The Asia Pacific region currently dominates the global solar street lighting market. The region is expected to account for 37.8% of the market share in 2024. Countries like China, India, and Japan have established robust solar manufacturing industries over the past decade which has enabled large scale production of solar panels and associated products like street lights. The region is home to some key industry players and several small and medium enterprises involved in solar product manufacturing. Governments across Asia Pacific have also introduced supportive policies and subsidies that have boosted the adoption of solar street lighting solutions in both urban and rural areas. This has established a sizeable demand in the regional market. Additionally, the moderate climatic conditions allow for efficient operation of solar lighting systems throughout the year.

Middle East & Africa has emerged as the fastest growing regional market for solar street lights. Many countries in the region still lack access to reliable electricity grid infrastructure. This has made off-grid renewable energy solutions highly relevant. Successful pilot projects by private firms and non-profits have showcased the merits of utilizing the abundant solar resource for lighting community spaces and streets. Recognizing this, governments are promoting the use of solar street lights through rural electrification programs. International organizations are also extending financial and technical aid for the installation of large number of systems. The pay-as-you-go business models adopted by lighting companies have further accelerated sales across Africa.
