ON World Predicts Bright Future for the Smart Home Lighting Market
in North America Set to Reach $2.3 Billion by 2030

The smart home lighting market in North America is set to brighten considerably, with equipment revenues reaching $2.3 billion by 2030 from $944 million in 2023, according ON World. This significant growth is fueled by increasing consumer interest and advancements in smart bulbs, strips, lamps, and fixtures, which are projected to constitute the bulk of the revenues.

Channel Trends Shaping the Future

Online sales of smart home products is experiencing a paradigm shift, with intense competition driving the market share of the top 8 leaders from 67% in 2020 down to 34% in 2022. Smart lamps, light strips and fixtures are leading the charge in online growth in the last few years.

Conversely, retail sales are witnessing an uptick, with a 15% increase in average weekly sales since 2021, as per ON World's Q3 2023 survey of 104 smart lighting retail sales representatives. Smart switches are especially gaining momentum in Home Centers, Mass Markets, and Hardware stores.

Professional installers are also seeing steady growth of 12%-17% over the last two years, with the highest demand observed for smart light switches, blinds/shades, panelized lighting, and indoor light fixtures.
