Delray Beach, FLa., July 2, 2026--Markets and Markets released a new report "Solid-state LiDAR Market By Type (MEMS-Based Scanning, Optical Phased Arrays, Flash LiDAR), End-Use Application (Corridor Mapping, Engineering, Environment, ADAS & Driverless Cars, Exploration, Urban Planning), and Region - Global Forecast to 2030." The LiDAR market is projected to be valued at US$ 3.2 billion by 2030 from US$ 0.50 billion in 2025, growing at a CAGR of 45.0% during the forecast period.
Growing demand for detailed topographic mapping in infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and smart city projects augments the solid-state LiDAR market growth. Technological advancements, such as solid-state LiDAR offering cost efficiency and durability, boost its adoption across industries. Additionally, the increasing government investment in transportation safety and digital mapping initiatives offers lucrative opportunities for players offering solid-state LiDAR.
The flash LiDAR segment is expected to exhibit a commendable growth rate in the solid-state LiDAR market during the forecast period. This is due to its simple architecture, wide field of view, and ability to capture full-scene depth information in a single shot. Its no-moving-parts design reduces cost and improves reliability, making it well-suited for short- to mid-range applications. The growing adoption of robotics, industrial automation, and ADAS further supports the demand for flash LiDAR solutions.
Based on end-use application, the environment segment accounted for a major market share in 2024
The environment segment captured the second-largest share of the solid-state LiDAR market in 2024 due to the growing adoption of LiDAR-based sensing in environmental monitoring, mapping, and infrastructure assessment. Solid-state LiDAR is increasingly used for applications such as terrain mapping, flood modeling, forest management, pollution monitoring, and climate research, as it offers high accuracy, long operational life, and minimal maintenance compared to mechanical LiDAR systems. The absence of moving parts makes these sensors well-suited for continuous outdoor deployment in harsh environmental conditions.
China captured the largest share of the Asia Pacific solid-state LiDAR market in 2024
China held the largest market share in the solid-state LiDAR sector in 2024 due to its dominant position in semiconductor manufacturing and supply chain integration, enabling rapid scaling of production for domestic and global demand. Leading firms, including RoboSense and Hesai Group, leverage government-backed initiatives in autonomous driving and robotics, fostering innovation in OPA and flash technologies tailored for high-volume automotive applications. Extensive partnerships with local OEMs and cost advantages from localized fabrication further solidify its position over other countries in terms of solid-state LiDAR deployment and commercialization.
