Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 215.45 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 14.30% during 2025-2033. The market is expanding steadily, driven by clean energy targets, urban growth, and rising infrastructure investments. Public projects and off-grid applications are pushing demand across both urban and rural areas. This is positively influencing the Saudi Arabia solar street lighting market share, especially as developers and municipalities continue to favor energy-efficient and low-maintenance lighting solutions.

Saudi Arabia Solar Street Lighting Market Trends:

Government Push for Renewable Lighting

The Saudi government has been steadily increasing support for solar-powered public infrastructure, and this includes a strong emphasis on solar street lighting. The shift aligns with Vision 2030, which targets lower reliance on fossil fuels and greater investment in clean energy. Ministries and municipal authorities are rolling out large-scale solar lighting installations to reduce electricity costs and promote sustainability in urban and rural zones alike. Regulations encouraging green building standards have also created room for solar lighting to expand as part of city planning and smart city development projects. As more cities move toward automation and energy-efficient systems, solar-powered lighting becomes a natural fit due to its long-term cost benefits and ease of deployment. In 2024, the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs initiated a pilot project across secondary roads in Riyadh and Qassim, introducing solar lighting systems as a cost-saving measure. These were implemented in areas with limited grid connectivity, showing a clear preference for decentralized energy systems. Such initiatives reflect a growing pattern: Saudi Arabia is not only adopting solar lighting for environmental goals but also using it to improve rural access, reduce grid dependency, and modernize infrastructure through sustainable technologies. These factors are directly contributing to Saudi Arabia solar street lighting market growth, as demand rises for reliable and sustainable lighting across diverse regions.

Urban Expansion Fuels Lighting Demand

Rapid urbanization across Saudi Arabia is contributing to a rising need for outdoor lighting, particularly in newly developed commercial, residential, and industrial areas. As new cities and infrastructure projects take shape under government-backed programs, street lighting becomes essential for safety, accessibility, and public utility. Solar street lights are increasingly favored for new developments because they offer reduced installation complexity, no reliance on underground cabling, and lower operational expenses. Their standalone nature makes them especially useful in areas where the grid has not yet extended. In the second half of 2023, solar lighting systems were deployed in early phases of NEOM’s residential corridors and logistics zones, taking advantage of the region’s abundant sunlight and remote location. Similarly, real estate projects on the outskirts of Dammam and Jeddah have adopted solar solutions as part of cost-optimization and sustainability planning. Developers view solar lighting as a practical and forward-thinking option that aligns with national energy transition targets. These rollouts underscore a broader trend: as Saudi Arabia expands its cities and industrial clusters, solar street lighting is becoming a foundational feature in planning due to its scalability, reliability, and alignment with long-term energy strategies.
