BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new report from Guidehouse Insights explores the role of mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in the lighting and intelligent building markets to meet new client demands.

The shifting lighting market is creating a new lighting ecosystem, driven by the proliferation of LEDs, the growth of controls, and the subsequent influx of available data. The market no longer solely consists of lighting OEMs—competition has expanded to include players from adjacent markets, technology providers, and startups. Click to tweet: According to a new report from @WeAreGHInsights, M&As are a driving force behind the emerging lighting ecosystem, and they are needed for legacy vendors to maintain relevance and address new client demands.

"Building occupants and customers are demanding a more connected, customized, and automated indoor space, pressuring building owners and managers to provide this intelligent building experience," says Krystal Maxwell, senior research analyst at Guidehouse Insights. "M&As can provide legacy lighting players the ability to expand and shift offerings to deliver these solutions to clients, address declining revenue, and build long-term client relationships."
