New Delhi, May 08: The Electric Lamp and Component Manufacturers Association of India (ELCOMA), in strategic association with Ace Exhibitions, today announced the launch of the inaugural “Lighting World & Home Tech Expo”, scheduled for 14–16 January 2027 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Conceived as a high-impact B2B + B2C marketplace and knowledge platform, the Expo will bring together the complete value chain—from lamps, luminaires and components to smart controls, automation, AV integration and energy management—supporting quality-led growth and stronger competitiveness for India’s lighting industry.
“Lighting World & Home Tech Expo is a timely, future-facing initiative. It creates a dedicated stage for advanced lighting, controls and connected–living solutions—helping manufacturers, brands and innovators engage with specifiers and buyers, showcase differentiated technology, and build partnerships that can scale across India,” said Mr. Parag Bhatnagar, President, ELCOMA.
“As the market rapidly upgrades to efficient, compliant and digitally enabled solutions, India is seeing sustained momentum in lighting. Industry estimates compiled by ELCOMA indicate that the Indian lighting market is valued at about USD 3.83 billion (2025) and is projected to reach USD 5.12 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.9%,” said Mr. Amal Sengupta, Secretary General, ELCOMA.
Broader market trackers also estimate the overall lighting market in India at about USD 14.1 billion (2024), with potential to reach USD 22.4 billion by 2030 (CAGR 8.6%). In parallel, smart lighting is emerging as one of the fastest-growing categories—driven by IoT-enabled controls, human-centric lighting, sensor-based automation and integration with building management systems.
“The convergence of lighting and home technology is now a decisive market shift. The India smart home market is estimated at USD 5.20 billion (2025) and forecast to reach USD 24.1 billion by 2031 (CAGR 29.12%). For lighting, this means greater demand for connected fixtures, intelligent drivers, certified controls and interoperable ecosystems that deliver measurable gains in energy efficiency, comfort, safety and lifecycle value,” Amal Sengupta added.
“The Expo is designed as a curated growth engine for the industry—connecting manufacturers and brands with architects, designers, developers, system integrators, EPCs, hospitality leaders, smart-city stakeholders and B2C buyers. By enabling discovery, specification and procurement in one destination, we aim to accelerate adoption of smart, sustainable and design-forward lighting across residential, commercial and infrastructure projects,” said Mr. Anupreet Singh Jaggi, Managing Director, ACEXM7 Events Pvt Ltd.
