LiDAR Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global LiDAR market size reached US$ 2.2 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 7.0 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9% during 2023-2028. The increasing sales of AVs, rising construction activities, and the growing number of mining activities represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create precise 3D models of environments. Its system comprises a laser, scanner, and specialized GPS receiver that operates by targeting an object with a pulsed laser and calculating the time taken for the reflected light to return to the receiver. Its sensors can scan large areas quickly, detect obstacles and prevent accidents. It can be mounted on various platforms, including a tripod, aircraft, helicopter, drone, vehicle, and train. It is used for examining, detecting, and mapping of objects due to its high precision, low cost, and enhanced features as compared to conventional methods. It is also utilized to quickly assess damage to infrastructure after a disaster, such as a hurricane or an earthquake.

LiDAR Market Trends:

LiDAR is employed in the automotive industry to detect and track lane markings, which can be used for lane departure warnings and lane keeping assistance, measuring the distance between vehicles, and adjusting the speed of the vehicle accordingly. This, coupled with the increasing sales of autonomous vehicles (AVs) on account of rapid urbanization and inflating income levels, represents one of the major factors bolstering the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising construction activities of roads, bridges, and tunnels on account of the growing global population and increasing investments in the development of smart cities are influencing the market positively. In addition, the rising use of LiDAR in energy production to survey sites for renewable energy projects, such as wind farms and solar power plants, is favoring the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing usage of LiDAR systems in the aerospace and defense industries for tracking low flying aircraft, as they can accurately measure the dimension and distance of the target and perform efficiently in all weather conditions, is creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, there is an increase in the adoption of LiDAR in the mining industry for mapping underground tunnels and identifying potential safety hazards. This, along with the rising number of mining activities, is propelling the growth of the market.
