Saudi Arabia Lighting Market Trends:

Rising infrastructure development

The ongoing infrastructure development is fueling the Saudi Arabia lighting market growth. As the country is investing in large-scale construction projects, there is a consistent demand for various lighting solutions across residential, commercial, and industrial spaces. In January 2025, the governmental authorities of Saudi Arabia revealed 73 projects focused on the environment, water, and agriculture valued at SAR 4.7 Billion (over USD 1.2 Billion). The initiatives corresponded with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, striving to boost sustainability, upgrade infrastructure, and deliver improved services to citizens. Projects like smart cities, entertainment hubs, and business zones need modern lighting systems to ensure safety, aesthetics, and energy efficiency. With infrastructure expanding into new areas, the need for street lighting, highway illumination, and public lighting systems is increasing steadily. Lighting is becoming essential for indoor use in new malls, hospitals, schools, and transport hubs that are being built to serve the growing population. Additionally, modern infrastructure focuses on sustainable and smart technologies, so developers prefer light emitting diode (LED) and intelligent lighting systems that align with energy-saving goals. The integration of lighting into smart city planning is positively influencing the market, as connected lighting offers better control and maintenance. The construction of housing units and commercial centers is driving the demand for ambient and task lighting products.

Increasing tourism activities

Rising tourism activities are offering a favorable Saudi Arabia lighting market outlook. In January 2025, the Saudi Minister of Tourism announced that the kingdom experienced 30 Million international arrivals in 2024, setting a new record for the nation. As the government is actively promoting tourism through mega projects and international campaigns, the construction of new hotels and resorts is increasing rapidly. These places need high-quality lighting systems for both aesthetic appeal and functional purposes. With landmarks and historical sites being upgraded to attract tourists, outdoor and decorative lighting play a key role in enhancing their visual impact, especially during night hours. The tourism sector also supports events, festivals, and cultural gatherings, which require advanced lighting setups for ambience and performance. Airports, train stations, and other transport facilities that handle tourist traffic are also expanding, demanding reliable and energy-optimized lighting. The hospitality industry focuses on mood lighting and smart lighting systems to offer a premium experience to visitors. As more international visitors are exploring the kingdom, cities and tourist zones are wagering on improved street lighting and public area illumination to boost safety and visibility.
