Airborne LiDAR is a polar, dynamic, and active multi-sensor system that includes a navigation unit (global navigation satellite system, and inertial measurement unit) for continuous positioning and altitude measurement of the sensor platform, as well as the laser scanner. Also, components such as airborne lidar sensors are widely used these days in aerial lidar systems to create 3D topographical aerial maps.

Growth of the U.S. airborne LiDAR market is anticipated to be driven by factors such as growth in defense & aerospace industry and technological advancements in forestry & agriculture applications. Also, growing adoption of LiDAR in engineering and construction applications fuel the U.S. airborne LiDAR market growth. However, lack of awareness among end users acts as a major restraint for the market. On the contrary, increase in uses of GIS (Geographic Information System) systems is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the U.S. Airborne LiDAR industry.

Moreover, growing states in the U.S. tend to witness high penetration of airborne LiDAR products, especially in the forestry & agriculture segment, which is anticipated to augment the market growth. Factors such as surge in need for aerial LiDAR accelerate the market growth.

The U.S. airborne LiDAR market is segmented on the basis of component, application, and end user. By component, the market is classified into lasers, inertial navigation systems, cameras, GPS/GNSS receivers, microelectromechanical systems, and others. On the basis of application, market is divided into corridor mapping, seismology, exploration and detection, and others. Depending on end user, it is categorized into aerospace and defense, civil engineering, forestry and agriculture, transportation and logistics, archaeology, and mining industry. Also, the report provides a detailed U.S. airborne LiDAR market analysis based on competitive intensity and how the competition will take shape in coming years.

Covid-19 Impact Analysis

The outbreak of COVID-19 significantly affected the electronics and semiconductor sector. Business and manufacturing units across various countries were closed, owing to increase in number of COVID-19 cases, and remained closed in 2021. Furthermore, partial or complete lockdown disrupted the U.S. supply chain, posing challenges for manufacturers to reach customers.

The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and overall economy across the globe. The impact of this outbreak is growing day-by-day as well as affecting the overall business globally. The crisis is creating uncertainty in the stock market and is resulting in falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among the customer segments.

North American countries under lockdowns suffered major loss of business and revenue due to shutdown of manufacturing units. Operations of the production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which further impacted the growth of the U.S. airborne LiDAR market.

In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the electronics sector, as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, boosted the demand for electronics and semiconductor products in the industries. Its major impact includes large manufacturing interruption across Europe and interruption in Asian parts exports, which may hinder the U.S. airborne LiDAR market. It is expected that the demand for new and innovative products could surge once the economy begins to recover. Companies are looking forward to invest in next-generation products using new technologies, as it is expected to boost its goodwill, once customer demand surges.
