Westford, USA, Sept. 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The demand for drones is growing at an alarming rate, and this is especially true for LiDAR drones. LiDAR drones are often used in surveying, mapping and land management applications, but their versatility has led to their widespread use in other industries as well. As per SkyQuest analysis of the Global LiDAR Drone Market, LiDAR sensors are used across several potential applications, such as mapping roads and buildings, detecting objects hidden under water, and measuring distances between vehicles and pedestrians.
One of the most notable applications in the global LiDAR drone market is in the automotive industry. They have been used to help determine the location and size of a defect on a car's surface. This information is then used to create a 3-D model of the car that can be used for further diagnostics or repairs. Another area where LiDAR drones are being extensively used is in law enforcement. Some police departments are using them to help track criminals, while others are using them for border control purposes.

Lidar Drone Market is Expanding at a CAGR of 18%, but the Growth is Throttle by Several Industry Challenges
As the technology behind drones continues to evolve, so too do the challenges face by those in the drone industry. And one of the key areas that continues to be a challenge for those in the drone business is LiDAR. This technology has been heralded as a game changer for many industries and is now being used more and more in robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
The LiDAR drone market is still in its early stages, with many challenges still to be overcome. Key ones include overcoming prohibitive cost and weight limitations, developing efficient and reliable mapping software, and overcoming the hurdle of maintaining high accuracy over long periods of time.
One key factor that has helped LiDAR drone market adoption grow quickly is the widespread availability of compatible sensors from various manufacturers. However, sensor quality will continue to be a key concern for the industry as companies strive to achieve accuracy levels similar to those achieved by conventional aircraft systems.
- Mapping software development is also progressing slowly, with many companies finding it difficult to establish an accurate mapping process and overcome reliability issues. Overall, there are several significant challenges facing the LiDAR drone industry that will need to be addressed if widespread acceptance is to be achieved.
- High cost of drones: A key challenge for the LiDAR drone market is the high cost of drones, especially when weighed against the benefits they provide. As drone technology matures, it may become more affordable, but there are a number of challenges to overcome first. As per SkyQuest analysis, an entry level lidar system costs around $23,000, which further adds $10,000–$20,000 as cost of drone. In addition to this, it requires robust software, insurance, and licensed pilot, which, in turn, take the average cost of the of mid-range Lidar drone to $62,000 to $70,000. Apart from this, end-users in the LiDAR drone market also have to spend around $1,000 on maintenance per year.
- Unmanned aircraft systems regulation: There are many regulations surrounding unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and businesses will need to comply with them in order to reap the full benefits of drone technology. This includes understanding and adhering to safety guidelines, registering with authorities, and ensuring good data management.
