According to the application field, the global market size of smart lighting shows that at the current stage, LED strip lighting may still rely on infrastructure construction in public and outdoor areas to gradually expand, and the largest market among them is the "smart city" construction industry.

At the beginning of the 21st century, countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore all carried out the practice of smart cities, sparking a global wave of smart city construction. Nowadays, smart cities as a whole have entered the planning and construction stage, with over 500 smart cities under construction worldwide, among which Europe, America, and Asia are regions with more active development of smart city construction. According to a report by the National Urban Alliance, approximately 66% of American cities are beginning to develop smart cities, and another 25% of cities that do not yet have smart city systems are also exploring this new trend. As for China, three batches of smart city pilot projects have been announced, totaling 290 cities; In addition, building smart cities will be an important lever for China to promote urbanization during the 13th Five Year Plan period.

Due to government support and the full promotion of smart city plans by major cities around the world, the construction of smart cities is expected to accelerate in the future. Therefore, as an important component of smart cities, the application of smart lighting in the public domain will also receive priority development.
