$500+ Million LiDAR Drones (Topographic, Bathymetric) Markets - Global Forecast to 2027 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "LiDAR Drone Market by LiDAR Type (Topographic, Bathymetric), By Component (LiDAR Lasers, UAV Cameras), Drone Type (Rotary-Wing, Fixed-Wing), Range (Short-Range, Medium-range, Long-range), Application, Region - Global Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The LiDAR Drone market is projected to grow from USD 147 million in 2022 to USD 508 million in 2027; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 28.1%

LiDAR drone's adoption in mining application is driving the growth as mine operators are leveraging LiDAR drone technology to improve data quality, increase safety, and reduce operational expenses; while the growing adoption of new and advanced technologies has led to an increased demand for LiDAR drones for precision farming applications.

The market for medium-range LiDAR drones is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecasted period.

Medium-range LiDAR drones offer high accuracy and operate in a 200-500m range. These LiDAR drones are heavy and are suitable for medium-scale corridor mapping, forestry, coastline management, and agriculture applications. In many countries, commercial drones can fly at an altitude of 200-500m without requiring additional permission from regulatory bodies.

The market for corridor mapping applications is to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

LiDAR drones are used to create 3D maps of terrains using short-range, medium-range, or long-range lasers. They are used for corridor mapping by surveying and creating a 3D point cloud of roads, railways, power lines, and mines. LiDAR drones flying at low altitudes are preferable for corridor mapping applications, as they collect data accurately.

They are used to carry out corridor mapping for the transportation sector to support the planning and management of roads or railway tracks, which require high spatial resolution and accurate mapping. Thus, such various applications of LiDAR drone in corridor mapping is expected to create significant demand in coming years.

APAC to offer significant growth opportunities for the LiDAR drone market between 2022 and 2027.

In Asia Pacific, LiDAR drones are majorly used in environmental, corridor mapping, and precision agriculture applications. The market growth in the region can be attributed to the increased adoption of LiDAR drones for surveying and mapping operations owing to ongoing infrastructural development projects, growing awareness in Asia Pacific countries about forest management, and increasing mining activities in the region. Precision agriculture is also expected to drive the market in the region.
