A lighting control system encompasses a range of intelligent lighting devices designed to regulate light quantity, characteristics, and quality in a designated area. These systems are employed to optimize energy efficiency, comply with building codes, and adhere to energy conservation programs.
Two primary installation types for lighting control systems are new installation and retrofit. A new installation pertains to a system integrated into a structure whose construction commenced after the effective date of any applicable regulations. The offerings within lighting control systems include hardware, software, and services, utilizing communication protocols such as wired and wireless technologies. These systems cater to various end uses, including both indoor and outdoor applications.
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 sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
The lighting control system market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides lighting control system market statistics, including lighting control system industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a lighting control system market share, detailed lighting control system market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the lighting control system industry. This lighting control system market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The lighting control system market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $42.64 billion in 2024 to $49.71 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to energy efficiency awareness, regulatory standards, sustainability initiatives, cost savings, and workplace productivity.
The lighting control system market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $97.47 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to IoT integration, demand for smart homes, work-from-home culture, urban infrastructure upgrades, and retrofitting demand. Major trends in the forecast period include gesture control systems, personalized lighting experiences, li-fi integration, focus on user experience, and wireless connectivity.
The forecast of 18.3% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.2% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through increased implementation costs for energy management networks, as tariffs on Zigbee/Wi-Fi controllers and dimming modules from China and India could slow smart building deployments. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated growth in the lighting control system market is expected to be driven by the increasing development of both commercial and non-commercial buildings. Commercial buildings, referring to non-residential structures excluding agricultural, industrial, or institutional buildings, and non-commercial buildings, which are structures not used for commercial or residential purposes, are adopting lighting control systems such as dimmers and color-changing bulbs for enhanced networked controls within offices and various building types. For instance, in September 2022, According to the University of Michigan's Center for Sustainable Systems, the commercial building floor space in the U.S. is projected to expand by 35% from 2021, reaching an estimated 124.6 billion square feet by 2050. Additionally, the average size of U.S. homes increased by 45% in 2021, indicating a substantial trend toward larger living spaces. Hence, the growth in both commercial and non-commercial buildings is a key driver for the lighting control system market.
The increasing number of smart city projects. Smart cities, utilizing digital technology and data-driven solutions to enhance efficiency and well-being while reducing costs and resource consumption, prioritize energy efficiency, data-driven control, and sustainable urban development. This emphasis on intelligent and eco-friendly lighting solutions is expected to boost the adoption of lighting control systems. According to the IMD Smart City Index Report, the number of smart cities globally increased from 118 cities in 2021 to 141 cities in 2023. This surge in smart city initiatives is contributing to the growth of the lighting control system market.
Major companies in the lighting control system market are advancing technologies like cloud services to enhance operational efficiency, enable remote monitoring and management, facilitate real-time data analysis, and improve energy savings through smart automation and IoT device integration. Cloud services provide on-demand computing resources and applications over the internet, allowing users to access and manage data and software without relying on local infrastructure. For example, in April 2024, Siemens AG, a Germany-based automation company, launched Electrification X. This solution is designed to enhance productivity, reliability, asset utilization, energy efficiency, and sustainability. By leveraging cloud services, Electrification X optimizes, manages, and automates electrification systems, ultimately reducing operational costs and carbon dioxide emissions.
Major players in the lighting control system market are emphasizing the development and introduction of infrared lighting control systems as part of their strategy to gain a competitive edge. Infrared lighting control systems utilize infrared signals for wireless management and control of lighting fixtures. For instance, Casambi, a Finland-based lighting company, launched three long-range wireless lighting control products in April 2023. These products include Casambi Xpress, a wireless switch for controlling lighting scenes, Casambi Xpress IR, an infrared remote control for managing lighting scenes, and Casambi Xpress PIR, a wireless motion sensor triggering lighting scenes. These products aim to provide a simple and flexible means of controlling lighting in various indoor environments, including homes, offices, and commercial spaces.
