Market Overview
The global automotive industry is experiencing a huge surge of technological advancements and evolution since its origin in the nineteenth century. Many prospects for growth in the market are being created due to the convergence of various emerging technologies in the industries within the automotive ecosystem such as driverless vehicles, advanced vehicle sensors, and connected vehicle technologies, among others. This has now led to the advent of Advanced Driver Assist Systems (ADAS) for automobiles. These systems are intended to assist the driver in the driving process and make it easier for the driver to travel without worrying about the safety and control issues while driving. ADAS is expected to pave its way through semi-autonomous vehicles and ultimately, towards fully-automated vehicles.
There has been a growing number of vehicle-related on-road fatalities because of the increasing number of vehicles on the road, and such incidents are bound to increase in the coming years. Perceiving this lack of safety in vehicles and driving process, there is a massive demand for ADAS features and functionalities in a vehicle in the current automotive market. However, ADAS and driverless vehicles work on the input provided by automated systems, therefore, necessitating the need for more accurate and dense data provided to the system. Cameras/RADARs/ultrasonic sensors are unable to meet these sensing requirements due to various operational limitations of these sensors, which in effect, raises the need for the usage of Light Detection and Ranging (LiDARs) for a higher level of automation.
LiDAR devices use pulsed laser beam in order to calculate the distance of obstacles from any vehicles by emitting laser beams. The distance is measured by analyzing the time taken by the laser pulse to reflect and receive the sensors at receiving end. LiDAR sensors are used to scan the environment with a non-visible and non-harmful laser beam, which is used to visualize objects and measure ranges and create a 3D image of the vehicle’s environment. A LiDAR sensor has various advantages over other sensor systems such as a better range, field-of-view, accuracy, positioning, weather conditioning, and night-time performance among others. A LiDAR vehicle can also be used for various purposes apart from usage in the automotive industry such as for industrial topography, robotics, mining, military, surveying, and agriculture among others.
The global automotive LiDAR market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 29.60% during the forecast period 2018-2028. The high growth rate in the volume of LiDARs is predicted due to rising customer demand, extensive usage of LiDARs in high-level automated vehicles, and an anticipated decline in manufacturing prices of LiDARs after the commencement of mass production.
It has been observed that the automotive LiDAR industry is experiencing rapid growth. The global automotive LiDAR market is driven due to various factors influencing the market such as the increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles by automotive OEMs, the growing safety concerns in the automotive ecosystem, and the high investments in the recent years by various investors and companies. The eventual increase in acceptance by OEMs for using LiDARs in autonomous vehicles is expected to facilitate a higher growth rate for the automotive LiDAR market. There are also various challenges which currently hinder the growth of the LiDAR market such as high prices of automotive LiDARs, and the complex design and development of LiDAR safety systems among others.
At the same time, automotive LiDAR market, being at early stage, provides several opportunities for both LiDAR and semiconductor chip manufacturers for further growth and innovation such as the prospect of being an early market-entrant and a market leader in the automotive-grade LiDAR segment, which is yet to be fully explored by many LiDAR companies, among others.
Automotive LiDARs are available in different types depending on the technology. The two most prominent ones are mechanical and solid-state LiDAR. The automotive LiDAR industry is witnessing a shift in the trend from mechanical automotive LiDARs to solid-state automotive LiDARs, due to the wide range of advantages offered by solid-state automotive LiDARs over mechanical automotive LiDARs. Solid-state LiDARs tend to be compact, hence, can be easily integrated into self-driving vehicles. Furthermore, with technological developments in fixed laser beam devices and elimination of mechanical parts, automotive LiDAR manufacturing companies may avoid the huge cost associated with the production of components of mechanical LiDAR, therefore, leading to a reduction in the overall production cost of automotive LiDAR solutions.
Depending upon the levels of automation- level 2 (partial automation), level 3 (conditional automation), level 4 (high automation) and level 5 (full automation), different types of LiDARs are integrated into vehicles. The market is expected to have a prominent presence of LiDARs for level 4 and 5 automation, due to rising demand for level 4 and 5 automotive LiDARs as various OEMs and companies will begin to introduce level 4 and 5 vehicles which would have more LiDAR sensors in those automotive systems, but the majority remains with level 3 automation.
Geographically, U.S. led the global automotive LiDAR market in 2017 in terms of value as the U.S. market had a major share in the global automotive LiDAR market for the year 2017.
