According to an industry analysis conducted by Fact.MR, in 2022, the worldwide LiDAR sensor market is projected to exceed a value of US$ 1,908.1 million, with a prospective growth rate of 12.7%. By the close of 2032, it is anticipated to extend to US$6,328.7 million. Notably, LiDAR sensor sales constituted less than 1% of the overall global sensor market by the conclusion of 2021.

The surge in demand for LiDAR sensors can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of autonomous vehicles and connected cars, which rely on these sensors to identify obstacles along their routes. Notably, advancements in vehicle automation and transportation planning will significantly shape the automotive industry's evolution throughout the forecast duration.

One notable sector contributing significantly to the LiDAR sensor market is meteorology. The integration of LiDAR sensors in this field has made meteorology the largest end-use segment for these sensors. LiDAR sensors play a crucial role in providing meteorological departments with valuable insights into the data they collect, aiding in the understanding of weather conditions.

Over time, LiDAR sensor technology has become more cost-effective and sophisticated, largely driven by ongoing technological innovations in the field. The use of LiDAR for creating 3D and 4D images of the surrounding environment has emerged as a key driver for its widespread adoption.
