Dublin, Feb. 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Lighting Control System - Market Share Analysis, Industry Trends & Statistics, Growth Forecasts (2026-2031)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global lighting control system market is projected to expand from USD 45.43 billion in 2025 to USD 51.15 billion in 2026, with forecasts reaching USD 92.53 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 12.6% from 2026 to 2031.
This growth is primarily driven by energy efficiency mandates, smart city initiatives, and the integration of IoT in building automation. Regulatory requirements for features like automatic shut-off, and daylight-responsive dimming are driving demand, highlighting the importance of energy conservation. LED price reductions further support economic viability, even for smaller facilities.
Market Trends and Insights
Energy-Efficient Lighting Systems Demand
Global facilities are increasingly embracing LEDs with intelligent controls, achieving up to 80% energy savings over traditional systems. Documented case studies show up to 87% savings within a year, promoting rapid returns on investment. Daylight harvesting and scheduling enable continuous optimization, making capital approvals more straightforward as utility prices rise.
Strict Building-Energy Codes
Compliance with codes like the International Energy Conservation Code 2021 ensures mandatory installation of advanced controls. California's Title 24 mandates demand-responsive dimming in large projects, effectively turning optional upgrades into necessities, thereby providing a defensive growth strategy for the market even amid economic fluctuations.
Installation and Integration Costs
High initial costs for comprehensive control retrofits can deter smaller enterprises. Skilled installation requirements and associated labor costs are barriers, particularly in less mature markets. Nonetheless, demonstrated financial savings in high-profile projects emphasize the long-term benefits, although initial financing remains challenging.
