Street lighting in public spaces that reacts to the movements of cars, cyclists, and pedestrians is referred to as "smart" street lighting. Adaptive street lighting is another term for it; it turns on when motion is detected and off when none is. Smart street lighting systems have the ability to identify maintenance issues and lighting failures in real time, ensuring improved service quality and prompt error correction. Additionally, this removes the need for regular maintenance-related inspections.
Smart Street Lighting Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Drivers: Market expansion is being driven by consumers' growing preference for energy-efficient LED lighting. The market for smart street lights is driven by consumers' growing preference for energy-efficient LED lighting. The target market is using light-emitting diodes (LEDs) more frequently, which also contributes to the development of a large-scale street lighting system. Soon, significant market growth drivers will be business setups supported by widespread usage of networked street light equipment as part of smart city initiatives. Furthermore, smart lighting technology is being used by energy companies and government agencies, which will help save costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the anticipated period.
Furthermore, the deployment of smart street lighting systems is one of the main elements of the smart city initiative. Energy-efficient LED lights and smart lighting solutions that can be remotely controlled and monitored are to replace the current street lighting systems as part of this project. By doing this, the lighting infrastructure will use less energy overall and operate more efficiently.
Challenges: Connected street lights have gained popularity despite a number of drawbacks, such as difficult setup, challenging operations, and expensive initial costs. The development of the linked street light market is hampered in certain developing and underdeveloped countries by a lack of supporting infrastructure. Additionally, as linked lighting systems with Wi-Fi, Li-Fi, and sensor features proliferate, so do the security and privacy concerns associated with them. Cyberattacks may result in serious damage, such as the interruption or removal of vital services like water and electricity.
Impact of COVID-19 on Global Smart Street Lighting Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant effect on the market for (smart) street lights. The demand for analog semiconductors has decreased as a result of the global slowdown in new project development. Workers have stayed at home, disrupting global supply chains and making it challenging for factories to adopt new techniques globally. The fact that COVID-19 has stopped production and the supply chain means that its effects on this market are only temporary. As things improve, so will production, supply chains, and demand for networked (smart) street lights. This COVID-19 lockdown would encourage businesses to think about more advanced connected (Smart) street lights in order to increase efficiency.
