Market Highlights

The UAV LiDAR Market is accounted to register a CAGR of 24.1% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 132 Million by 2030.

The UAV LiDAR (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Light Detection and Ranging) market refers to the segment of the remote sensing and geospatial technology industry that involves the use of LiDAR sensors mounted on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones. LiDAR technology uses laser pulses to measure distances and create detailed three-dimensional representations of the Earth's surface and objects. When integrated with UAVs, LiDAR systems allow for efficient and accurate data collection from the air.

The UAV LiDAR market includes a range of stakeholders, including UAV manufacturers, LiDAR sensor manufacturers, software developers specializing in data processing and analysis, service providers offering UAV LiDAR surveying services, and end-users from different industries who benefit from the insights derived from the collected data.

Segment Analysis

The UAV LiDAR Market has been segmented based on type, component and application.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into rotary-wing UAV LiDAR and fixed-wing UAV LiDAR. The largest market share in the global market is held by the rotary-wing UAV LiDAR segment as these are less expensive and small in size.

Based on component, the market has been segmented into navigation and positioning systems and laser scanners. Owing to the presence of special features like displaying high-resolution images, the largest market share is held by the laser scanner segment.

Based on application, the market has been segmented into commercial and military. One of the primary commercial applications of UAV LiDAR is in mapping and surveying. LiDAR-equipped drones are used to create highly accurate and detailed topographic maps, elevation models, and 3D terrain models.
