The North America simultaneous localization and mapping market was valued at US$ 202.33 million in 2023 and is expected to reach US$ 2,099.57 million by 2031; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 34.0% from 2023 to 2031.
Rising Adoption of Autonomous Vehicles Globally Fuel North America Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Market
Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a technological mapping method that allows autonomous vehicles to fabricate a map and localize themselves on the map at the same time. Localization and mapping are required to be combined to get an updated estimate of the map along with an efficient location of the vehicle. SLAM solutions can help autonomous vehicles locate themselves where maps are not available currently or have low connectivity. Moreover, using SLAM, the vehicle can autonomously navigate an unfamiliar environment by developing a map and simultaneously localizing itself.
The growing development in the automotive industry with the integration of advanced technologies is driving the adoption of autonomous vehicles globally. SLAM is employed by leveraging multi-sensor fusion-driven techniques. Sensors include an inertial navigation system (INS), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), high-definition maps (HD Map), and a global positioning system (GPS). The rising number of autonomous vehicles boosts the growth of the simultaneous localization and mapping market. In 2021, Microsoft partnered with Volkswagen Group's CarSoftware Organization to fabricate self-driving cars. General Motors purchased the self-driving startup Cruise in 2016. Cruise began its San Francisco autonomous driving taxi services in 2021. In 2024, the Cruise self-driving vehicle inventory counts was 300 cars, and the company predicts to reach ~US$ 1 billion in revenue by 2025. In September 2024, Uber Technologies, Inc. and Waymo LLC expanded their existing partnership to make the availability of Waymo Driver for users. Starting in early 2025, Waymo and Uber are anticipated to bring autonomous ride-hailing to Atlanta and Austin.
Thus, the growing development in the automotive sector with the advancement of autonomous vehicles propels the growth of the North America simultaneous localization and mapping market.
