Report Summary
The global LiDAR Drone market size was valued at USD 58.3 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 31.7% during the forecast period. LiDAR drones are increasingly being used for efficient mapping owing to the use of rapid laser pulses for remote sensing. They send out multidirectional laser pulses using oscillating mirrors to map ground points and terrain through analysis of returning pulses. Diverse applications are experiencing an increased demand for high resolution digital surfaces, terrain and elevation models, driving the growth of the market.
Automation of LiDAR drones requires processing systems involving combination of scientific algorithm computation and cloud-based processing of captured data points for sophisticated analysis. The algorithms make them more accurate and efficient in detecting the target objects. The demand of 3D imaging is witnessing rise in consumer, commercial and government applications. LiDAR drones are being adopted in numerous government applications such as planning and monitoring activities related to roadways, railways, cities, and forest management among others The LiDAR captured images are also in demand for corridor mapping in mega infrastructural projects such as airports, railway routes, highways, and water bodies. Application of these drones in smart appliances for sensing purposes would increase the market for short range LiDAR drones.
