LiDAR Automotive Market - By Type: Solid-state LiDAR, Mechanical LiDAR, Others. By Application: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), Autonomous Vehicles, Mapping & Surveying, Others. By Region: North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
The Global LiDAR Automotive Market is accelerating toward mainstream adoption, fueled by the convergence of autonomous driving ambitions, regulatory safety mandates, and technological breakthroughs in solid-state designs. Valued at USD 680 million in 2023, the market is projected to grow at a staggering CAGR of 34.2%, reaching USD 6.8 billion by 2031. This comprehensive analysis examines the pivotal role LiDAR plays in the ADAS-to-autonomy transition, with a particular focus on the evolving sensor fusion architectures and the emergence of LiDAR-as-a-feature business models among OEMs.
Three disruptive forces are reshaping the competitive landscape: the price erosion curve bringing automotive-grade LiDAR below $500 per unit, the standardization of functional safety certifications (ISO 26262), and the integration of perception software stacks with sensor hardware. The report offers detailed insights into wavelength preferences (905nm vs. 1550nm), scanning technology battles (MEMS vs. Flash vs. FMCW), and the increasing significance of classification algorithms in maximizing LiDAR's value proposition for urban driving scenarios.
