The architectural lighting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for architectural lighting has experienced significant expansion in the past few years. The sector will see an upswing from $8.95 billion in 2024 to $9.64 billion in 2025, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7%. The growth during the historical period corresponds to factors including urbanization and infrastructure development, evolving design and aesthetics norms, regulatory amendments, cultural and social shifts, improvements in control systems, and the globalization of the market.
The Architectural lighting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the upcoming years, the architectural lighting market is anticipated to witness robust growth, scaling to $13.06 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%.
This predicted expansion during the forecasted timeframe can be ascribed to the introduction of novel applications, the integration of human-oriented lighting, the call for personalization and customization, advancements in urban development, and smart city projects. The forecast period is likely to see major trends such as the incorporation of human-centered lighting designs, embracing intelligent and interconnected lighting systems, emphasis on sustainability, shifting towards dynamic and engaging lighting, and creativity and design-driven transformations.
The architectural lighting market is anticipated to grow due to the rising demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions. These luminaire varieties not only reduce power consumption and carbon dioxide emissions but also ensure maintenance of light quality. They consume less energy than conventional lighting solutions while providing the same amount of light, and have a longer lifespan. The surge in usage of LED lighting solutions has also boosted the demand for energy-efficient lighting. For example, a report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, revealed in September 2022 that LED lighting constituted 48% of worldwide lighting sales in 2021 and is projected to constitute 99% of all sales by 2030. Additionally, the efficiency of LED lighting was 111 lumens per watt in 2021 and is projected to increase to 142 lumens per watt by 2030. Hence, the burgeoning demand for energy-efficient lighting solutions is set to further fuel the architectural lighting market.
