The term “LiDAR” is an acronym for Light Detection and Ranging, which has been derived from the common term “RADAR.” LiDAR technology has been around in the military and research circles since the early 1950s. A typical LiDAR system mainly consists of three major components: a laser sensor, a Global Positioning System (GPS) unit, and an inertial navigation unit. The LiDAR system sends out laser pulses at the object/area to be mapped, and collects data by recording the pulses reflected by/from the object. In certain instances, as many as 100,000 such pulses are sent out every second.

The ability of LiDAR to collect vast amounts of data makes it highly accurate as compared with other digital surveying and mapping technologies. With the rapid development of the GPS and Inertial Navigation Unit (INU) technologies, LiDAR has become a commercially feasible technology since the last decade.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the North American market for LiDAR. This report includes market size forecasts, market trends, and opportunities for the period from 2014 to 2019 and the overview of the competitive landscape for the period from 2011 to 2014. The analysis has been conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of product type, application, and geography. On the basis of product type, the market is segmented into airborne LiDAR, terrestrial LiDAR, mobile LiDAR, and short-range LiDAR. Its main applications are in government sector, civil engineering, military, defense, and aerospace, corridor mapping, topographic surveys, volumetric mapping, and others. The geographical analysis includes countries such as the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. The report also includes the key market drivers and inhibitors, along with their impact, in detail.

Apart from a general overview of the major companies in this market, this report also provides financial analysis, products, services, and the key developments of the major players in the industry. Trimble Navigation Limited, Optech, Leica Geosystems, Velodyne LiDAR, and FARO Technology, Inc. are some of the leading players covered in the North America LiDAR market report.

The North America LiDAR market is expected to witness significant growth in coming years due to multiple factors. The growing demand for 3D imagery in various end use sectors such as construction, power transmission, transportation, and defense and aerospace is the major factor driving the LiDAR market in North America. Further, the LiDAR technology offers extensive time- and cost-saving capabilities which have increased the likes of its adoption and thus, the technology is preferred over traditional mapping methods. The LiDAR technology has replaced photogrammetry, mainly due to its comparative advantages over photogrammetry in terms of light independency and high accuracy.

The North American LiDAR market is estimated at USD 141,461.7 thousand in 2014 and at a CAGR of 9.8% from 2014 to 2019. In the North American region, the U.S. is the key market for LiDAR, having accounted for a market size of USD 96,915.5 thousand of the market share in 2014, and is followed by Canada with a market size of USD 41,306.7 thousand in 2014.
