Global LiDAR Software Market Size is valued at USD 488.6 Mn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 3050.3 Mn by the year 2034 at a 20.2% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
The light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system is generalized as a remote sensing device that uses light beams to analyze, detect, and map things. The LiDAR device consists of a sender that emits light rays and a receiver that gathers reflected light rays for mapping purposes. Due to its capacity to generate highly accurate data and 3D photos in less time than traditional surveying methods, this technology has gained appeal over conventional surveying methods. The improved automated processing capability of LiDAR scanners and systems in terms of picture resolution and prompt data processing capability over other technologies are the primary factors pushing the growth of the global LiDAR market.
However, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced the LiDAR ecosystem's enterprises. Both producers and end users have benefited from LiDAR technology. The epidemic of COVID-19 has had a significant impact on the market for oil and gas exploration applications. LiDAR exploration applications include using LiDAR for oil and gas exploration and mining. The restrictions on public transit reduced gasoline use and had an impact on global oil prices. The decrease in oil and gas output has impacted exploratory applications, reducing the market for LiDAR.
The LiDAR Software Market is segmented on the basis of application, technology type, product type, and deployment. Application segment includes forestry & environmental, survey & mapping, automotive, construction & infrastructure, and others. The technology type segment includes mechanical and solid states. The market is segmented by product type into simulation, mapping, and processing software. The deployment segment includes airborne and terrestrial.
The airborne category is expected to hold a major share of the global LiDAR Software Market in 2022. The segment's growth is likely to continue in the next years, owing to the increased deployment of aerial mapping technologies. The airborne LiDAR system is a precise and comprehensive means of constructing digital elevation models, effectively replacing photogrammetry. This technology covers a larger area than its terrestrial counterparts and provides broad area mapping in shorter time intervals.
The personal care segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global LiDAR Software Market. The increased need for LiDAR systems in applications such as ADAS and driverless vehicles drives this segment's growth. Emerging LiDAR technologies widely employed in the automotive sector include driver assistance and low-speed collision avoidance systems. These technologies provide greater monitoring and guidance features to the driver, allowing self-driving cars to succeed even without a human driver.
The North America LiDAR Software Market is expected to register the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. This can be due to the region's increasing acceptance of administrative regulations demanding the installation of specified automotive safety technologies in both lightweight and heavyweight vehicles. Because of the increased acceptance of technology such as ADAS and AEB, North America has seen growth potential in the automobile business. Because of increased local and foreign investment, China and India are projected to remain lucrative markets. To improve client service, the corporations are growing their presence in Europe and Asia Pacific.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
