Smart Street Lighting
LEDs, Communications Equipment, and Network Management Software
for Public Outdoor Lighting: Market Analysis and Forecasts
A number of small startup companies have begun offering
hardware and software products for smart street lighting systems.
In this challenging emerging market, many of these startups have
already failed, others have been acquired by larger lighting
companies, and a few are flourishing on their own. Some of the
larger control and lighting companies are developing their own
products for this market, which will put pressure on smaller
companies that have not yet secured a reliable revenue stream.
At the same time, new lamp options have recently become
available for street lights, most notably LEDs. The market for
these lamps is also in a period of transition. Dramatically falling
costs and rising efficiencies of LED lamps are driving up sales.
Costs have fallen as much as 50% over the last 18 months and are
expected to continue falling for years to come. LED lamps allow for better dimming control than standard street lights, and
their electronics allow for easy integration of control nodes. Rising sales of LED lamps will therefore drive up the adoption of
smart street lighting systems. Pike Research expects the market for smart street lighting to grow steadily over the remainder
of this decade. Shipments of smart street lighting systems, which will be under 200 worldwide for 2012, will reach more than
1,100 in 2020. Shipments of communications nodes, meanwhile, will rise from 550,000 this year to 4.8 million in 2020.
This Pike Research report analyzes the global market opportunity for lamp upgrades and networked lighting controls across
five categories of public outdoor lighting: highways, roads, parking lots, city parks, and sports stadiums. The report provides
a comprehensive assessment of the demand drivers, obstacles, policy factors, and technology issues associated with the
growing market for street lighting controls. Key industry players are profiled in depth and worldwide revenue and capacity
forecasts, segmented by lamp type and region, extend through 2020.
