Middle East & Africa Lighting Contactor Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis – by Type (Electrically Held and Mechanically Held), End-User (Commercial, Residential, and Industrial), and Application (Indoors and Outdoors)   

The lighting contactor market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 65.36 million in 2022 to US$ 101.86 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% from 2022 to 2028.

Penetration of IoT in Lighting Control Systems

Nowadays, lights come with a variety of features, such as software-enabled control, Bluetooth, and WiFi. The IoT in lighting is expected to transform the industry in the near future. These lights are connected to the network. The IoT-enabled lights can be a game changer for the lighting market. Some of these lights have sensors that help provide information. For instance, light with sensors can detect how long a customer spent in a retail store aisle looking at a particular product. These lights can be managed via mobile app or web to increase or reduce the brightness, color changing, etc. IoT-enabled lights find significant demand in the commercial sector. Due to increasing demand, various companies, such as Philips and Wipro, are offering a variety of IoT-enabled lights. Thus, IoT-enabled lights are driving the lighting contactor market. In August 2021, Signify launched Wiz smart light range, including LED smart downlighter, T-Bulb, T-Beamer, and Batten. The company expanded its Philips smart WiFi ecosystem in India with this launch. Such IoT-enabled light launches are increasing the demand for contactors and, thus, driving the lighting contactor market.
