Market Overview:
The global light detection and ranging (LIDAR) market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for LIDAR systems from various applications such as government, civil engineering, military, defence and aerospace, corridor mapping, topographical surveys, volumetric mapping and others. Additionally, the growing demand for 3D scanning and modelling is also fuelling the growth of the global LIDAR market. However, high installation cost of LIDAR systems may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Product Definition:
Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) is a technology that uses light to determine the distance between objects. LIDAR is often used in conjunction with other sensors, such as radar and sonar, to create a more complete picture of the environment. LIDAR has many applications, including automotive safety features, mapping and surveying, land management, archaeology, and 3D printing.
Airborne LIDAR:
Airborne LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that uses laser to measure and analyze the physical features of the earth's surface. It is used for a wide range of applications such as topographical surveys, 3D mapping, volume measurement, and biomass estimation. The market for airborne LIDAR has been growing at an exponential rate owing to its increasing demand in various application areas such as infrastructure development & maintenance, geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), environmental studies among others.
Terrestrial LIDAR:
Terrestrial LIDAR is a remote sensing technology that measures the distance between objects by illuminating them and measuring the time it takes for light to travel from those objects to the sensor. Terrestrial LIDAR can be used for mapping, monitoring, and other applications. It uses laser lights or long-range radar to measure distances of up to 100 meters with high accuracy even in poor visibility conditions like fog or darkness.
Application Insights:
The corridor mapping application is projected to grow at a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period owing to the increasing use of LIDAR for airport planning and designing, railway track inspection, road identification, and bridge assessment. The topographical surveys application segment accounted for a significant market share in 2017 owing to the extensive use of LIDAR in geomatics activities such as land surveying, 3D modeling & scanning for construction monitoring and site evaluation.
LIDAR has numerous applications across civil engineering including slope detection & analysis (hydrology), ground proximity warning systems (GPS), digital terrain models (DTMs), digital surface models (DSMs), structure-borne radar reflectors studies etc. It is used extensively in government applications including cadastral surveying, property tax assessment & calculation revision updates/updates along with other tasks such as infrastructure development planning and environmental monitoring associated with it.
Regional Analysis:
The market in North America is anticipated to grow at a significant rate over the forecast period owing to increasing demand for LiDAR systems from the automotive, military and aerospace industry. The presence of prominent players such as Boeing, Lockheed Martin Corporation; General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc.; and Raytheon Technologies Corporation is also expected to drive regional growth over the next eight years.
In Europe, light detection and ranging technology has been used extensively in civil engineering projects such as road construction and topographical surveys for land use planning. Moreover high-end gaming laptops are equipped with advanced light detection sensors that allow gamers see things that would otherwise be invisible to mortal eyes thus leading towards increased adoption of LIDAR systems in this region.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be one of the fastest growing regions owing its emerging economies such as China.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for 3D mapping and surveying services from various end-use industries such as construction, automotive, and aerospace is expected to drive the growth of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) market over the forecast period.
- Growing popularity of autonomous cars is also anticipated to boost the demand for LiDAR systems as they are used for obstacle detection and collision avoidance purposes.
- Proliferation of drones is also expected to create new opportunities for LiDAR market players as these systems are used in navigation and mapping applications.
- Rising investments in research & development activities by leading players in order to develop innovative products is likely to propel the growth of this market over the next few years.
- . The increasing adoption of LiDAR technology across various industrial sectors on account of its superior performance characteristics is projected to fuel market growth during the forecast period
