The report analyzes the solar street lighting market’s drivers, restraints/challenges, and the effect they have on the demands during the projection period. In addition, the report explores emerging opportunities in the solar street lighting market. 

Solar street lighting Market: Overview

Solar street lighting is expected to see a bright demand outlook over the forecast period as demand for better and sustainable outdoor lighting increases across the world. Solar lighting works by absorbing the energy from the sun during the daytime and storing it to use in the nighttime when needed. This is a sustainable lighting option and will see an increase in popularity as the demand for electricity increases.

Increasing focus on sustainability, rising population, increasing consumption of electricity, and dimming popularity of conventional lighting are some other factors that are expected to boost the solar street lighting market potential through 2028.

High installation costs are anticipated to have a restraining effect on the global solar street lighting market growth and will slow down the industry over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic led to a downfall in the adoption of solar street lighting as the world was focused on battling the pandemic and hence the solar street lighting market witnessed a slow growth trend in 2020. Lockdown restrictions across the world hampered the production of solar street lighting and also distribution which had a negative impact on the solar street lighting market.

Hampered installations under the lockdown mandates that dictated strict prohibition on outdoor activity also led to a slow down of the solar street lighting marketplace.

The negative trend of the solar street lighting market is expected to diminish as the pandemic subsides and the adoption of solar street lighting picks up across the world. Increasing focus on sustainability and rising investments from the government to adopt solar street lighting are expected to prominently govern market potential in the post-pandemic era.  

Solar street lighting Market: Growth Drivers

Increasing Focus on Sustainability

The world has seen a substantial rise in focus on sustainability as the environment deteriorates and one of the major contributors to this is the energy generation sector this, in turn, has propelled the demand for renewable energy sources. The rising focus on creating more sustainable power solutions and decreasing dependency on conventional power generation is expected to majorly propel the adoption of solar street lighting over the forecast period. Increasing focus on managing the growing demand for energy will also shape the solar street lighting market growth through 2028.

Solar street lighting Market: Restraints

High Installation Costs to Hinder Solar street lighting Market Growth

Solar street lighting solutions are costly to fix and install and this factor is a major hampering factor for the global solar street lighting marketplace. Solar solutions are still relatively expensive due to the high costs of panels and the supporting structure that they require and this is what creates a major obstacle for installation. This is expected to hamper the solar street lighting market growth in low-income economies and hence slow down the global market pace through 2028.
