Middle East & Africa Smart Lighting Market – Overview

A smart lighting system is an internet-connected lighting solution for smart homes. To automate lights or control them remotely, one may use smart LED bulbs that include software that links to an app, smart home assistant, or another smart accessory, doing away with the need for conventional wall switches. Smart lights use wireless transmissions to deliver and receive their signals. They provide numerous benefits over traditional lighting including lower energy usage, a longer life span of lights, and increased security as these also include motion detection features.

Growth Drivers

Government Projects of Infrastructure Development

With increasing smart city and infrastructural development projects, the demand for smart lighting is projected to flourish during the forecast period. Many MEA countries, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and South Africa, are investing in installing smart lighting into their streetlights and other commercial spaces. Saudi Arabia, for instance, is implementing a project to install a new smart lighting system in the holy city of Madinah in line with Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s environmental objectives. Qatar also installed smart solar streetlights in preparation for the world cup. These installations are providing lucrative growth opportunities to the overall Middle East & Africa smart lighting market.

Restraints

High Risk of Data and Privacy Breaches

Smart lighting uses sensors and transfers data through wireless connectivity, which exposes it to cyberattacks and data breaches. Recently, IKEA smart lights have been found to contain two vulnerabilities that might be exploited by an attacker to take over the system and cause the bulbs to flicker on and off quickly. Researchers have debunked the security systems of these smart lighting on several occasions. With increasing consciousness towards data privacy among consumers and stringent government regulations in protecting individual data, the demand for smart lighting may get affected negatively.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Middle East & Africa Smart Lighting Market

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic affected the growth of the Middle East & Africa smart lighting market. The increasing cases of the coronavirus prompted the governments of these regions to impose lockdown restrictions. This resulted in the temporary suspension of infrastructural development activities, inducing a subsequent decline in the installation of smart lighting and halting market growth. Furthermore, the pandemic also created a huge shortage of semiconductor chips in the market due to the lack of production in China. The shortage of semiconductor chips directly affected the sensor manufacturing industry, resulting in huge losses for the smart lighting market as well.
