The global automotiveLIDAR sensors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% from 2017 to 2023(forecast period). The research report covers the COVID-19 analysis of the
global automotive LIDAR sensors market and offers a detailed and comprehensive
summary of market segments, emerging developments, growth projections, and
industry challenges to identify investment opportunities.
The LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) systemis used to determine the time at which the pulse laser reaches a certain
distance in a specific medium. In general, the automotive industry uses laser
pulses with a length of 3-20 nanoseconds. The LIDAR sensors in the automotive
sector are capable of detecting objects within a range of 300 meters.
Market Dynamics
The global automotive market for LIDAR sensorsis mainly driven by the strengths of LIDAR sensors, such as high angular
resolution and a broad view required for proper mid-range detection. The data
scanned by the LIDAR is capable of being captured by software tools that can be
used to create a model of surrounding vehicles. The LIDAR sensors also act as a
perfect link between close ranges and far range sensor systems.
The market for LIDAR automotive sensors is alsoprimarily driven by its growing use in self-driving cars. LIDAR sensors make it
possible to distinguish between a person on a bike and a person walking and at
the speed and direction in which they are going. LIDAR is a crucial sensor for
self-driving cars with a combination of navigation, predictability, and
high-resolution object tracking.
The market is expected to expand in the future,as major players concentrate on both reducing costs and increasing the range
and resolution of LIDAR sensors.
