Underwater Lighting Market Outlook - 2026

Underwater lighting is used from large swimming pools to small aquariums. Around 50% of the global population is residing in the urban areas, which has led to increase in large number of houses; thereby, increasing the number of swimming pools. The ongoing urbanization and increase in disposable income have led to increase in the number of swimming pools. 

The improved lifestyle of the consumers also increases the demand for swimming pools. Therefore, increase in the demand of swimming pools is the key factor that drives the growth of the underwater lighting market. Various sources for underwater lightning are LED, halogen, and metal halide lamps. Underwater lighting has a wide range of applications such as boat/yacht lighting and fountains. Increase in underwater sports activities such as scuba diving, deep sea fishing, and snorkeling is expected to fuel the growth of the underwater lighting market. Furthermore, increase in number of government initiatives to support the adoption of energy-efficient LEDs also boost the market growth. However, high installation costs of energy-efficient LEDs restrain the growth of the underwater lightning market. 

The market of underwater lightning is highly competitive and the strategies adopted by the key players are new product launch, product development, business expansion, merger, and acquisition. For instance, in February 2018, Shadow-Caster has announced its integration with Garmin OneHelm platform. This platform enables users with complete integrated control of all lighting on a vessel. Shadow-Caster’s system provides the user an availability to set the brightness and color for multiple zones through the Garmin multi-function display.

The significant impacting factors for the growth of the underwater lighting market include increase in demand for underwater lighting in swimming pools, rise in underwater sports and amusement activities, and surge in number of government initiatives to support the adoption of energy-efficient LEDs. In addition, the restraining factor by which the market is influenced includes high installation costs of energy-efficient LEDs. Each of these factors is anticipated to have a definite impact on the underwater lighting market during the forecast period.
