LiDAR market for laser scanners is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2022

The laser scanner is a major component contributing to the growth of this market. The market for laser scanners is increasing at good pace owing to the technological advancement in laser technology. Moreover, the market for laser scanners is also growing due to a rising demand for ground-based LiDAR.

Market for solid-state LiDAR is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2022

The market for solid-state LiDAR is expected to exhibit the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Solid-state LiDAR systems use laser scanners to generate a 3D image of the environment, and this 3D image is processed automatically to perform monitoring, warning, braking, and steering tasks. The growth in the market for solid-state LiDAR can be attributed the advancement in the automotive industry, especially aimed at the driverless cars and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) application. Solid-state LiDAR can be used in various automotive applications such as in ADAS, autonomous cars, and so on. The inclination toward self-driven cars and few mandates for ADAS application is promoting the growth of the market.

LiDAR market for GIS services is expected to show substantial growth during forecast period

The market for GIS services is witnessing a substantial growth opportunity owing to increasing demand for GIS services in canopy height estimation, forest planning, and harvesting planning applications. These applications are majorly adopted by the government for the forest management and for planning crops. Increasing interest of the governments is expected to encourage the overall LiDAR market.

North America held the largest share of the LiDAR market

North America dominates the LiDAR market owing to the increasing investment of business giants toward ADAS and driverless cars, providing new opportunities for small, versatile, and low-cost LiDAR systems. General Motors (U.S.), Google (U.S.), and Apple Inc. (U.S.) are the business giants which are in the race of manufacturing these cars. In addition, the major companies such as Trimble, Faro, and Velodyne are based in the U.S., which is also a key factor contributing to a large share of the U.S. in the market.
