LiDAR Market TOC
LiDAR Market size was over USD 2.77 billion in 2024 and is projected to cross USD 48.68 billion by the end of 2037, witnessing more than 24.4% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of LiDAR is estimated at USD 3.32 billion.
The growth is set to be encouraged by the technological advancement in LiDAR. Quantum-Systems and YellowScan jointly announced the launch of a geomatics grade LiDAR scanner integrated into the payload chamber of the drone, with accompanying software. Hence, this rising development of LiDAR has increased the scope for the product thus boosting the market growth.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the LiDAR market expansion is the increasing development of smart cities. LiDAR technology generates precise, superior-resolution 3D mapping data, which is useful for building utility infrastructure and metropolitan environments.
For instance, Siemensstadt has initiated a project for smart city development, and provided the largest ever fund of USD 600 million for transforming industrial areas into urban and modern districts.

Product (Airborne LiDAR, Ground-Based LiDAR, UAV LiDAR, Solid State LiDAR)
The airborne LiDAR market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 24.4%. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising occurrence of unexpected natural calamities, such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, and others. Airborne LiDAR is crucial for creating precise floodplain maps, that enable better planning for the emergency response. In 2021, over 432 catastrophic occurrences were documented, which is significantly more than the typical number of 357 yearly catastrophic events from 2001 to 2020.
Apart from this, the use of airborne LiDAR is also growing for urban planning, as airborne LIDAR may offer important information for urban planning, including land use, and zoning. Their use is also surging for evaluating the effect of infrastructure development on natural resources and ecosystems, detecting leaks in underground utilities, and more
Application (Corridor Mapping, Engineering, Environment, ADA & Unmanned Vehicles, Exploration, Urban Planning, Maps Production, Meteorology)
The corridor mapping segment in the LiDAR market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 24.1% till 2037. LiDAR enables the monitoring of structural integrity, and vegetation clearances of utility infrastructures, including telecommunication cables, power lines, gas pipelines, and others.
The growth of the segment is predicted to be encouraged by the rise in the installation of new pipelines for oil and gas transmission and its rapid development. In the world, currently, many projects are in development or being proposed for the expansion of oil and gas pipelines, the combined length of pipelines is around 131,760 miles.

North American Market Forecast
The LiDAR market in North America is poised to dominate 43% revenue share by 2037, and the region is to grow at a CAGR of 24.3%. The growth of the market can be dominated majorly by the rising demand for platoon operations in the region.
Based on US Department of Transportation data, the total states that have permitted commercial truck platooning account for 51% of freight miles within the country. The rising demand for automated vehicles, with features, such as ADAS radar systems and AEB is also expected to augment the market growth in the region.
European Market Statistics
The Europe LiDAR market is estimated to be the second largest till 2037, by growing at a CAGR of 24.8%. This can be attributed majorly to the rising usage of LiDAR by the government to enable the study and analysis of historic landscapes. The government of the United Kingdom has been collecting LiDAR data for over 17 years and making it accessible to the public. According to a government official, the data will be leveraged by archaeologists who are interested in investigating historic infrastructures.
