilize a microchip to produce illumination when an electrical current passes through. Components involved in outdoor lighting systems include fixtures and controls, catering to applications such as street lighting, tunnel lights, highways, parking lots, parks, stadiums, building exteriors, and more. These products are distributed through both offline and online channels.

The growing adoption of energy-efficient lighting systems is propelling the outdoor lighting market. Energy-efficient lighting involves the use of environmentally friendly solutions like LEDs and CFL bulbs, as well as alternative energy sources such as solar power, since LEDs consume less energy and are well-suited for outdoor lighting that solar panels can support. For example, in June 2023, Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), an India-based government agency, announced that it had distributed around 368 million LED bulbs and tube lights, resulting in a reduction of approximately 38 million tons of CO2 emissions annually and saving consumers INR 192 billion ($2.28 billion) in electricity costs. Furthermore, in 2022, the US government implemented the Inflation Reduction Acts of 2022, which introduced tax deductions for homeowners, builders, and businesses that choose energy-efficient lighting options. Therefore, the increasing adoption of energy-efficient lighting systems is driving the outdoor lighting market forward.
The outdoor lighting market is expected to experience growth with the increasing demand for solar lighting. Solar lighting harnesses solar energy for illumination, offering energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solutions. The versatility of solar lighting is reshaping outdoor illumination preferences. According to a report by the International Energy Agency in July 2023, solar photovoltaic (PV) generation witnessed a significant increase, reaching almost 1,300 terawatt-hours in 2022. Projections indicate that solar PV's installed power capacity is poised to surpass coal by 2027, becoming the world's largest power capacity source. The rising demand for solar lighting is, therefore, a key driver for the growth of the outdoor lighting market.
