LiDAR Market Estimated to Experience a Hike in Growth By 2031

Allied Market Research, titled, “ LiDAR Market by Type, Component, Application, End User, and Region: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2022–2031," The lidar market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $7.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 21.3% from 2022 to 2031. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create 3D models of the environment. LiDAR works by emitting a laser pulse towards a target and measuring the time it takes for the pulse to reflect the sensor. This process is repeated many times per second, creating a 3D point cloud of the target area. Increase in demand for 3D imaging systems and automated systems required in LiDAR as well as a surge in the use of aerial sensing applications act as the key driving forces of the global LiDAR market. However, some of the limitations of the LiDAR system include its higher cost when compared to RADAR systems ...
