Increasing Demand for Autonomous Vehicles to Drive Market Growth
The demand for autonomous vehicles (AVs), equipped with advanced sensors to detect their surroundings and navigate the road environment automatically, drives market growth. As safety becomes a primary concern in the development of driverless cars, the demand for LiDAR sensor technology, which provides precise and reliable detection, grows steadily. In addition to cameras, radar, and other sensors, LiDAR is utilized to generate a real-time 360-degree image of an AV's surroundings. LiDAR sensors provide real-time information allowing AVs to make vehicle maneuver decisions and navigate safely in a variety of driving scenarios, including complicated urban environments and tough weather. Furthermore, major companies are launching new advanced LiDARs to tap into the growing demand for autonomous vehicles.
For instance, in September 2024, Hesai Technology Co., Ltd. launched its new LiDAR solution, OT128, at the IAA Transportation trade fair in Hannover, Germany. The 360° long-range LiDAR offers exceptional sensing performance and certified automotive-grade reliability. It can detect objects near and far, providing excellent surface detection, even for objects that cameras struggle to identify, such as black cars. The OT128 has the potential to drive innovation in the commercial automotive sector, enabling scalable commercial deployment of self-driving trucks, autonomous shuttles, last-mile delivery vehicles, and industrial automation.
Environmental Monitoring to Drive Market Demand
LiDAR technology allows precise and detailed mapping of environmental elements such as terrain, land cover, vegetation, and water bodies. This level of precision enables more precise assessments of ecological systems, which helps with conservation, land management, and natural resource monitoring. LiDAR is useful for assessing flood risk as it provides high-resolution elevation data. This information is used to model floodplains, identify risk areas, and help design flood management methods, thereby improving disaster response. LiDAR technology is used to monitor and manage natural resources such as soil erosion, water, and coastal areas. It offers critical data for sustainable resource management, helps to understand the influence of human activities on environmental resources, and promotes responsible natural resource use. Manufacturers are increasingly launching products related to environmental monitoring to improve crop yields and resource management by optimizing irrigation and pesticide consumption.
For instance, in April 2024, University of Science and Technology of China researchers developed a single-photon airborne LiDAR system for high-definition 3D images. This system uses a highly sensitive detector to register individual photons reflected off surfaces, enhancing the accuracy and resolution of 3D maps. Additionally, the system uses a low-powered laser and a small optical aperture while maintaining good detection range and imaging resolution, making it ideal to be deployed on drones or satellites to monitor forest landscape changes or generate 3D terrain maps in earthquake-affected areas.
Growing Urban Population and Infrastructure Development
LiDAR technology is crucial for smart city planning, development, and management. There is an increasing demand for the development of efficient transportation networks and traffic management solutions. LiDAR technology is used to collect data on road networks, traffic patterns, and pedestrian flows, allowing transportation planners to optimize traffic signals, construct safer crossings, and plan public transportation routes more effectively. Also, the growing urban population necessitates increased infrastructure construction, including roads, buildings, and utilities. LiDAR technology is a critical component of urban planning and development since it enables 3D mapping and modeling of urban areas.
For instance, in May 2024, LiDAR technology company Seyond, Inc., partnered with Peachtree Corners, a 5G smart city in Georgia, the United States, and Curiosity Lab to deploy and validate its LiDAR solutions in real-world environments. The LiDAR system, designed for automotive-grade hardware, can map large environments and detect vehicles and pedestrians. The system is deployed within Curiosity Lab's smart city ecosystem and at a select intersection in Peachtree Corners. The combined technologies collect real-world data to implement traffic and VRU signal solutions, making intersections safer and more efficient. The city can use the data collected to adjust traffic signals, pedestrian crossing signals, and intersection design, addressing specific safety and efficiency needs.
Corridor Mapping Segment to Dominate the Market Share
The global LiDAR market is dominated by the corridor mapping application segment during the forecast period. Corridor mapping is the detailed survey and mapping of linear features such as roads, highways, railways, pipelines, and power lines. These infrastructure projects require precise and reliable design, construction, and upkeep data. LiDAR technology has major advantages in corridor mapping since it produces high-resolution 3D data rapidly and effectively, especially in difficult terrain or highly vegetated areas. Engineers, urban planners, and government agencies can use this data to assess existing infrastructure issues, design new developments, and successfully optimize transportation networks, further increasing LiDAR market growth.
For instance, in March 2024, Leica Geosystems AG introduced the Leica TerrainMapper-3 airborne LiDAR sensor, offering three scan patterns for improved productivity and customization. These patterns include circles for 3D modeling of urban areas or steep terrains, ellipses for data capture for traditional mapping, and skew ellipses for improved point density for infrastructures and corridor mapping.
Solid-state LiDAR to Represent Highest Growth in the Global LiDAR Market
The solid-state LiDAR technology type will dominate the market over the forecast period. Unlike mechanical LiDAR, which includes hefty rotating components, solid-state LiDAR has no moving parts. This leads to a smaller, lighter, and more streamlined design. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly in closed quarters, due to its small size. For example, the smaller size of solid-state LiDAR allows car manufacturers to integrate it seamlessly into a variety of vehicle models, promoting its adoption in the automotive industry. Furthermore, the absence of moving parts in solid-state LiDAR eliminates the wear and tear associated with mechanical LiDAR's rotating mechanics. This reduces the possibility of failures and malfunctions, resulting in a more durable and reliable sensor. Solid-state LiDAR technology is quickly developing. The goal of research and development is to improve the range, resolution, and speed of data collection. This ongoing research raises optimism for solid-state LiDAR's ability to deliver the performance needed for a wide range of demanding applications such as drones and precision agriculture.
For instance, in May 2024, Lumotive and Hokuyo Automatic Co., Ltd., announced the commercial release of the YLM-10LX 3D LiDAR sensor, powered by Lumotive's Light Control Metasurface (LCM) optical beamforming technology. This groundbreaking product transforms 3D sensing in industrial automation and service robotics applications by eliminating the need for bulky, expensive, and fragile mechanical moving parts found in traditional LiDAR systems. The LCM chips enable unparalleled stability and accuracy in 3D object recognition and distance measurement, handling multi-path interference.
