Global LiDAR Market Scope:

Product Type Analysis

The airborne segment was dominant in the market, accounting for 37.5% of the total revenue share in 2021. Due to the increasing adoption of aerial mapping devices, the segment’s growth is expected to continue over the next few years. Aerial LiDAR is a precise and comprehensive method to create digital elevation models. It can replace photogrammetry. This system provides greater area coverage than its terrestrial counterparts, and large-area mapping is possible in shorter time periods.

Terrestrial LiDAR is mobile or stationary and can only be used on the Earth’s surface. Static terrestrial scanning is the preferred method for monitoring, traditional topography, forensics, and cultural heritage documentation. Mobile and UAV Light Detection and Rangingworks in both aerial and mobile modes.

It can also be used on the Earth’s surface and surrounding environment. Major investment is expected from key players to drive the Light Detection and Rangingmarket’s growth. This includes the rising use of UAV and mobile LiDAR systems and the increasing number and quality of product launches. RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH introduced the lightweight airborne LiDAR (lightweight airborne LiDAR) for UAVs in October 2019.

This miniature UAV sensor is used primarily for UAV-based applications that require acquiring small objects. YellowScan Explorer, a French-based UAV Light Detection and Rangingsolution designer, was also launched in September 2021 by YellowScan. It can be mounted on light aircraft with a human crew or used to switch between different UAV platforms. It was able to be used by end-users for a variety of projects.

Component analysis

The laser scanner segment was dominant, with a 45.5% revenue share in 2021. Aerial scanning and mapping will see increased demand in 2021 due to their greater adoption globally. Laser scanners can record intensity values and provide a return signal strength. This is useful for distinguishing objects with variable reflectivity. 2D point cloud data is produced by laser scanner LiDAR.

This data can be used for localization, mapping, and object & environmental modeling. With a CAGR rate of 11.4%, the laser based scanner segment will see significant growth over the forecast period. Laser scanners can measure the intensity of objects to provide a return signal strength. This allows them to distinguish objects with variable reflectivity.

2D point cloud data is produced by laser scanner LiDAR. This data can be used for localization, mapping, and environment modeling. 3D scanning technology is now more popular due to its lower cost. Pepperl+Fuchs introduced the R2300 multi-layer scanner in December 2019. It offered high measurement density with Light Detection and Ranginglaser technology.

Application analysis

Corridor mapping dominated the market with a 38.2% revenue share in 2021. Due to the rapid incorporation of LiDAR sensors in various automotive safety apps, the ADAS segment will see a 13.7% CAGR over the forecast period. Tower Semiconductor, a manufacturer of integrated circuits, based in Israel, announced its breakthroughs in LiDAR technology for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

This was achieved through the development of LiDAR IC technology. Market share for corridor mapping is expected to drop over the forecast period. Driver assistance systems and low-speed collision avoidance devices are two of the most in-demand technologies. The integration of a map-enabled system provides a variety of application options. This includes lane departure systems and driver assistance systems.

Intelligent front lighting systems enabled by the combined adaptive front lighting can also be incorporated. Assistive driving cars have been gaining popularity in recent years. These automobiles use Light Detection and Rangingand cameras to detect the surrounding environment and avoid accidents. Velodyne LiDAR Inc., a California-based LiDAR technology company, made announcing the acquisition of Mapper.ai, Inc.’s localization and mapping software in July 2019. This acquisition was made to increase the production of the company’s ADAS systems.

Recently, LiDAR has become one of the most significant tools utilized within commercial drones. commercial drone industry to capture quality and precise evaluation data. Furthermore, governments from several countries are using LiDAR technology to map topographical surveys, surveillance also monitoring the gas, oil as well as mining sectors.
