What are Factors Pushing Up Demand for Automotive LiDAR in Future?

-

More than 1.3 million people are killed in road accidents every year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Seeing this, many governments have started promoting the usage of vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Such moves have picked pace especially since the realization that most of the road crashes are a result of human errors, such as driving at more than the mandated speed limit, talking on the phone or sleeping while driving, cutting tight corners, jumping red lights, and driving too close to the automobile in front.

This is why P&S Intelligence predicts that the automotive LiDAR market value will increase to $14,754.7 million by 2030 from $289.3 million in 2019, at a high 26.1% CAGR during 2020–2030. This is because the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology is used by numerous safety systems now being integrated into automobiles, such as adaptive cruise control (ACC), blind spot detection (BSD), automatic emergency braking (AEB), and lane keeping assistance system (LKAS). 


Among these, the usage of LiDAR sensors is increasing swiftly in AEB systems, as they help prevent accidents by warning drivers if they get too close to the vehicle in front. The electronic control module of the system measures the pressure on the throttle (accelerator) to ascertain whether it is pressed or not. If the vehicle comes too close to the one in front and if the driver hasn’t yet stepped off the gas, it applies the brakes automatically. Thus, even if the AEB system cannot prevent the accident, it considerably reduces the severity of the crash.

With time, such systems are not being integrated just for higher safety, but to help the vehicle drivewithout human involvement. Thus, another key growth driver for the automotive LiDAR market is the rising requirement for autonomous vehicles. Automobile autonomy is rated from level 0 to 5 depending on what degree of human control is required to drive them. Presently, level 1–3 autonomous vehicles are common on the roads, while level 4 and 5 variants are still under development and extensive testing, mostly in Europe and North America.

Therefore, as autonomous vehicles have many more such advanced systems compared to human-driven ones, their rising sales would definitely propel the procurement of LiDAR sensors by automakers. Additionally, to make vehicles even safer and advanced, auto component makers are raising heavy funding for research and development (R&D) and mass production. For instance, Luminar Technologies Inc. raised $100 million from Moore Strategic Ventures LLC, G2VP LLC, and The Westly Group in July 2019. With the funding, it developed Iris, a new LiDAR platform, for autonomous trucks

Hence, with the rising demand for autonomous vehicles, the requirement for autonomous LiDAR sensors is increasing.

Demand for Electric Bike Set for Stupendous Growth in China and Post 2020, Buoyed by the Global COVID-19 Pandemic

-
In the 1950s, less than 20% of the Chinese people were urban dwellers, and by 2018, this percentage had soared to 59%, as per the World Urbanization Prospects 2018 report of the United Nations (UN). This has led to a massive rise in the number of automobiles on the roads of China, in part, making it the largest carbon emitter in the world. As a result, its government has been strongly encouraging the public to adopt electric vehicles (EV) by implementing stringent emission regulations and offering purchase subsidies and tax rebates. Request to Get the Sample Report: https://www.psmarketresearch.com/market-analysis/china-electric-scooters-and-motorcycles-market/report-sample P&S Intelligence says that the increasing urbanization level, which is expected to touch almost 70% by 2030, will drive the electric bike market in China from $7.7 billion in 2017 to $12.5 billion by 2025, at a 6.1% CAGR during 2018–2025 (forecast period). As per the Health Effects Institute and Tsing...

The air pollution levels in India have risen rapidly over the past few years. As per the Environmental Pollution Index 2018, the country is among the bottom five countries when environment health category is considered and ranked 178 out of 180, in terms of air quality. India’s carbon dioxide emissions rose by 4.6% in 2017. This surging emissions of ultra-fine particulate matter from fuel-based vehicles has caused the death of approximately 1,640,000 people in the country. In order to reduce the pollution, the government of the country is focusing on encouraging the utilization of electric vehicles. Owing to these factors, the demand for electric cars in India has risen considerably. According to a report by P&S Intelligence, the Indian electric car market is expected to generate a revenue of $707.4 million by 2025, rising from $71.1 million in 2017, and is projected to progress at a 34.5% CAGR during the forecast period (2018–2025). The different types of electric cars are hybr...

 The impact of COVID-19on the logistics industry has been quite negative, as the growth of the industry has slowed down due to the nationwide lockdown in most of the affected countries. Owing to the growth in e-commerce activities, increase in the disposable income of customers, and rapid urbanization in emerging economies, such as India and China, the logistics industry had been growing in recent years. Seeing the rising need for the transportation of goods, many new companies were entering the logistics space before the pandemic arrived. TheCOVID-19 impact analysis on the  logistics industry  reveals that trading activities between nations were discontinued to contain the spread of the virus, which disrupted the supply chain. For instance, the supply chain of China is operational across countries including India, South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the U.K., Spain, Italy, and Germany, all of which are badly jolted by the pandemic. Apart from China, all t...
