Rising Use for Corridor Mapping is Augmenting the Market for LiDAR Drones

The market for LiDAR drones is being driven by the rising demand for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), owing to their versatile applicability in various end-use industries, such as agriculture, construction, mining, and defence, among others. The growing adoption of laser and sensor technology for navigation, mapping, precision agriculture, and mining activities is a major factor adding to the market growth.

 

Corridor mapping is one of the most significant applications of LiDAR drones, which has been substantially augmenting the growth of the market. During the planning and construction of infrastructure like roadways, railways, and oil and pipelines, corridor mapping is a critical step. LiDAR technology uses ultraviolet light for effective digital mapping in terrains, mountains, and dense areas. This data is provided by building 3 dimensional models of the reviewed zone and since the information derived using LiDAR technology is highly accurate, it is being increasingly used for corridor mapping in construction activities, thereby strengthening the market. Moreover, the rise in residential and commercial constructions in the wake of  urbanisation and industrialisation is providing momentum to the growth of the market for LiDAR drones.

 

LiDAR Drone: Market Segmentation

Global LiDAR Drone Market Share by Range

The short-range segment of the global market for LiDAR drones by range is anticipated to hold a significant share in the overall growth of the market in the coming years. As short-range drones fly at low altitudes, such as below 200 m, they do not require additional permissions to fly in most regions, thereby favouring the market growth.

Furthermore, short-range drones are lightweight in composition and are power efficient, hence they require small batteries, which leads to a reduction in overall operating costs, thereby, adding to the LiDAR drone market revenue. Small, low-power, and short-range LiDAR modules can strengthen safety and improve mapping and navigation for industrial robots, machinery, and drones. These features of short-range drones are thus expected to offer lucrative LiDAR drone market opportunities.
