Guiding the Skies: Global Airport Lighting Market Outlook to 2030

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, "Airport Lighting Market," The global airport lighting market size was valued at $0.6 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $1.0 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2024 to 2030.

Airport lighting refers to a system of specialized illumination installed across airport facilities to support safe aircraft operations during takeoff, landing, taxiing, and parking. These systems are essential for maintaining visibility in low-light or adverse weather conditions, aiding both pilots and ground personnel in precise navigation. Designed for various operational needs, airport lighting includes components such as runway lights, taxiway lights, approach lighting systems, and apron lights. Beyond visibility, these systems are vital for enhancing air traffic management, safety, and operational efficiency throughout the airport environment-day or night.

The airport lighting market is poised for growth, driven by the increasing adoption of high-intensity approach lighting systems (ALS) and runway end identifier lights (REILs). These systems enhance pilot visibility and accuracy during critical phases of flight-especially during low-visibility landings or instrument approaches-by providing a clear and reliable visual reference. This contributes to greater flight safety and reduces pilot workload. Additionally, the integration of smart lighting controls and automated technologies is expected to unlock lucrative opportunities in the market, enabling energy efficiency and intelligent airfield operations.

However, the complex installation and maintenance requirements of airport lighting infrastructure may act as a restraining factor during the forecast period. Despite these challenges, the overall outlook remains strong due to the rising demand for global air travel. As airports become increasingly congested, the need for modern, efficient, and safe lighting systems is becoming more urgent. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), global airline passenger demand-as measured by revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs)-increased by 21.5% in February 2024 compared to February 2023. Total capacity, measured in available seat kilometers (ASK), rose by 18.7% year-over-year. In 2023, Asia-Pacific led global passenger traffic with 31.7% of RPKs, followed by Europe (27.1%) and North America (24.2%). The Middle East, Latin America, and Africa accounted for 9.4%, 5.5%, and 2.1% respectively, highlighting a widespread need for airfield modernization across regions.

key trends shaping the Airport Lighting Market in 2024-2025:
🔹 1. LED Adoption for Energy Efficiency
Airports worldwide are rapidly transitioning from traditional halogen and incandescent systems to LED-based lighting. LEDs offer longer lifespans, lower maintenance costs, and up to 70% energy savings-making them ideal for sustainability goals and cost optimization.

🔹 2. Smart and Adaptive Lighting Systems
The integration of smart lighting controls is transforming airport lighting into dynamic systems that adjust intensity based on real-time conditions (e.g., weather, visibility, aircraft movement). This enhances operational efficiency and safety while reducing energy consumption.

🔹 3. Increased Focus on Safety and Compliance
With global aviation bodies (like ICAO and FAA) tightening safety standards, airports are investing in regulation-compliant lighting systems-especially for runways, taxiways, and approach paths.

🔹 4. Expansion of Airport Infrastructure
Rising air travel demand, especially in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, is driving the expansion and modernization of airport facilities, fueling the demand for advanced lighting systems in both new and retrofit projects.

🔹 5. Solar-Powered Airport Lighting
Airports in remote or developing regions are increasingly adopting solar-powered lighting systems for runways and taxiways, reducing grid dependency and enabling sustainable infrastructure growth.

🔹 6. Integration with Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) Systems
Modern airport lighting is becoming a part of integrated airfield ground lighting systems, connecting with air traffic control and airport operations for real-time monitoring and automated guidance.

The airport lighting market is segmented into types, position, technology, and region. By type, the market is divided into runway, taxiway, and apron lighting systems. As per position, the market is categorized into in-pavement lighting, elevated lighting and PAPI. Based on technology, the market is bifurcated into non-LED and LED. Region-wise the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Regionally, the airport lighting market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. In North America, the market is driven by the high density of airports serving both domestic and international travel, along with stringent safety regulations and a strong focus on technological innovation. These factors are accelerating the adoption of advanced lighting systems across the region.
Notably, in March 2023, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), under President Biden's Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, allocated $20 million to upgrade and build air traffic control towers at 29 airport-owned facilities. This initiative supports the modernization of infrastructure, especially in rural and regional airports, further fueling demand for advanced airport lighting solutions.
