Report overview
Segments covered: vehicle type, imaging, ranging method, application, autonomy, type, ranging. Regions: Asia-Pacific, Europe.
The growth of this market is attributed to the declining prices of sensors, the rising demand for advanced driver assistance systems, and the increasing government regulations to ensure the quality and safety of vehicles. In addition, the rising demand for electric vehicles, the development of autonomous vehicles, the emergence of 4D LiDAR, and increasing investments by OEMs in LiDAR start-ups are expected to offer significant opportunities for the growth of this market.
However, the low adoption of LiDAR in economy-class vehicles hampers the growth of this market. In addition, the limitations of LiDAR, such as lack of visibility in bad weather conditions, are a major challenge to the growth of this market.

Development in Autonomous Vehicles
Advancements in LiDAR technology have led to innovations such as autonomous vehicles. Technological advancements have made autonomous vehicles a real-world possibility, with many automotive manufacturers heavily investing in developing such vehicles due to the increasing demand. Autonomous vehicles are completely driven by sensors and electronics, ensuring a complete driverless experience. LiDAR sensors are crucial in such vehicles as they are major components of essential systems such as blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assistance, lane-departure warning, and collision warning to prevent accidents.
According to the World Health Organization, more than 90% of road traffic deaths occur due to human error, overspeeding, driving under the influence of alcohol or other psychoactive substances, and not using motorcycle helmets, seat belts, and child restraints, among many other reasons. To address these issues, many OEMs are integrating LiDAR sensors into autonomous vehicles, enabling them to detect objects and provide emergency braking assistance alongside many other features. For instance, in January 2022, German automotive giant Mercedes-Benz Group AG acquired a stake in LiDAR manufacturing company Luminar Technologies, Inc. (U.S.). The acquisition will enable Mercedes to produce vehicles with autonomous driving capabilities. Such developments are expected to offer growth opportunities for companies operating in this market.
