The global outdoor solar LED market size is expected to reach USD 41.12 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 27.5% from 2025 to 2030, according to the new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The use of solar PV cells in urban spaces for outdoor lighting applications has substantially increased over the last couple of years. The increased demand for these products can be attributed to their benefits on the fronts of energy efficiency, maintenance cost, and power cost over traditional lighting. As of 2020, the Europe market, closely following the Asia Pacific market in terms of market size, has witnessed a slight uptick in market demand with favorable regulations and incentive schemes supporting large-scale adoption.
Such government rebates and initiatives aimed at creating awareness about green, energy-saving products are anticipated to drive the adoption of solar LED products in commercial applications. For instance, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), a U.S.-based combined electric energy company, provides zero percent interest loans to non-residential customers for energy-saving projects, including implementing solar LED lighting systems. Similarly, the U.K. government implemented the Enhanced Capital Allowance (ECA) initiative to promote the adoption of energy-efficient lighting solutions among businesses in exchange for tax benefits.
Solar LEDs are also making their way in the DIY/decorative lights category. Several residential owners are spending on solar LEDs as a part of small-scale residential landscape projects and events. Furthermore, to promote the adoption of renewable and energy-efficient products such as solar lightings and LEDs, several utilities, and local governing bodies are offering rebates and discount schemes for residential owners. Thus, the increasing awareness about energy conservation and collaborative efforts taken by governments are likely to drive the adoption of solar LEDs in the residential sector.
