Market Dynamics and Trends
Drivers
The urban population as well as urban areas expands with the increasing urbanization in the developing regions. With expansion of urban areas, the construction and development of highways also increases. Moreover, increasing public investment by government and rising private funding leads to more construction projects of highways and roadways which will further foster the industry growth. Highways and roadways are a huge opportunity ground for solar streetlights. Rising focus on solar energy and potential use of solar technologies coupled with growing demand for clean energy sources will drive the industry growth. Solar has grown at a pace owing to fast decreasing costs and increasing demand for sustainable electricity across the commercial and public sectors. Also, growing environmental concerns and need for reduction of carbon footprint provides opportunity for growth in the global street lighting market.
Restraint
Higher initial installation cost and investment of solar streetlight is much higher in comparison to traditional streetlamps which hinders the growth of solar street lighting market during the forecast period. The actual cost of solar streetlights is considerably very low due to its low maintenance requirements since it is an off-grid system, there is also no daily running cost. The long-term benefit of solar streetlights are not properly utilized because of lack of investment projects. However, solar technologies are rapidly developing and the installation cost can be assumed to decrease in the future due to advancements in the renewable energy technologies.
