Description

Definition and Scope:

The Vehicle-Mounted LiDAR Market is an emerging segment within the autonomous vehicle and advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) industry, offering highly detailed 3D mapping and sensing capabilities essential for vehicle navigation and environment perception. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technology uses laser beams to measure distances and create high-resolution, three-dimensional representations of the surroundings, which is crucial for enabling self-driving cars, enhancing safety, and improving navigation accuracy. Vehicle-mounted LiDAR systems are increasingly integrated into passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and robotaxis, providing critical data for applications such as object detection, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control, and autonomous driving systems.

The global market size for vehicle-mounted LiDAR reached approximately USD 538 million in 2023, marking a year-on-year growth of 79%. This indicates a rapid expansion in demand and adoption of LiDAR technology, particularly in the context of autonomous vehicle development. The market is expected to continue its upward trajectory, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38% from 2024 to 2029. By the end of the forecast period, the market size is anticipated to grow to USD 3.632 billion. This impressive growth reflects both the increasing integration of LiDAR into passenger and commercial vehicles as well as the ongoing advancements in LiDAR technology that reduce costs and improve performance.

A key driver of this rapid growth is the accelerating development and commercialization of autonomous vehicles and ADAS technologies. As manufacturers strive to meet the growing demand for safer, more efficient driving experiences, LiDAR has become a pivotal sensor for autonomous vehicles. The significant decline in LiDAR prices has also played a crucial role, making the technology more accessible to a broader range of vehicles, particularly in the high-end passenger car market. Moreover, the expanding use of robotaxis, particularly in regions like North America, Europe, and China, has further contributed to the growth of the vehicle-mounted LiDAR market.

In terms of market segmentation by type, the vehicle-mounted LiDAR market can be divided into solid-state LiDAR, mechanical LiDAR, and other specialized types. Solid-state LiDAR is increasingly gaining traction due to its lower cost, reduced complexity, and compact design, making it suitable for integration into mass-market vehicles. Solid-state LiDAR does not have moving parts, which not only lowers the cost but also increases the reliability and durability of the systems. In contrast, mechanical LiDAR, which uses rotating components to capture 360-degree data, is typically more expensive and suited for high-end applications, but it remains a popular choice due to its maturity in the market and superior range and resolution.

The application segmentation of the vehicle-mounted LiDAR market includes passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and other. In recent years, the passenger car market has seen substantial growth, driven by the adoption of advanced ADAS features and the decreasing cost of LiDAR systems. High-end vehicles are increasingly being equipped with LiDAR sensors to enable autonomous driving capabilities, such as automatic lane-keeping, obstacle detection, and adaptive cruise control. The commercial vehicle sector is also experiencing growing demand for LiDAR technology, particularly for fleet management, safety systems, and autonomous delivery vehicles. In addition, while the robotaxi market initially dominated the LiDAR adoption curve due to early investments from companies like Waymo, Cruise, and Didi, the market dynamics have shifted in favor of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles since 2022. This change is largely attributed to the rapid decline in LiDAR costs and the slowdown of certain robotaxi services due to regulatory hurdles and accidents. As a result, passenger and light commercial vehicles equipped with LiDAR technology are increasingly outpacing the robotaxi market in terms of adoption.

The vehicle-mounted LiDAR market is also significantly shaped by regional factors. In China, manufacturers such as Hesai Technology, Robosense, and Livox dominate the global market, capturing approximately 84% of the total share in 2023. The country’s aggressive push toward becoming a global leader in electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technology has made it a critical player in the LiDAR space. Additionally, Chinese companies benefit from strong government support and a rapidly expanding consumer base, which boosts the demand for vehicles equipped with LiDAR sensors. Meanwhile, in North America, companies like Waymo, Cruise, and Aurora continue to lead the development of autonomous vehicles, making the region a key market for vehicle-mounted LiDAR systems. In Europe, demand for LiDAR is growing as automakers, including Volkswagen and BMW, accelerate their investment in autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle technologies.

As for the competitive landscape, Chinese companies currently lead the global LiDAR market, particularly in the vehicle-mounted segment. Leading manufacturers such as Hesai Technology, Robosense, Seyond (Innovusion), Livox, and Huawei have captured the lion’s share of the market. These companies have made substantial investments in research and development to improve LiDAR performance, reduce costs, and expand their product portfolios. In particular, Hesai Technology is recognized for its solid-state LiDAR solutions, which are expected to drive widespread adoption due to their lower cost and smaller footprint. Robosense, on the other hand, remains a key player in mechanical LiDAR systems, offering high-performance sensors for both autonomous vehicles and advanced ADAS applications.
