The convergence of AI, IoT, and advanced sensors enables lighting systems to dynamically adapt to occupancy patterns, environmental conditions, and circadian rhythms.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Lighting is no longer just about illumination &#8211; it has become a strategic platform for energy optimisation, data generation, connectivity, and occupant experience,&quot; said <b>Melvin Leong, Senior Director in Frost &amp; Sullivan&#8217;s Energy &amp; Buildings Practice<\/b>. &quot;Organisations that embrace intelligent controls, interoperability, and circular design principles will be best positioned to capture long-term growth.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><b>Key Growth Highlights for 2026<\/b><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Precision lighting and control in horticulture<\/b>&nbsp;continues to rank second, fuelled by the rapid expansion of controlled-environment agriculture, vertical farming, and year-round food production. Sensor-driven spectral tuning and AI-based optimization are helping growers improve yields while reducing energy consumption.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Wireless lighting and controls<\/b>&nbsp;rise in importance as organisations prioritize flexible, retrofit-friendly solutions that integrate seamlessly with building management systems. Technologies such as Bluetooth Mesh, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi are accelerating adoption across commercial, industrial, and urban infrastructure.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Interoperable lighting control protocols<\/b>&nbsp;are becoming critical to smart building deployment, enabling seamless integration with HVAC, security, and energy management systems while reducing vendor lock-in.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Enhanced emergency lighting<\/b>&nbsp;is evolving into intelligent, connected safety infrastructure with real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and automated compliance testing, improving reliability and lowering lifecycle costs.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Circular lighting<\/b>&nbsp;underscores the industry&#8217;s shift toward sustainability, with modular, repairable luminaires and recyclable materials extending product lifecycles and supporting global regulatory requirements.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>Lighting-as-a-Service (LaaS)<\/b>&nbsp;is transforming traditional revenue models by enabling customers to adopt advanced lighting technologies without upfront capital investment, while manufacturers benefit from recurring, outcome-based revenues.\n<\/li>\n<li><b>LiFi-powered lighting systems<\/b>, a new entrant in the top rankings, highlight the growing role of lighting as a secure, high-speed data communication platform, particularly in environments where radio frequency congestion or data security is a concern.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Frost &amp; Sullivan&#8217;s experts emphasise that future growth in lighting will depend on manufacturers&#8217; ability to move beyond product-centric strategies toward <b>ecosystem-driven innovation<\/b>, combining intelligent hardware, software, connectivity, and services.<\/p>\n<p>As a strategic Knowledge Partner for Messe Frankfurt GmbH&#8217;s Light + Building &#8211; the world&#8217;s leading event for lighting and building services technology &#8211; Frost &amp; Sullivan will actively engage with manufacturers, solution providers, and ecosystem partners in Frankfurt to discuss the implications of these findings.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees visiting the show from 8\u201313 March are invited to meet with Frost &amp; Sullivan&#8217;s experts to explore how these growth opportunities can be translated into actionable strategies for innovation, sustainability, and long-term value creation.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss our Energy &amp; Building Practice Leader Jonathan Robinson&#8217;s contribution to Light + Building&#8217;s special programme, &quot;Building in Connection \u2013 Market Insights&quot;.
