By 2027 there will be 363 million streetlights in the world, and smart streetlighting will account for 29% of them, in a total LED and smart street lighting market worth $64 billion. The study reveals that Telensa has retained its market share lead over Silver Spring Networks, Philips Lighting and Echelon, with almost double the number of deployed smart streetlight nodes as its nearest competitor.

"Telensa is the global market share leader in smart street lighting, systems that represent the next wave of large-scale smart city IoT deployments," said Ben Gardner, president of Northeast Group. "In the past few years, smart streetlights have progressed from a nascent market to established early deployments of smart city infrastructure, as cities across the globe have embraced the technology.”

Telensa is behind the world’s largest smart streetlighting deployment in the US, and has been awarded significant new city and regional projects over the last year, the latest being with Wellington in New Zealand. The company’s revenues have grown by 90% since 2016, and are 3 times those reported for 2015.
