Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is an optical remote sensing technology that is primarily utilized to measure distances by illuminating a target with the help of laser light, and further carrying out an analysis of the reflected light. LiDAR is comparable to radar in certain aspects. However, LiDAR uses waves of shorter wavelengths unlike radar, which uses radio waves for measuring targets. The LiDAR technology uses waves typically in the visible, ultraviolet, and infrared range. This technology enables direct measurement of 3D structures and underlying terrain with high resolution and high data accuracy. The capability of LiDAR equipment to achieve high resolution makes them superior to other traditional optical instruments used for measuring heights. The LiDAR market can be segmented based on types into short range, airborne, mobile and terrestrial LiDAR. According to application, the LiDAR market is categorized into coastal, forestry, transportation, infrastructure, defense and aerospace, transmission lines, and flood mapping applications.

Escalating demand for 3D imagery in consumer, commercial, and government applications is one of the major factors driving the global LiDAR market. The demand for LiDAR technology is increasing in these application segments, along with an increase in the demand for 3D scanning and 3D imagery. The adoption of LiDAR technology is slowly penetrating in various government sectors, such as roadways, railways, and forestry management among others. Thus, huge demand from government sectors in different countries is supporting the LiDAR market. Further, LiDAR is superior to photogrammetry in terms of accuracy and speed and thus, LiDAR has vastly acquired consumers of photogrammetry in the recent years. However, the LiDAR market faces challenge related to the complexity in interpreting the output data, due to lack of data set standardization.

Apart from a general overview of major companies in this market, this report also provides financial analysis, growth strategies, and key development of players operating in the LiDAR market segment. Airborne imaging, Inc. (U.S.), Leica Geosystems (U.S.), Optech Incorporated (Canada), Trimble Navigation Limited (U.S.), RIEGL Laser Measurement Systems GmbH (Austria), and Renishaw Plc (U.K.)., are some of the leading players covered in the European LiDAR market report.

The Europe LiDAR market was valued at $91.8 million in 2014, and is projected to reach $172.8 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 13.4% from 2014 to 2019.

The European LiDAR market for building/infrastructure and corridor mapping application is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 15.1% and 18.5%, respectively during the forecast period. This growth is mainly attributed to the high demand for security at commercial places, such as airports, hotels, hospitals, and offices, which in turn, increases the adoption of LiDAR devices worldwide.
