The kitchen lighting market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In the previous years, the kitchen lighting market has witnessed substantial growth. It is expected to rise from a valuation of $13.5 billion in 2024 to $14.78 billion in 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
This robust growth observed in the past can be accounted to the prevalence of incandescent lighting, specific aesthetic choices, worries about efficient energy use, updates in regulations, and incorporation of smart lighting.
The kitchen lighting market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for kitchen lighting is projected to experience considerable expansion in the coming years. It is forecasted to reach $19.97 billion by 2029, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7.8%.
The anticipated increase during the forecast period can be credited to factors such as the incorporation of smart homes, health and wellness factors, customization and personalization, sustainable and eco-friendly illumination, and the integration of wireless power and charging. The forecast period is also expected to witness major trends such as advancements in fixture designs, evolution of led technology, technological progression, human-centric lighting, and integration of sophisticated controls.
The escalation in the requirement for infrastructure projects in the housing sector is propelling the expansion of the kitchen lighting market. Infrastructure projects are large-scale building or development endeavours targeted at enhancing or constructing crucial physical and organisational infrastructures and facilities. They often include the set up or improvement of foundational systems and structures that enable the operation of lighting systems in residential or commercial kitchens. For example, according to the UK-based Office for National Statistics, in November 2023, there was a £18,161 million ($19.96 million) increase in new construction activities in 2022, with projects in the private sector expanding by 16.8% and public sector projects escalating by 13.1%. In addition, per the US Census Bureau, there was a growth rate of 10.2 percent in the value of construction activities, rising from $1,626.4 billion in 2021 to $1,792.9 billion in 2022. As a result, this increased demand for infrastructure projects within the housing sector is anticipated to boost the progression of the kitchen lighting market. The kitchen lighting market is gaining momentum with the rise of smart homes. A smart home signifies a dwelling fitted with a variety of internet-connected gadgets, appliances, and systems that provide remote monitoring, control, and automation capabilities. Kitchen lighting in smart homes serves to boost efficiency, conserve energy and personalise the ambiance. Kitchen lights, when incorporated with smart lighting systems, can be remotely controlled and automated, offering users the ability to modify the brightness, colour temperature, and on/off settings. For example, Netguru S.A., a software development firm based in Poland, announced in October 2023 that 63.43 million US households were actively utilising smart home devices in 2023, reflecting a 10.2% surge from 2022. Therefore, the rise in smart homes is projected to boost the expansion of the kitchen lighting market.

Leading players in the kitchen lighting sector, such as Philips Hue, are exploring technologies like under-cabinet kitchen lighting to secure their standing in the market. Under-cabinet lighting, which involves installing fixtures under cabinets to brighten countertops, not only improves task visibility but also supplements to the overall ambiance. It spotlights backsplash patterns and details on cabinets as well. As an example, Philips Hue, which is based in Netherlands, rolled out a smart under-cabinet lighting system crafted specifically for kitchen applications in September 2024. Integrated into Nobilia kitchen cabinets, this system is devoid of visible wires or plugs, lending a neat appearance. The solution boasts a broad range of color choices, giving users the flexibility to customize their kitchen atmosphere with millions of color options. The lights are designed to connect with the Philips Hue Bridge, facilitating integration with existing Hue setups and compatibility with other Hue products.
