In 2020, the global outdoor solar LED market was valued at USD 4.36 million. The market is expected to grow at a 24.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR), from 2021-2028. One of the main factors driving market growth is the increasing popularity of LEDs outdoor lighting applications, especially in street lights, due to their improved quality and efficiency. Market growth is likely to be aided by the increasing use of solar energy to light homes across the globe. Market growth will also be driven by the implementation of many smart cities development plans, which is likely to increase outdoor solar LED product adoption.
In countries like the U.S., U.K., Germany, China and India, there has been an increase in road infrastructure and smart cities projects. This is due to growing urbanization and increased vehicular traffic. Many investment plans are linked to aging street lighting and renewable solar lighting projects as part of these development programs. McCann Ltd., an U.K.-based civil engineer construction company, was awarded a contract by the Birmingham City Council in 2019. This contract would have included upgrades to Birmingham's existing lighting units, which include LED technology, and associated infrastructure. Similar to the 2016 U.K. budget, approximately USD 2.03 billion (PS1.5 Billion) was allocated for the upgrade of the A-14 trunk highway between Huntingdon & Cambridge. Prolectric Services Ltd. deployed 24 solar LED lights under the project. These initiatives will likely fuel demand for solar leds in outdoor applications in the near future.
Market growth is expected to be supported by the increasing investments in this area, as well as growing concerns about energy drain and the low cost of solar LED products. Solar LEDs are a more cost-effective option for industrial and commercial properties than traditional lighting, which uses high-pressure sodium lamps connected to an electric grid. Outdoor solar LEDs are a more cost-effective alternative to traditional lighting due to their reduced dependence on the grid and trenching process.
Solar LED component prices are expected to fall due to factors such as falling battery costs, LED lighting cost, innovation in product design, and lighting efficiency improvements of landscape lighting products. In addition to the lower prices, municipalities in developing and underdeveloped regions will be encouraged to use solar LEDs due to their ease-of-use, longer life expectancy, low maintenance, and operational costs. Market growth is expected to be aided by the growing awareness of renewable energy assets and stringent regulatory reforms that focus on sustainable infrastructure development in both developed and developing countries.
Market growth is expected to be stimulated by increased promotional activities such as rebate programs to raise awareness about sustainable lighting products. Public-private Partnerships (PPPs), which are also supported by such initiatives, can be used to help local authorities and municipalities raise funds for solar LED-based street lighting. Market growth is expected to be driven by the increasing number of PPPs globally in this area.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on outdoor solar LED markets, leading to a decrease in year-on-year sales. Due to the scarcity of electronic components from China, both commercial and industrial solar led projects have slowed down. However, many ongoing solar LED lighting projects have also been affected by the pandemic. They are expected to recover once the situation stabilizes. The U.K. government delayed all solar project auctions and tenders until September 2021. The market was positively affected by regional government initiatives to protect existing projects during lockdowns. To protect auction processes and avoid project delays, the German government scheduled several solar tenders for 2020.
The market leader in terms of applications was the segment for solar LED street lamps, which accounted for a share of more than 50.0%. This trend is expected to continue for the forecast period. Segment growth is expected to be stimulated by the increase in smart city projects and investments made in road infrastructure improvements in many countries. To promote energy savings, many local municipalities are looking for Public-Private Partnerships to obtain funds to install street lights. This will encourage segment growth.
Over the forecast period, solar LEDs will see a 25.0% CAGR in demand. This segment has seen a lot of growth due to the availability of many solar garden LED products at a low price. It is likely that this trend will continue in the future. The lack of complicated wiring allows homeowners to install solar garden LEDs with much greater ease than other lighting sources. The segment is also seeing a rise in DIY landscaping and gardening.
In 2020, the 40W-149W segment was the dominant market segment accounting for over 39.0% of the total market. Floodlights and streetlights are the most popular products with power between 40W and 149W. They can be used in tunnels, roads, streets and paths. During the forecast period, the segment will see continued innovation that has led to products with higher illumination intensity and lower power consumption. This is expected to fuel its growth. The segment is also growing because of the increasing demand for power-efficient lighting solutions to replace traditional street lighting systems.
The lowest-power segment of solar LEDs (less than 39W) is expected to see the greatest CAGR during the forecast period. Solar LEDs of power less than 39W are most commonly used in garden lighting and wall lighting. This segment is expected to grow due to the increasing use of decorative lighting in outdoor areas. The segment is also being driven by the wide availability of DIY and power-efficient solar LEDs that can be used for garden and wall lighting.
In 2020, the commercial end-use segment was the dominant market segment accounting for over 50.0% of total revenue. The demand for solar LEDs for commercial spaces will be driven by increased investments in street lighting infrastructure development. Many utilities, governments, and local authorities offer tax rebates and incentive programs to encourage and promote the adoption of solar-powered LED lights. The demand for solar LEDs will increase in the commercial sector over the forecast period to encourage the adoption of renewable energy systems as well as energy efficiency.
Over the forecast period, the residential segment will grow at a steady rate of CAGR. This segment's growth can be attributed in part to an increase in outdoor spaces for hosting parties and other events. The increasing popularity of decorative exterior lighting for gardens and lawns will encourage outdoor solar LEDs to be used in residential settings during the forecast period. The segment will also benefit from the increasing adoption of solar PV modules with energy saving features.
Asia Pacific was the dominant market, accounting for over 40.0% of global revenue share in 2020.
