简介目录

预计全球光达市场在 2024 年至 2028 年的预测期内将强劲成长。市场成长的主要驱动力是光达技术相对于传统竞争对手技术的优势。该行业正变得更加分散,诸如连续传输讯号的 4D 雷达等新创新正在推动市场扩张。

根据雷射雷达市场研究,光探测和测距 (LiDAR) 技术的发展使得检查、寻找和绘製物品变得比以往更加简单。这种方法比传统测量技术更受欢迎,因为它可以更快地提供 4D 图片和高度准确的资料。推动全球光达市场成长的主要原因是光达系统在影像解析度和资料处理能力方面优于其他技术的自动化处理能力。

市场概况
预测期 2024-2028
2022 年市场规模 48亿美元
2028 年市场规模 164.6亿美元
2023-2028 年复合年增长率 22.9%
成长最快的细分市场 雷射
最大的市场 北美洲

人们对 4D 成像的兴趣增加

在预测期内,由于军事和国防、地形测量、土木工程和走廊测绘等领域对 4D 影像的需求增加,预计该市场将会成长。 4D 测绘、城市规划和走廊测绘等应用使用纹理 4D 成像。安装尖端安全措施的规模正在大幅扩大。此外,自动驾驶汽车已获得在美国等国家的公共道路上使用的官方批准。这些汽车包括用于 GPS 和导航目的的 LiDAR 整合。

廉价且轻巧的摄影测量技术的便利性限制了产业的扩张

光达产业的扩张预计将受到用于测绘和测量的便携式、经济实惠的摄影测量技术的使用的限制。光达无人机采用主动感测器来识别地面上的物体,然后发射雷射光束来测量它们与地面目标的距离。摄影测量系统利用 3D 和 4D 立体模型传输的影像来提供物体位于地表以下的外观,从而允许使用者观察和计算 3D 物体的距离。但光达无人机比摄影测量设备更昂贵。它们的成本低廉是由于使用具有单一相机的无人机来携带摄影测量设备。如此一来,光达无人机整体的价格就被这种重型机械拉高了。因此,光达产业的发展受到廉价且轻巧的摄影测量仪器的容易获得的限制。

有限的地理空间资料可用性和高昂的光达服务成本

光达测量比使用更传统的测量技术成本更高。当包括所有高阶装备、感测器、扫描器等时,LiDAR 系统的成本通常约为 75,000 美元。处理软体应该是免费的,但后製软体(例如点云分类)可能需要第三方软体,单一许可证的费用可能在 20,000 美元到 30,000 美元之间。

Global LiDAR Market is anticipated to grow at a robust pace in the forecast period, 2024-2028. The primary driving force behind market growth is the advantages of LiDAR technology over traditional rival technologies. The industry is becoming more fragmented, and new innovations like 4D radars that transmit signals continuously are promoting market expansion.

According to a LiDAR market study, the development of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology made it simpler than ever to examine, find, and map items. This approach is preferred over traditional surveying techniques because it can provide 4D pictures and highly accurate data more quickly. The primary reason propelling the growth of the Global LiDAR Market is improved automated processing ability of LiDAR systems in terms of picture resolution and data processing capabilities over other technologies.

Increased usage of aerial LiDAR systems to explore and discover locations and historic information, as well as rising demand for 4D imaging technology across a variety of application domains, are other drivers supporting the market's expansion. The inclusion of expensive parts like a laser scanner, navigation system, and high-resolution 4D cameras together drives up the price of LiDAR systems despite the fact that less people are aware of their advantages. These issues restrict the use of LiDAR systems, which in turn limits the trends in the global LiDAR industry.

Forecast Period2024-2028
Market Size 2022USD 4.8 Billion
Market Size 2028USD 16.46 Billion
CAGR 2023-202822.9%
Fastest Growing SegmentLASER
Largest MarketNorth America

The Increase in interest in 4D imaging

Over the course of the forecast period, the market is anticipated to rise as a result of the increased demand for 4D images in sectors such as military & defense, topographical surveys, civil engineering, and corridor mapping. Applications like 4D mapping, city planning, and corridor mapping use textured 4D imaging. Installing cutting-edge safety measures is expanding tremendously. Additionally, self-driving cars have received official approval for use on public roads in nations like the U.S. These automobiles include LiDAR integration for GPS and navigational purposes.

The easy accessibility of inexpensive and lightweight photogrammetry technologies is limiting industry expansion

The expansion of the LiDAR sector is expected to be constrained by the use of portable, affordable photogrammetry technology for mapping and surveying. LiDAR drones employ active sensors to recognize things on the ground and then fire laser beams to measure their distance from the ground targets. While photogrammetry systems employ images broadcast from 3D and 4D carto metric models to provide the appearance that things are below the ground's surface, allowing users to observe and compute the distance of objects in 3D. But LiDAR drones are more expensive than photogrammetry equipment. Their cheap cost is a result of the employment of drones with a single camera for carrying photogrammetry equipment. As a result, the price of LiDAR drones as a whole is raised by this heavy machinery. Therefore, the proliferation of the LiDAR industry is constrained by the easy availability of inexpensive and lightweight photogrammetry instruments.

Limited geospatial data availability and high LiDAR service costs

LiDAR surveying is more costly than using more conventional surveying techniques. A LiDAR system will generally cost around USD 75,000 when all the high-end gear, sensors, scanners, etc. are included. The processing software should be free, but post-processing software, such point-cloud categorization, may need third-party software, which might cost between USD 20,000 and USD 30 000 for a single license.
