Linear lighting is a type of lighting design and fixture arrangement where light sources are arranged linearly, typically in straight lines or along elongated structures. Linear lighting systems often consist of linear LED strips, fluorescent tubes, or other linear light sources that are installed in ceilings, walls, or architectural features to provide even illumination along a specific area or surface.

The increasing activity in the construction industry is expected to fuel the growth of the linear lighting market. The construction industry involves a variety of tasks related to the design, planning, and creation of buildings, infrastructure, and other physical structures. The expansion of the construction sector can be attributed to factors like urbanization, population growth, infrastructure development, and economic growth. Adequate lighting, especially on construction sites, is crucial for safety and security, particularly at night or in poorly lit areas. Linear lighting solutions, including temporary LED light towers and string lights, are widely used to provide consistent lighting across construction zones. For example, in June 2023, the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency reported a 6.5% growth in the construction industry between the first quarters of 2022 and 2023, with housing and infrastructure sectors seeing increases of 11.1% and 3.7%, respectively. Hence, the growth of the construction industry is driving the demand for linear lighting.
