What Are The Major Factors Driving The Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) Drone Global Market Growth?
The increasing application of drones in the commercial sector is predicted to boost the LiDAR drone market's growth. The commercial employment of drones involves using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in various industries, capitalizing on their ability for a safe, efficient, and cost-effective execution of tasks compared to conventional methods. Due to their capacity to effectively collect high-definition elevation data, LiDAR drones are being increasingly employed in commercial settings across a range of industries such as agriculture, forestry, construction, and environmental supervision. For example, as per a 2023 UK drone survey by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), a UK-based governmental body that supervises aviation to ensure safety and regulatory compliance, the percentage of drone users across the UK rose to 5% in 2023 from 3% in 2021. Drone-facilitated commercial deliveries are anticipated to increase by 30% over ten years, as opposed to 13% over five years. Further, the percentage of drone users in filming and media is expected to augment from 42% in 2022 to 46% in 2023. Consequently, the increasing application of drones in the commercial sector is fuelling the growth of the LiDAR drone market.
