The global lidar market size was valued at USD 1.1 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 2.90 billion by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 20.1% during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to growing adoption of lidar system in engineering and construction application, geographical information system, its easy regulation, and in various industries for different purpose.
Light detection and ranging (LIDAR) is a remote sensing method which uses light in form of laser to measure variable distances or ranges to the Earth. It is used to make high-resolution maps which are applied in archeology, geology, forestry, laser guidance, surveying, geodesy, geography, seismology, atmospheric physics, geomatics, and laser altimetry. It enables the detection, examination, and mapping of the objects easier.
The demand for 3D imagery is increasing which are used in corridor mapping, 3D mapping, and city planning. Various manufacturers’ as-well-as end-users have been impacted due to covid-19. Lidar market of exploration which include oil & gas and mining is mainly impacted due to lockdown imposed across the globe and impacted the economies of the countries.

The ground-based lidar segment is projected to account for a large market share
Based on products, the global lidar market is bifurcated into ground-based lidar and aerial lidar. The ground-based lidar segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to low cost and they are mostly placed on moving platforms including vehicles is rising the demand from automotive sector. Scanning of outcrop consisting of near vertical cliffs and hillsides, ground-based lidar is used.
The laser scanner segment is projected to hold a key market share
On the basis of components, the global lidar market is segmented into laser scanner, global positioning system, inertial measurement unit, and other components. The laser scanner segment is expected to constitute a key share of the market in the coming years due to reducing cost of laser technology and high usage of laser scanning in mapping and object, localization, and environment modeling.
The advanced driver assistance systems segment is projected to constitute a major market share
In terms of applications, the global lidar market is segregated into exploration, corridor mapping, advanced driver assistance systems, and other applications. The advanced driver assistance systems segment is expected to register a CAGR of 18.4% in the market during the forecast period owing to surging incorporation of sensors in various automotive safety applications. It uses radar and camera to sense the environment and avoid the chances of accidents. However, the corridor mapping segment is anticipated to expand at a moderate pace during the forecast period.
The aerospace & defense segment is estimated to expand at a rapid pace
Based on end-users, the global lidar market is bifurcated into automotive, aerospace and defense, engineering, transportation, and industrial. The aerospace and defense industry lidar is used to track low flying aircraft, dimensions and distance of target, and weather condition. Lidar is used for surveying fields with drones and automatic tractor steering solutions in the agriculture industry.
North America is anticipated to dominate the market
On the basis of regions, the global lidar market is categorized as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. The market of North America is anticipated to expand at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to mandating the installation of automotive safety technologies and adopting administrative regulations. High usage of lidar in various applications including corridor mapping, urban planning, environment, meteorology, and advanced driver assistance systems and driverless cars is expected to fuel the market.
However, the market of Asia Pacific is expected to exhibit a rapid growth rate in the coming years owing to increasing investment by the market players.
