LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) refers to an advanced remote sensing method used to measure the distance of an object on the surface of the earth. A LiDAR system mainly consists of a laser, scanner, and specialized GPS receiver. It works by targeting an object with a pulsed laser and calculating the time taken for the reflected light to return to the receiver. These light pulses, along with other data recorded by the system, generate accurate, three-dimensional (3D) information about the earth’s shape and surface characteristics. As a result, LiDAR systems are rapidly gaining traction over conventional methods for examining, detecting, and mapping of objects due to their high precision, low cost, and enhanced features. LiDAR Market Trends:
The increasing applications of LiDAR across various end use sectors represent the primary factors driving the market growth. For instance, LiDAR systems are extensively used in the aerospace and defense sectors for tracking low flying aircraft as they can accurately measure the dimension and distance of the target and perform efficiently in all weather conditions. Besides this, in the agriculture industry, LiDAR systems are widely utilized for automated tractor steering solutions and surveying fields with drones. Additionally, governments of numerous countries are adopting LiDAR technology for mapping, surveillance, topographical surveys, and monitoring in the oil and gas and mining sectors. This, in confluence with the recent advancements in LiDAR mapping systems and their enabling technologies, is propelling the market growth. Furthermore, the rising integration of LiDAR-based sensors in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and self-driving vehicles is catalyzing the product demand. Other factors, including the emergence of 4D LiDAR, growing product usage in engineering and construction sectors, technological advancements, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and favorable government policies, are also creating a positive market outlook.
