Rising Demand for Recessed and Energy-Efficient Lighting in Smart City Development”
- Recessed lighting is taking a bigger slice of the ambient lighting market because of its sleek design and ability to blend smoothly into ceilings and walls. These lights are popular in both homes and commercial spaces, where modern aesthetics and space-saving designs are in demand. Their clean look and wide beam coverage make them ideal for everything from living rooms to office spaces.
- At the same time, there’s growing interest in energy-efficient lighting, especially with the push toward lower power bills and sustainable living. This is boosting the market for smart lighting hardware. In the Asia-Pacific region, countries like India, China, Japan, and South Korea are rolling out smart city projects. These cities need intelligent, energy-saving lighting for streets, homes, and public spaces.
- As a result, demand for innovative ambient lighting—especially recessed and energy-efficient types—is growing fast. This trend is shaping the future of lighting across industries.
- For instance, In June 2024, the city of Seoul, South Korea, announced the next phase of its Smart City project, which includes upgrading over 25,000 public and residential lighting units with energy-efficient recessed LED lighting systems. These new installations are part of the city's goal to cut electricity usage by 40% across public infrastructure by 2030. The project highlights the growing adoption of sleek, recessed lighting solutions in both private and urban settings, aligning with the rising trend of smart, space-saving, and sustainable lighting across Asia-Pacific.
