According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “LiDAR Market Report by Installation Type (Airborne, Terrestrial), Component (Laser Scanners, Navigation Systems, Global Positioning Systems, and Others), Application (Corridor Mapping, Engineering, Environment, Exploration, ADAS, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global LiDAR market size reached USD 3.1 Billion in 2024. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is a remote sensing technology that measures distances by emitting laser pulses and analyzing the light that is reflected. It measures the time taken by the light to travel to an object and back to the sensor. It is often equipped with a rotating mirror or a multi-beam laser scanner, which allows emission of laser pulses in multiple directions.
Global LiDAR Market Trends:
There is a considerable rise in the use of LiDAR in autonomous vehicles (AVs) by providing real-time 3D mapping and object detection capabilities and perceiving their surroundings, detecting obstacles, and navigating safely. This, coupled with increasing sales of AVs and significant growth in the automotive industry, represents one of the key factors augmenting the market growth around the world. Moreover, the rising adoption of LiDAR in forestry management to assess forest inventory, measure tree heights, estimate biomass, and monitor vegetation health is favoring the growth of the market. In addition, the growing usage of LiDAR in geology and natural resource exploration to study landforms, geological features, and mineral deposits is influencing the market positively. Apart from this, the increasing construction of roads, bridges, and tunnels on account of rapid urbanization and rising investments in the development of smart cities are propelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing adoption of LiDAR technology in the defense and aerospace sectors to improve the accuracy and sensitivity of remote sensing and surveillance systems is creating a favorable outlook for the market. Looking forward, the market value is projected to reach USD 13.3 Billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 17.66% during 2025-2033.
