Report Description
The global wind light detection and ranging (LiDAR) market size was USD XX Mn in 2022 and is expected to reach USD XX Mn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of XX% during 2023–2031. Increasing investments in LiDAR startups by various enterprises is anticipated to boost the market during the forecast period.
A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system is employed to measure the speed of wind at high elevations. Wind LiDAR systems shoot laser beams into the sky. Laser beams hit aerosols and particles in the air and reflect back. This process aids in the measurement of height as the process requires a certain time period. These height measurements are used in the feedforward control system. LiDAR-based control systems react to wind turbulence and gusts.
LiDAR is installed on top of a standalone floating structure similar to a buoy to collect wind data. This helps to gain reliable insights vital to construct an offshore wind farm. Wind farm operators measure the wind in front of running turbines with the help of several laser beams and measuring devices. ESA research launched the satellite Aeolus which uses LiDAR technology. It carries an instrument called Doppler wind LiDAR that produces wind profiles by measuring wind sweep around our planet.
The research report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic hindered several prominent industries and adversely affected the lifestyle of individuals. Government implemented social distancing to curb the outbreak of COVID-19. New strains of coronavirus found to be more infectious and fatal than the earlier ones. These emerging strains are anticipated to fuel investments in diagnostics kits and their procurement. Additionally, LiDAR startups witness substantial investments by OEMs and automotive giants, due to the rising demand for LiDAR from the global automotive industry.
