The sensors market is witnessing transformative growth propelled by the mass adoption of IoT, growing development of autonomous vehicles, and demand for industrial automation with Lidar as the most-enabling technology for next-gen markets.

The LiDAR Market was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2023 and will exhibit a CAGR of 18% from 2024 - 2032. The LiDAR sensor market generated USD 1.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at 20% CAGR from 2023-2032, with the LiDAR Sensor Market size expected to be USD 10 billion by 2032. The automotive applications are experiencing the greatest growth, with the Automotive LiDAR Market valued at USD 450 million in 2022 and is projected to grow at 65% CAGR from 2023 to 2032. The LiDAR sensor market was valued at USD 5 billion by 2032 due the increasing usage of 3D imaging tech with virtually forensically based applications. With the continued validity of LiDAR sensor tech (and any subsequent cost decrease of the equipment) the capture key evidence to hybrid/ autonomous vehicles, and the powerful utilization of 3D projector-based human-machine interface) are growing.

Industrial sensors are performing very well and smart sensors are developing as embedded computing technology establishes finite capability for concurrent computing of realtime data or user input. Combining AI with sensor-based technologies allows for powerful advancements in data processing ability, with AI sensors intersecting capabilities in machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing. LiDAR technology is uniquely positioned to maximize those capabilities based upon its accuracy of 3D mapping, distance, and object conversion and detection data.
