Lidar is an active optical remote sensing detection technology. Based on its unique advantages in spatial resolution, detection sensitivity, anti-interference ability, and large-scale actual monitoring, it has been widely used in environmental protection, meteorology, ecology, agriculture, marine, and surveying and other fields. At present, the laser pointer market is growing, and the market prospects are inestimable.
According to the latest data from Foresight.com, benefiting from technological advancement and capacity enhancement, the market size of lidar in 2020 is expected to exceed 10 billion. According to the 25% penetration rate of the after-installation market before 2020 and the 5% penetration rate of the after-installation market, the size of the Chinese market is expected to be nearly 20 billion.
It can be found that the development forecast is based on macro considerations of policies and markets. On the one hand, the government encourages and supports the vigorous use of laser equipment in engineering projects and large-scale equipment. On the other hand, data acquisition by laser radar, increasing emerging applications and innovations in laser pointer radar technology have attracted more and more market participants to invest in production. This provides a powerful driving force for the development of the laser equipment industry.
Laser technology has developed rapidly and applications have continued to expand. A few days ago, the "R & D and Application of Atmospheric Fine Particles and Ozone Space-Time Detection Lidar System" project has developed a fast online monitoring system for the temporal and spatial distribution of atmospheric fine particles and ozone with independent intellectual property rights, which has improved the independent innovation capability and core of China's lidar industry. Competitiveness; the research team of the University of Science and Technology of China realized the first dual-frequency Doppler wind measurement lidar based on a superconducting nanowire single-photon detector in the world, improving the practicality and reliability of the wind measurement lidar; Changsha, Hunan Yuhua District is the first to use 3D visible laser radar to detect urban air pollution, helping to achieve scientific pollution control and precise haze control.
In the extensive laser pointer market application of lidar, the automotive lidar industry is poised for growth. With the gradual popularization of driverless cars, China's automotive lidar market will maintain a rapid growth. It is estimated that by 2021, the size of China's automotive lidar market will exceed 600 million yuan. As a key component of unmanned driving systems, with the continuous development of technology, prices will continue to fall, and lidar is facing mass applications and large-scale commercial use is just around the corner.
Lidar solidification is the future trend, and there are advantages of miniaturization and low cost. The solid-state lidar does not require rotating parts, so it is smaller and easier to integrate into the body, and the system reliability is improved, and the cost can be greatly reduced.
Based on its own development status, keep an eye on the future trends of the industry, and grasp the major opportunities in the market of automotive lidar and drones, lidar equipment companies will rise to the market and develop more cost-effective laser pointer products for the market. It satisfies the needs of government department geographic information system construction and related industries.
