The global commercial airport lighting market is expected to see a significant increase in the YoY growth rate due to the rising number of airports being constructed, particularly in North America and APAC. In addition, a number of existing airports are being renovated, further driving the growth of the market. Tourism is one of the major categories under the services sector. With the tourism industry seeing growth in countries worldwide, the need for airports to support this growth will also increase. With airfares showing a downward trend over the past few years, the demand for air travel has also grown exponentially.

Raghu Raj Singh (News - Alert), a lead analyst from Technavio, specializing in research on lighting sector, says, "Airports are increasingly installing new equipment and lighting systems that will allow a reduction in their operational costs. Although the initial investments required for these lighting systems can turn out to be higher than traditional systems, the installation will result in a higher ROI in the future. This is leading more companies to integrate such products during the construction of airports."

Evolution of technologies to monitor airport lighting systems

A major trend identified by Technavio is the growth of technologies that monitor airport lighting systems. Airport lighting systems include the airfield, terminal, and landside sections. A major development is the increasing use of automated measurement and adjustment of lighting parameters. Such technologies are being integrated with lighting systems for drivers to adjust to sudden changes, such as brightness.

"Dubai Airport in the UAE is focusing on investments toward the integration of smart lighting systems in tunnels, which will help drivers adapt gradually to the contrast between the brightness outside and the darkness inside the tunnel. This is necessary for regions such as the Middle East as, on exiting the tunnel, most drivers are blinded by bright sunlight during the daytime, resulting in a temporary loss of sight," according to Raghu.

Adoption of solar LED lights

Solar-powered LED lights capture solar energy through photovoltaic cells. These cells absorb solar energy during the daytime. The solar energy is then converted into electrical energy, which runs the LEDs in the nighttime. The use of solar-powered LED lights for commercial airport lighting is an important trend identified by Technavio. Solar power is a renewable source of energy, which means it is pollution free.

Solar-powered LEDs can be used in taxiway, terminal, and runway lights. In July 2017, Hyderabad International Airport in India announced that it had replaced all of its taxiway lightings with LEDs. The airport has also begun an initiative to install a 5MW solar power plant to meet the airport's energy requirements. In May 2017, Bangalore International Airport in India inaugurated solar farms on the airport premises.

Deployment of NB-IoT to develop smart airports

A major trend identified by Technavio is the deployment of narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) to develop smart airports. NB-IoT is a low power wide area (LPWA) technology. It allows the connection of several devices across cellular telecommunication bands. NB-IoT is a low power technology because its use is focused on applications and devices that operate at lower data rates.

The use of NB-IoT in airports will allow effective coordination across several stakeholders such as airport officials, staff, and passengers. NB-IoT can also be deployed for optimizing several operations such as traffic control in airport premises, monitoring of carbon dioxide levels, and detection of filled garbage cans.

The key vendors are as follows:

  • ADB SAFEGATE
  • atg airports
  • Avlite Systems
  • Eaton
  • General Electric
  • Philips (News - Alert) Lighting
  • vosla
