Street and roadway lighting systems encompass illumination setups along highways designed to enhance safety by improving visibility of roadside hazards and reducing the impact of glare from other light sources. These lighting systems contribute to enhancing the safety of both vehicles and pedestrians utilizing the roads or streets.
The primary types of street and roadway lighting include conventional lighting and smart lighting. Conventional lighting involves the use of incandescent lamps, which produce light through the rapid heating of a metal filament wire until it emits light. The major light sources employed in these systems include LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes), fluorescent lamps, and high-intensity discharge lamps. These lighting systems typically offer hardware, software, and associated services catering to various end-user industries such as highways, streets, and roadways, aiming to optimize visibility and safety for travelers and pedestrians alike.
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.
Tariffs have increased the cost of imported LED fixtures, poles, mounting structures, sensors, and electronic components used in street and roadway lighting systems, leading to higher project expenses and slower deployment timelines across highways, streets, and roadways. Regions heavily dependent on imported lighting hardware, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North America, face the greatest pricing pressures. Despite these challenges, tariffs are encouraging domestic manufacturing, promoting localized supply chains, and supporting innovation in durable and energy-efficient roadway lighting technologies.

The street and roadway lighting market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $11.01 billion in 2025 to $11.71 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to installation of conventional street lighting systems, growing roadway expansion, early adoption of led-based lighting, rising focus on pedestrian safety, government-led roadway electrification initiatives.
The street and roadway lighting market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.93 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing smart city development, increasing energy efficiency regulations, expansion of intelligent lighting networks, rising adoption of adaptive street lighting, growing integration of renewable-powered lighting systems. Major trends in the forecast period include increased deployment of IoT-enabled lighting infrastructure, expansion of sustainable and energy-efficient lighting solutions, growth of smart mobility-integrated lighting systems, adoption of cloud-based lighting control platforms, advancement of AI-assisted street lighting optimization.
Increased road transportation is expected to propel the growth of the street and roadway lighting market. Road transport refers to the movement of goods and passengers from one location to another via road networks. As road transportation increases, the demand for street and roadway lighting also rises, as enhanced visibility is essential for improving safety for drivers, riders, and pedestrians. For example, in June 2025, the Department for Transport (DfT), a UK-based government department overseeing transportation networks and policy, reported that total vehicle mileage on Great Britain's roads reached 35.9 billion miles in the 12-month period ending March 2025, marking a 0.9% year-over-year increase compared to the period ending March 2024. Therefore, the continued rise in road transportation is driving the expansion of the street and roadway lighting market.
Leading companies in the street and roadway lighting market are introducing solar street lights to strengthen their market position. Solar street lights are outdoor lighting systems powered by solar panels that capture and store sunlight during the day to illuminate roads and public spaces at night. For instance, in May 2023, AGC Inc., a Japan-based glass manufacturing company, launched the ST57 Solar LED Street Light, designed as an environmentally friendly lighting solution for parks, parking lots, and other public spaces. The ST57 features separate solar panel and fixture components and is available in six power outputs-10W, 20W, 30W, 40W, 50W, and 60W. It also includes smart controls such as a built-in microwave sensor, timer, and passive infrared (PIR) sensor.
In July 2024, LEOTEK Corporation, a US-based provider of LED lighting solutions for outdoor and smart city applications, acquired Dialight plc's traffic business for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, LEOTEK aims to strengthen its market position, expand its presence across the Americas, and enhance its portfolio in traffic signaling and smart city lighting solutions. Dialight plc's traffic business is a UK-based provider of LED roadway lighting, traffic signals, and smart traffic management technologies.
