Building Lighting Control System Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Building Lighting Control System Manufacturers make components and develop software for building lighting control systems. Manufacturers derive their demand from a few different places. Downstream demand comes primarily from four markets, residential, commercial, industrial and institutional. Throughout the period, there has been a varying degree of demand from each market. During COVID-19, demand from all markets except residential clients was crushed. Following COVID-19, office buildings remained at a heightened vacancy rate as many companies continued remote work.

Trends and Insights

  • Major macroeconomic trends hindered downstream market growth through the end of 2024. Residential growth, being one of the few exceptions, sustained manufacturers in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • COVID-19 stemmed increased demand for targeted residential products. While work-from-home measures crushed demand for larger systems meant for businesses and institutions.
  • Companies in the Great Lakes benefit greatly from proximity to several factors. Exporting manufacturers can trade to Canada with less friction than other locations, while companies specializing in industrial clients are near the titans of industry.
  • Signify bolstered its presence in the market during the period. This came mostly from their acquisition of player Cooper Lighting.
