Global LiDAR Technology Market Set to Skyrocket to $7 Billion by 2028, Driven by Increasing Demand for 3D Imaging Across Industries

DUBLIN, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR): Technologies and Global Markets" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. 

The worldwide market for Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology is on an exponential growth trajectory, poised to reach $7 billion by the end of 2028, up from $3.2 billion in 2023, at an impressive Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.5% during the forecast period of 2023-2028.

LiDAR technology has emerged as a crucial tool in accommodating the expansion of global engineering and civil construction activities, especially in developing nations grappling with growing populations. From surveying and mapping to project feasibility studies, advanced LiDAR technology plays a pivotal role in enhancing accuracy and efficiency in various stages of construction projects.

The airborne segment of the global LiDAR market is forecasted to grow from $1.5 billion in 2023 to $3.2 billion by the end of 2028, boasting a CAGR of 15.9% during the forecast period. Meanwhile, the mobile and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) segment is expected to surge from $539.3 million in 2023 to $1.2 billion by 2028, at a robust CAGR of 17.7%.

Key drivers propelling this growth include increasing demand for 3D imagery in sectors such as military and defense, civil engineering, topographical surveys, and corridor mapping. Textured 3D imagery is particularly valuable in city planning, 3D mapping, and corridor mapping. Additionally, the installation of advanced safety features in automobiles is contributing to market expansion. Notably, automotive giants are investing in LiDAR startups, and the adoption of various LiDAR technologies, including solid-state, flash LiDAR, and micro-electronical mechanical system (MEMS) LiDAR, is creating new market opportunities.

LiDAR's growing utilization in geographical information system (GIS) applications and engineering and construction is further bolstering global market growth. However, challenges such as safety risks associated with UAVs and autonomous vehicles and the availability of low-cost and lightweight photogrammetry systems are restraining market growth.

The comprehensive report, titled "Global LiDAR Technology Market Report 2023-2028," provides detailed insights into market dynamics, including segmentation by component, product type, technology, range, application, and region.

The report highlights that the airborne segment currently holds the largest market share, valued at $1.4 billion in 2022 and projected to reach $3.2 billion by 2028. Meanwhile, the mobile and UAV segment is expected to experience the highest growth rate, with a CAGR of 17.7%, reaching $1.2 billion by the end of 2028, up from $489.7 million in 2022.

Furthermore, the post-COVID-19 era is expected to see continued LiDAR technology demand due to safety distance measures. Remote work has become the new normal, with 3D LiDAR systems repurposed for product tracking, security, and remote monitoring of employees. LiDAR, along with video and thermal monitoring systems, is used for temperature sensing, enhancing productivity while reducing the risk of viral transmission.
