The market for lidar is expected to grow from its estimated $1.1 billion in 2021 to $7.7 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3% between 2022 and 2031.
One of the major factor driving the LiDAR market growth across the globe is rising usage of LiDAR in mining applications. In addition, LiDAR enables mine operators by assisting them with the planning of mining as well as assessment of slope stability. Moreover, rising investments in power generation sector is anticipated to boost the LiDAR market growth in upcoming. On the other hand, relatively higher cost of LiDAR for the analysis of the applications, coupled with the lack of awareness about the technology, is one of the major restraint towards market growth.
The global market of LiDAR has been segmented by different product type, components, application, end user industries and geography. Further, product type segment of the market has been sub-divided into static or terrestrial, mobile, aerial and short. Likewise, components segment of the global LiDAR market has been sub-segmented into inertial navigation system, laser scanner, GPS receiver and camera and micro-electro-mechanical system.
Furthermore, application segment of the market is bifurcated into seismology, corridor mapping and exploration & detection purpose. Similarly, end-user industry segment of the LiDAR market is divided into civil engineering, defense & aerospace, forestry & agriculture, archaeology, mining industry and transportation.
Geographically, global LiDAR market is divided into several key regions covering Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and LAMEA. The market of North America region is probable of registering a substantial growth in the global LiDAR market, due to rising adoption of certain government regulations as well as making installation of certain technologies for automotive safety both in lightweight and heavyweight vehicles compulsory.
Some of the key players in the competitive land scape of the LiDAR market across the globe include Teledyne Optech Inc., Faro Technologies Inc., Quantum Spatial Inc., Velodyne LiDAR, Inc., Trimble Inc., Sick AG, Geokno, RIEGL USA, YellowScan and Leica Geosystems Holdings AG. Moreover, prominent players in the market are concentrating over upgrading their products in order to satisfy the growing demand in the developing markets.
