LONDON<\/span>, Feb. 14, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Frost & Sullivan’s latest analysis, Top 8 Growth Opportunities in Lighting, reveals that the global lighting industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation driven by artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) integration, sustainability imperatives, and new service-led business models.<\/p>\n The findings will be shared and discussed with industry leaders at Messe Frankfurt GmbH’s Light + Building, where Frost & Sullivan is serving as a strategic Knowledge Partner.<\/p>\n According to the study, intelligent and adaptive lighting<\/b> remains the highest-ranked growth opportunity for 2026, reflecting rising demand for human-centric lighting systems that improve occupant well-being, productivity, and energy efficiency. The convergence of AI, IoT, and advanced sensors enables lighting systems to dynamically adapt to occupancy patterns, environmental conditions, and circadian rhythms.<\/p>\n “Lighting is no longer just about illumination – it has become a strategic platform for energy optimisation, data generation, connectivity, and occupant experience,” said Melvin Leong, Senior Director in Frost & Sullivan’s Energy & Buildings Practice<\/b>. “Organisations that embrace intelligent controls, interoperability, and circular design principles will be best positioned to capture long-term growth.”<\/p>\n Key Growth Highlights for 2026<\/b><\/p>\n Frost & Sullivan’s experts emphasise that future growth in lighting will depend on manufacturers’ ability to move beyond product-centric strategies toward ecosystem-driven innovation<\/b>, combining intelligent hardware, software, connectivity, and services.<\/p>\n As a strategic Knowledge Partner for Messe Frankfurt GmbH’s Light + Building – the world’s leading event for lighting and building services technology – Frost & Sullivan will actively engage with manufacturers, solution providers, and ecosystem partners in Frankfurt to discuss the implications of these findings.<\/p>\n Attendees visiting the show from 8\u201313 March are invited to meet with Frost & Sullivan’s experts to explore how these growth opportunities can be translated into actionable strategies for innovation, sustainability, and long-term value creation.<\/p>\n Don’t miss our Energy & Building Practice Leader Jonathan Robinson’s contribution to Light + Building’s special programme, “Building in Connection \u2013 Market Insights”.
