WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF REVAMPING Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) Market WITH RESPECT TO RUSSIA-UKRAINE CONFLICT

Request Sample

Light Detection and Ranging is a remote sensing method that uses light as a pulsed laser scanner to measure ranges (variable distances) to the earth. These light pulses generate precise, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional information about the shape of the earth and its surface properties combined with other data recorded by the airborne system.


The market is driven by the increasing demand for automated cars and various industries for gathering accurate data. With the help of a high-intensity laser tool, a mini electro-mechanical system, a MEMS scanner, and global navigation satellite system transceiver, light ranging can be applied to generate 2D, 3D, or 4D images.


System has wide applications in various areas such as seismology, geomatics, airborne laser track mapping, meteorological physics, archeology, and geomorphology. In addition, using LiDAR in various applications is also carried out by industries such as automotive, aerospace & defense, healthcare, and others. Further, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, (NOAA), system is used for coastal geospatial service and coastal remote sensing.


RUSSIA-UKRAINE WAR IMPACT


Russia-Ukraine Conflict Could Disrupt the Supply Chain of Imaging Ranging Solutions


The Russia-Ukraine war profoundly affects the global supply chain relationship and raw material price system. Further, the supply chains of the components or equipment could result in delays or shortages in the market. Besides, Ukraine is known for producing electronic components, and the war may lead to disturbances in its manufacturing capabilities, which could affect the overall supply chain.


The conflict can create an atmosphere of instability in Europe and globally, which might deter investment and slow infrastructure development projects. This technology is extensively used in mapping, surveying, and infrastructure planning. Therefore, a decline in such activities could impact the demand for light detection and ranging solutions for various industry verticals.

Offshore Wind Energy Targets to Attract Enormous Investments to Bolster Market Growth


With the increasing adoption of this imaging technology for various mapping and 3D imaging applications, there is exponential growth in its volume and revenue share. Due to the negligible performance dimension of specific existing mapping and imaging solutions, is necessary. This ranging technology uses fewer wavelengths and can detect more tiny objects, making it far more precise than conventional methods.


The imaging system technology is also used in the environment to provide vivid applications. These trends can be attributed to the use of technology internally used for various geoscience applications to produce precise and high-quality 3D data while studying different types of wildlife ecosystems.


DRIVING FACTORS


Increasing Demand for 4D LiDAR Solutions for Several Industrial Verticals to Propel Market Growth


Light detection and ranging measures the time of flight of laser points to build a 3D real-time information model about the real world. The system sensor can calculate the distance to each object precisely based on the speed of light by the time the output laser pulse and the reflected pulse overlap. To produce a 3D matrix of its surroundings, system collects millions of those precise distance measurements every second. All the features of 3D System, plus a camera, are available in 4D System. The camera uses depth perception for each pixel, providing precise data by capturing actual time images.


The use of 4D technology for autonomous vehicles, machine vision, and factory automation is expected to propel the product demand. 4D technology is foreseen to grow as autonomous cars evolve. It is expected that the 4D system will help to increase the autonomy of the Autonomous Driving Assistance System (ADAS), which can speed up and simplify decisions on how to drive.


For instance, in January 2023, Aeva, a leader in next-generation sensing and perception systems and a global provider of autonomous driving solutions, announced the unveiling of a design for the next-generation PlusDrive highly automated driving solution integrated with Aeva’s Aeries II 4D sensor.


Increased Demand for LiDAR from Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Engineering, Construction, and Other Applications to Aid Market Growth


Wind energy is the fastest-growing renewable energy with low carbon emissions and less pollution. The global wind energy market has grown in recent years, as per the Global Wind Energy Council. The development and management of wind farms, power generation by wind energy, and distribution boost investment in energy development. Ground-based system has been extensively used in a wide range of applications including unmanned aircraft systems, advanced driving assistance systems, measurement, and others.


The demand for this technology would increase with the growing product deployment for this application. For instance, in December 2022, Black Sage Technologies announced that the Air Force Research Laboratory, AFRL, awarded a USD 4.5 million contract to evaluate novel sensing solutions to improve drone detection and discrimination. Black Sage, a leading provider of counter-unmanned aircraft systems (C-UAS), and Spectral Sensor Solutions (S3), a leading provider of LiDAR-based threat sensing capabilities, are teamed to conduct the research program named LiDAR Unmanned Aerial System Detection and Discrimination (LUASDD).


Further, the construction industry uses these solutions to generate precise 3D replicas of buildings and cities without obstacles. Moreover, big companies dominate the global market, focusing on developing and delivering advanced ranging and imaging systems for various applications. Governments have permitted autonomous vehicles to be operated by themselves across countries such as the U.S., Japan, China, and others. These vehicles are equipped with state-of-the-art that allow objects to be detected at a microscopic level, which provides a precise 4D replica of the object.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Easy Availability of Low Cost Light Photogrammetry Systems may Hamper the Market Growth


The market growth is expected to be slowed by using low-cost and transportable photogrammetry for mapping and surveying purposes. With active sensors, the LiDAR drone identifies objects in the field and then emits a laser beam to determine how far it's from ground targets. In order to allow users to see and calculate the distance of objects in 3D, photogrammetry systems use photographs transmitted from 2D and 3D cartographic models, allowing them to perceive objects below the surface of the ground.


The raging and imaging system drone's costs were almost as high as the photogrammetry systems. They shall bear the low cost of using drones with a single camera for carrying photogrammetry equipment.


This heavy equipment makes it more expensive to fly the laser sensing drones. Consequently, the expansion of the market hampered by easy accessibility to low-cost and light photogrammetry systems.
