Smart Street Lighting: Powering Connected Cities

August 27, 2025 8:00 pm
In a world increasingly driven by efficiency, sustainability, and smart infrastructure, smart street lighting has emerged as a key component in the evolution of urban environments. With cities striving to reduce energy consumption and minimize environmental impact, the global adoption of smart street lighting solutions is accelerating at an impressive pace.

 

Recent industry analysis reveals that Europe is currently leading the global charge, accounting for 35% of the worldwide installed base of smart street lighting systems in 2024. With 32.9 million smart street lights installed globally by the end of last year, the sector is experiencing a rapid transformation. Analysts project that the installed base will surpass 100 million units by 2030, driven by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of nearly 21%.

North America is not far behind. The region ranks second in the global smart street lighting market, responsible for approximately one-third of the world’s shipment volumes in 2024. This strong showing highlights the growing momentum across developed economies as they modernize their lighting infrastructure to support smarter cities.

At the forefront of this movement are key vendors that have helped shape and scale the industry. Signify has cemented its status as the world’s leading smart street lighting vendor, with 5.8 million lighting control units (LCUs) in its installed base in 2024. This leap in market position followed the acquisition of Telenesa – formerly the top vendor – in 2021.

DOTS partners with a leading smart street lighting vendor for Indonesia. Our partner has installations in locations such as Japan, Cambodia, France, Spain, among other countries. Our value also extends to solutions including smart waste, smart parking, and smart environment.

The smart street lighting industry is also seeing a notable rise in new vendors reaching significant milestones. A growing number of companies have surpassed 1 million installed LCUs—clear evidence of increasing demand and the scalability of smart lighting infrastructure. Municipalities and city planners are more focused than ever on reducing operational costs, enhancing energy efficiency, and cutting carbon emissions.

In Indonesia, the potential impact of smart street lighting extends beyond efficiency and cost savings. It represents a pivotal step toward improving environmental conditions in rapidly growing cities. By deploying adaptive lighting systems that adjust brightness based on traffic flow and pedestrian activity, municipalities can significantly cut electricity use and reduce carbon emissions. Integrating these systems along with advanced sensors can help monitor air quality and urban heat levels. For Indonesia, where urban expansion and sustainability challenges are deeply intertwined, scaling smart lighting solutions could play a critical role in shaping healthier and more resilient smart cities.smart city using smart street lighting technology
