The commercial airport lighting market research report provides comprehensive data (region wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD Million" for the period 2024 to 2028, as well as historical data from 2018 to 2022 for the following segments.
The LED lighting segment will contribute a major share of the market. The adoption of LED lighting is high worldwide due to its energy-efficient features. The global market is transitioning from traditional lighting technologies to LED lighting technologies to bridge the emerging energy gap.
The LED lighting segment showed a gradual increase in market share with USD 344.00 million in 2018. Pilots have access to visual aids from LED lighting that help them quickly and confidently identify the runway. They give approaching pilots an added level of security. In comparison to incandescent lighting systems, LED airfield lighting systems use less energy and require less maintenance. Additionally, LED airfield lighting fixtures have low failure rates. Thus, airport aprons, taxiways, runways, terminals, and parking lots are increasingly using LED lighting, including industrial and commercial LED lighting. For instance, in 2018, Ontario International Airport (Canada) was upgraded with more than 300 SolarMax LED lights. By installing SolarMax LED lights, the airport could save 50% of its energy consumption. Hence, these factors are expected to augment the demand for LED lighting products, which in turn will drive the growth of the commercial airport lighting market during the forecast period.
The term landside applications refers to the use of lighting solutions in locations other than the airport terminal building, such as parking lots, access roads, and other outdoor areas. The landside application segment is anticipated to see significant growth in the upcoming years due to the increasing number of airports around the world and the need to provide safe and efficient lighting solutions in these locations. Because of their high energy efficiency, durability, and longevity, LED lighting options are expected to dominate the landside application segment. The adoption of smart lighting solutions, which can change lighting levels based on ambient lighting levels and can be controlled remotely, is also anticipated to fuel this market expansion. Hence, these factors are expected to augment the demand from the landside application segment, which, in turn, will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 47% to the growth by 2028. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period.

In APAC, the market is expanding rapidly. In nations like China, India, Australia, Singapore, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, and Nepal, numerous new airports are being built. In APAC, China is the market leader. Each year, China hosts about 720 million travelers. By 2020, the Chinese government intended to build 74 additional airports and construct 74 new ones. For example, the Beijing Daxing International Airport (China) was anticipated to open in September 2019. It has four runways, one navigation system, and six instrument landing systems. By 2021, the airport was projected to handle roughly 45 million passengers annually. Hence, such factors will fuel market growth in APAC during the forecast period.
The market is poised for significant growth driven by several key factors. Firstly, the continuous increase in passenger traffic worldwide is boosting the demand for efficient and reliable airport lighting systems to ensure safe operations and navigation. Additionally, rising investments in modernization projects and the construction of new airports are driving the adoption of advanced lighting technologies such as Solar power LEDs, which offer energy efficiency and environmental benefits, thus reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Moreover, the emphasis on preventive maintenance to ensure uninterrupted operations amid the pandemic and beyond is fueling the market's growth trajectory. Furthermore, with airports operating at full capacity and facing pressure to improve connectivity and streamline operations, there's a growing demand for innovative lighting solutions. This includes the adoption of LED-based airfield lighting, wireless power transmission, and contactless power concepts, which offer enhanced efficiency, flexibility, and reliability. The market is also witnessing a shift away from traditional incandescent lights towards LED lighting due to its superior performance, longer lifespan, and cost effectiveness. These trends indicate a healthy growth rate for the market, driven by the need for modernization, efficiency, and safety in airport operations.
The market is driven primarily by the increase in passenger traffic, which has been consistently increasing over the years. This growth necessitates modernization efforts and investments in airport infrastructure, including systems, to ensure safe and efficient operations. Additionally, the construction of new airports and expansion projects at existing ones further fuels the demand for advanced solutions.
Further, amidst challenges such as the pandemic and funding constraints, airport operators are under pressure to enhance connectivity and capacity while maintaining safety standards. This emphasis on aviation strategy and operational efficiency drives the adoption of innovative technologies and preventive maintenance practices. Overall, the market's healthy growth rate is sustained by the global increase in air passenger traffic and the strategic focus on expanding and modernizing existing airport infrastructure. Hence, these factors are driving commercial airport lighting market growth during the forecast period.
The adoption of smart lighting solutions is an emerging trend in the market. Modern technologies like sensors and automation are becoming more integrated into commercial airport systems around the world. These technologies offer a number of benefits, including higher productivity, lower maintenance costs, and improved safety. Increased energy efficiency and reduced maintenance requirements are two examples of how sensors can be used to control lighting systems' brightness and color temperature in response to changing environmental factors.
Moreover, operations can become more reliable and safe by becoming more effective and error-prone through automation. The incorporation of these technologies is also anticipated to improve the passenger experience because systems can adapt to individual needs and preferences. As a result, it is anticipated that the trend toward the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies such as smart lighting in the airport industry will persist, which will, in turn, fuel commercial airport lighting market growth during the forecast period.
The high cost and maintenance of airport systems are major challenges impeding the market growth. Airport lighting systems need to be affordable, energy-efficient, strong, dependable, and secure. Manufacturers and service providers must establish a balance between these requirements to meet the lighting needs of airport operators while keeping costs in check. To develop new, energy-efficient technologies and better maintenance procedures to reduce downtime and lengthen the lifespan of systems, significant R&D investments are required.
However, due to the high cost of materials and labor, businesses must optimize their supply chains and operational processes to reduce costs. If they do not take the necessary steps, their costs will rise, their profitability will decline, and they will not be able to successfully compete in the global market. Hence, this challenge is expected to hinder commercial airport lighting market growth during the forecast period.
