Automotive LiDAR sensors market in APAC
The automotive LiDAR sensors market in APAC was valued at USD 2.16 million in 2015. Technavio researchers believe that reduction in costs of overall ADAS technologies will spark significant market growth during the forecast period, though all LiDAR sensors will likely be consumed by the high-end cars segment. There are a few noteworthy aspects of APAC market, making it attractive for new automotive technologies. For instance, Japan is an early adopter of LiDAR technology in Asia and hence enjoys an upper hand in terms of using these sensors in the automotive space.
The Chinese government is also pushing policy initiatives to promote research and development in technology-enabled enhancements in the automotive industry. This contributes to the growth of safety technologies in the region. In addition, China owns several LiDAR technology patents, which indicates further developments aimed at bringing down costs. The significant opportunity for LiDAR sensors market players in China is also evident from the 2015 Intelligent Vehicle Future Challenge (IVFC) event held in China’s Changshu city. The event showcased autonomous vehicles, of which 85% that participated relied on LiDAR sensors from Velodyne. These factors make China a potential high-growth market for automotive LiDAR sensors for self-driven cars of the future.
Automotive LiDAR sensors market in EMEA
Compared to other regions, EU enforces stringent laws governing vehicle safety that result in a higher adoption of ADAS. Accidents and vehicle-caused deaths have cost EU governments over USD 160 billion over the past decade. Consequently, EU governments have aggressively taken steps to curb road accidents. To that end, governments are exerting pressure on OEMs to introduce and employ advanced safety systems in vehicles.
The automotive LiDAR sensors market in EMEA was valued at USD 30.19 million in 2015. The presence of global automobile manufacturers in the region such as BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, among others makes it one of the largest markets for automotive LiDAR sensors.
Automotive LiDAR sensors market in Americas
The automotive LiDAR sensors market in the Americas was valued at USD 29.26 million in 2015. North America is a predominant contributor to the automotive LiDAR sensors market in the Americas. The US holds the most number of R&D projects going on in LiDAR sensing technologies. The US is also the first country to introduce legislations related to permit testing of automated vehicles though only four states have passed the bill. This signifies the potential opportunity for LiDAR sensors, and it is set to make automated driving a reality in the future.
