The automotive LiDAR market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.81 billion in 2024 to $1.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to safety and autonomous driving, regulatory and safety standards, rise in electric and connected vehicles, competition and industry investments, cost reduction and scalability, mapping and infrastructure development.
The automotive LiDAR market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous vehicle development, market competition and investments, increasing consumer awareness and demand, electric and connected vehicle growth, infrastructure development and smart cities. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in solid-state lidar, integration in ADAS and autonomous vehicles, multi-sensor fusion, mass production and cost reduction, enhanced perception capabilities.
The robust demand for semi-autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles is playing a significant role in propelling the growth of the automotive LiDAR market. Autonomous vehicles, equipped with environmental sensing capabilities and the ability to operate without human intervention, rely on LiDAR sensors to create comprehensive 3D maps for 360-degree vision. These maps provide accurate data crucial for self-navigation and object detection, essential elements in the functioning of self-driving cars. As indicated by a report from Gerber Injury Law in June 2021, the self-driving vehicle industry is anticipated to witness an annual growth rate of 16%, projecting a trillion-dollar valuation by 2025. This increasing demand for autonomous driving technology is a key driver fueling the growth of the automotive LiDAR market.
The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to contribute significantly to the expansion of the automotive LiDAR market. Electric vehicles, powered either partially or entirely by electricity, benefit from LiDAR technology in enhancing energy efficiency. LiDAR provides precise environmental data that aids in optimizing driving routes, managing energy consumption, and overall efficiency improvement. According to CleanTechnica in the first half of 2023, over 670,000 EVs were sold, with over 80% being fully-electric battery electric vehicles (BEVs). This increasing adoption of electric vehicles plays a pivotal role in driving the growth of the automotive LiDAR market.
Technological advancements emerge as a key trend in the automotive LiDAR market, with major companies focusing on integrating innovative technologies to enhance LiDAR system functionality, particularly in autonomous vehicles. In November 2022, RoboSense, a China-based intelligent LiDAR technology company, introduced the RS-LiDAR-E1, a flash solid-state LiDAR based on independently created chips and a new technological platform. This LiDAR system utilizes area array transceiver technology with application-specific designed chips, eliminating moving components. The RS-LiDAR-E1 is designed for factory installation and mass manufacturing, working to close the perception gap for smart driving and enhance the capability of automated and autonomous cars to perceive their surroundings in all scenarios.
Major players in the automotive LiDAR market are actively concentrating on innovative product solutions, particularly the development of 360º LiDAR technology, to offer reliable services to customers. Also known as full-surround LiDAR, this remote sensing technology utilizes lasers to measure distances and generate a 3D map of the surrounding environment. As an illustration of this trend, Innoviz Technologies, an Israel-based leader in LiDAR technology, introduced Innoviz360 in January 2022. Innoviz360 represents a new HD (high definition) LiDAR category, delivering 10 times the performance at a significantly lower cost compared to traditional 360º LiDARs.
