LiDAR Services Market Size Worth $2.6 Billion By 2025

The global LiDAR services market size is expected to reach USD 2.6 billion by 2025, registering a CAGR of 14.5% from 2019 to 2025, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. LiDAR services find prominent applications in the automotive industry. Further, favorable government policies regarding self-driven vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are fueling market growth.

The use of LiDAR services in autonomous vehicles is one of the major factors driving the market. Furthermore, increasing automobile production across developed and developing economies, along with the growing demand for technologically advanced electronic safety systems in vehicles, are the major factors positively impacting market growth. The implementation of stringent carbon emission norms are driving demand for next-generation technologies, such as advanced driving systems. This, in turn, is likely to drive demand for LiDAR services over the forecast period. Further, LiDAR sensors are also used for security, surveillance, and logistics in industrial automation. The extensive use of sensors in the automotive and industrial automation industry is anticipated to positively influence the market over the forecast period.

The market is anticipated to be driven by growing 3D imaging technology. The growing use of 3D imaging enabled devices, such as the robotic vision system, medical imaging device, and the 3D X-ray imaging device, are expected to boost the growth of the market. Besides, the implementation of LiDAR services in 3D imaging is expected to boost its demand in the healthcare industry.

North America held largest market share in 2018, followed by Asia Pacific and Europe. The Asia Pacific regional market is expected to witness robust growth over the forecast period, owing to the increasing awareness regarding the benefits of the techonology in the automotive and industrial automation industry. Moreover, the rise in demand can be attributed to the growth in adoption of ADAS in autonomous cars in China, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore.

Synthetic Aperture Radar Market Worth $4.98 Billion By 2027

The global synthetic aperture radar market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.98 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2020 to 2027, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) uses a remote sensing technique that generates high-resolution images and can be used for earth observation and surveillance operations. The synthetic aperture of SAR operates at various frequencies and modes, which enable it to take pictures through cloud covers, inclement weathers, and during the day and night. Synthetic aperture radar is compact and light in weight compared to the conventional radars, which is expected to increase the adoption of these devices for space satellite missions and thereby drive the market.

Over the years, SAR has been widely used for military operations, whereas it has also gained prominence in the commercial sector recently. The advanced synthetic aperture technology makes it possible to detect and capture natural disasters, infrastructure damages, archeological artifacts, snow mapping, biomass and vegetation, and oil spillages in oceans, among others. The growing need for tracking and detecting movement, mapping troops, and gathering intelligence data is expected to increase the adoption of these systems in the military operations. Furthermore, synthetic aperture radars can be integrated with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV’s) and rising usage of UAV for tactical and surveillance purposes is expected to bolster the demand for SAR systems in the market.

The data retrieved from synthetic aperture radar involves using several pre-processing steps and requires a separate software from the service provider to process the data. It may include steps like de-bursting, radiometric calibration, terrain correction, applying the orbit file, and speckle filtering depending on the type of analysis. This tedious process to work with the SAR data is expected to limit market growth. However, the processed images and retrieved data provide a detailed and clear picture of the mapped objects, which is anticipated to drive the market over the forecast period.

Further key findings from the report suggest:

  • The growing need for public safety, natural resource exploration, and environmental monitoring has propelled investment from government and independent organizations in the synthetic aperture radar systems industry, thus driving the commercial application segment
  • Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at the highest CAGR of 14.1% over the forecast period owing to an increase in spending on military missions. The Asia Pacific region is expected to launch satellites in the future, thereby resulting in market growth. For example, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) have projected the launch of a dual-frequency synthetic aperture radar NISAR in 2022
  • Key market players operating in the market are focused on forming partnerships with government and other organizations to accommodate important projects and gain competitive advantage. For instance, in June 2019, ICEYE and Asia Pacific Satellite, Inc. entered a strategic alliance to extend ICEYE’s SAR data purchase in South Korea.
