LiDAR Market Trends:

Rising demand for autonomous vehicles (AVs)

The IMARC Group's report shows that the global autonomous vehicles market reached US$ 81.0 Billion in 2023. AVs use high-tech sensors to identify the conditions of the surroundings and navigate the traffic environment independently. As safety is a top priority in the development of automated vehicles, the need of LiDAR sensor technology, which offer precise and reliable detection, is increasing continuously. Besides the cameras, radar and other sensors, LiDAR is used to create a real-time 360-degree view of the surroundings of AVs. LiDAR sensors provide precise distance measurements, allowing for informed decisions by AVs and safe navigation in all driving conditions like complex urban settings and challenging weather conditions.

Growing population in urban areas

The World Bank's report claims that around 50% of the population was residing in urban areas in 2023. There is a growing need for the development of efficient transportation systems and traffic management solutions. LiDAR technology is used to gather information on road networks, traffic patterns, and pedestrian flows, which, in turn, helps the transportation planners to optimize traffic signals, design the safer intersections, and plan the public transportation routes more efficiently. Besides this, the increasing urban population is leading to the need for more infrastructure development, such as roads, buildings and utilities. LiDAR technology is the main component of urban planning and development as it provides the 3D mapping and modeling of urban environments. Urban planners utilize LiDAR data to evaluate land use, study the transportation networks and to make the city layout for efficient use of space and resources, thereby contributing to the LiDAR market growth.

Increasing adoption of precision agriculture

The application of LiDAR technology in precision agriculture makes it possible to carry out sustainable farming by reducing the input usage, limiting the environmental impact, and improving the resource efficiency. In line with this, LiDAR technology aids in the precision planting and harvesting by providing the exact measurements of plant spacing, row alignment, and crop maturity. This data enables farmers to modify the planting densities, reduce the crop damage during harvesting, and increase the harvesting efficiency, which, consequently, results in higher yields and lower operational costs. According to the IMARC Group's report, the global precision agriculture market is expected to reach US$ 20.2 Billion by 2032.

LiDAR Market Segmentation:

Breakup by Installation Type:

• Airborne
• Terrestrial

Airborne LiDAR systems are installed on the aircraft or drones which enable them to shoot a large portion of the terrain in a short time with great precision and efficiency. This ability shows that airborne LiDAR is perfect for tasks, such as topographic mapping, land surveying, urban planning, and forestry management. Besides this, airborne LiDAR is commonly used in the inspection of infrastructure, disaster management, and environmental monitoring, which involve remote or inaccessible areas, where access is not possible.

Terrestrial LiDAR systems are ground-based and usually fitted on tripods or vehicles, as they can record the 3D data of stationary objects or environments with high accuracy. They are used in several applications like topographic mapping, urban planning, infrastructure monitoring, and cultural heritage preservation. In the fields of surveying and mapping, terrestrial LiDAR systems are perfect for capturing detailed terrain and building feature, which helps in creating the accurate digital elevation models (DEMs) and the 3D city models. This, in turn, is catalyzing the LiDAR demand across the globe.

Breakup by Component:

• Laser Scanners
• Navigation Systems
• Global Positioning Systems
• Others

Laser scanners holds the largest share of the industry

Laser scanners emit laser beams and measure the time it takes for the light to return after hitting an object, thus creating highly detailed 3D maps of the surrounding environment. In industries, such as automotive, laser scanners are essential components for autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), providing a crucial data for navigation, obstacle detection, and collision avoidance. Additionally, laser scanners are extensively used in topographic mapping, urban planning, forestry management, and infrastructure inspection.

Breakup by Application:

• Corridor Mapping
