- The twin fairs reveal brand new product trends including greenovation, customisation, connectivity & creativity, health & wellness and smart technology

- Both the Asian Lighting Forum (6 April) and Smart Lighting Solution Forum (7 April) will be held during the fair period to explore the latest trends and developments in the lighting industry

HONG KONG, Apr 6, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) - The 2nd Smart Lighting Expo and 16th Hong Kong International Lighting Fair (Spring Edition), organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), opened today and will continue until 9 April at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. This year, the theme for both fairs is Go Smart, Live Green, presenting innovative and eco-friendly lighting solutions to enhance smart living and promote sustainability.

Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC, said: “As one of the events of Business of Innovation & Technology Week (BIT Week), Smart Lighting Expo returns this year and showcases a range of products and solutions, including smart lighting technologies, human-centric designs, sustainable lighting and much more. The Spring Lighting Fair continues to serve as a one-stop trading platform for diverse lighting products. The two fairs bring together some 1,000 exhibitors, creating an exceptional business and trade event for lighting fixtures, products and solutions.”

According to Statista, the size of the global smart lighting market is expected to surge from US$8.1 billion in 2020 to US$44 billion in 2030. Smart lighting is programmed to allow users to adjust brightness, colour and colour temperature according to their needs. The International Energy Agency (IEA) predicts that LED technology will significantly reduce global electricity use by 2026, cutting carbon emissions by billions of dollars annually, and the widespread use of solar lighting solutions in urban infrastructure projects further demonstrates the industry's commitment to renewable energy.

Two lighting fairs reveal new product trends

In the face of changing market demands, apart from focusing on the functionality, the lighting industry continues to innovate this year with new trends such as sustainability, personalisation and creativity, healthy lighting and artificial intelligence (AI) technology being incorporated into lighting products.

- Greenovation - Sustainable and innovative lighting products

In response to the growing demand for sustainable solutions, the lighting sector has embraced “greenovation” — a forward-thinking approach that merges eco-friendly practices with cutting-edge technology and is becoming a new driver of growth. The principles of the circular economy are reshaping how lighting products are created, as seen from an increased use of recyclable and biodegradable components in fixtures, reducing environmental footprints.
