Growing smart office and smart retail trends, geographical opportunities in APAC and RoW regions, development of human-centric lighting solutions, growing demand for PoE-based lighting solutions in commercial and healthcare applications, the rapid transition from traditional lighting to connected lighting, and the growing inclination toward energy-efficient lighting solutions are the major opportunities for the smart lighting market. However, disruption in the smart lighting supply chain due to COVID-19 and interoperability issues between different network components are proving to be a challenge for the market.
