How have varous drivers impacted the growth of the light detection and ranging (lidar) drone market?
The growing usage of drones for commercial purposes is expected to propel the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) drone market going forward. Commercial usage of drones encompasses the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) across diverse industries and sectors, leveraging their capabilities for efficient, safe, and cost-effective task execution compared to traditional methods. LiDAR drones are increasingly utilized for commercial purposes due to their ability to efficiently capture high-resolution elevation data for various industries such as agriculture, forestry, construction, and environmental monitoring. For instance, in May 2023, according to the UK drone survey consisting of 2,000 adults conducted by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), a UK-based government authority that oversees aviation activities to ensure safety and regulatory compliance, drone users across the UK increased to 5% in 2023 compared to 3% in 2021. Commercial deliveries using drones are expected to grow by 30% in 10 years, compared to 13% in 5 years. Moreover, filming and media drone users are expected to grow from 42% in 2022 to 46% in 2023. Therefore, the growing usage of drones for commercial purposes is driving the growth of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) drone market.
