The emergency lighting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the past few years, there has been a significant expansion in the emergency lighting market size. The market is projected to escalate from $6.74 billion in 2024 to $7.23 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%.
The growth during the historic period can be credited to factors such as safety regulations, the rise of urbanization and infrastructure development, the occurrence of power outages, the enforcement of fire safety codes, and measures for resilience and disaster readiness.
The emergency lighting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market for emergency lighting is anticipated to witness substantial expansion in the coming years, reaching a volume of $9.85 billion in 2029 with an 8.0% initiatives, resilience and disaster preparation, as well as adaptive lighting.
Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). Factors contributing to the predicted growth over this period include the adoption of green infrastructure principles, integration with Internet of Things (IoT), smart building Foreseen trends within this term include advances in technology, improvements in battery technology, the embrace of LED technology, centralized monitoring and controlling, and a heightened focus on sustainability and energy efficiency.
The anticipated expansion of the construction industry is predicted to foster the growth of the emergency lighting market. Because construction sites usually possess obstacles like construction materials, electrical panels, portable tools, and other hindrances along evacuation routes that impede speedy evacuation in an emergency, they necessitate emergency lighting to guarantee the safety of construction employees. The Indian Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation, for example, predicts a double-digit growth rate of 10.7% in the construction sector in 2022. Thus, the emergency lighting market is benefitting from the growth in the construction industry.

Leading businesses functioning in the emergency lighting market are concentrating on launching innovative solutions to establish a strategic advantage. The latest solutions in emergency lighting aim to boost the performance and productivity of these systems. For instance, a Japanese firm that manufactures fire detection and emergency lighting products, Hochiki, unveiled FIREscape Nepto, their advanced emergency lighting systems, in March 2023. Much like the preceding model, FIREscape Nepto meets the BS 5266 standards and is grounded on a controllable emergency lighting control panel with controllable, autonomous LED lights and exit signs that function on an extremely low operating voltage. The newly-fangled system is also backward compatible with the existing panels and devices from the previous FIREscape series, thus ensuring the continuity of projects. Unlike systems powered by a centralized battery or main power, FIREscape Nepto can carry out continuous self-testing and monitoring, making installation and maintenance faster, easier, and more cost-effective.
