The solar lighting system market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The solar lighting system market has grown rapidly in recent years. It will increase from $8.16 billion in 2024 to $9.4 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 15.2%.
Factors contributing to this growth include growing environmental awareness, rising energy costs, greater availability of solar products, urbanization, and the increase in natural disasters.
The solar lighting system market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The solar lighting system market is projected to grow rapidly, reaching $16.36 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 14.9%.
Growth drivers include rising demand for mobile solar lighting, government incentives, adoption of renewable energy, demand for energy-efficient solutions, and expanding off-grid applications. Key trends include technological advancements, IoT integration, smart technologies, hybrid solar systems, and LED adoption.
The surge of renewable energy sources utilization is anticipated to drive the expansion of the solar lighting system market in the future. Renewable energy sources, including solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, are resources that can be consistently used without fear of exhaustion because they replenish naturally. The surge in renewable energy utilization can be attributed to sustainability objectives, public awareness, grid stability, advancements in storage technologies, and regulatory endorsement. Solar lighting systems aid in the adoption of renewable energy sources by converting solar energy directly into electricity that can be used for lighting, thereby curbing reliance on non-renewable energy sources. An example of this is seen in March 2024; as per the Office for National Statistics, a government agency based in the UK, the low-carbon and renewable energy economy (LCREE) in the UK saw an increase of 28.0% between 2021 and 2022, from £54.2 ($68.63) billion to £69.4 ($87.88) billion. Hence, the rise in renewable energy sources adoption is fuelling the expansion of the solar lighting system market.
