Lidar is one of the fastest-growing technologies,and it is driving the demand for high range obstacle detection systems across several industry sectors. Continuous advancements in this technology with growing investments by companies and the pptential applications of this technology in industries such as automotive, engineering, construction, environment monitoring, mapping and exploration, and agriculture are a few of the factors driving adoption of lidar in various industries. Companies such as Neptec Technologies (now Lumibird Canada), Quanergy Systems Inc., SICK AG, AEye Inc., Innoviz Technologies Ltd., and Waymo LLC are involved in the development of lidar sensors/systems that can be employed in diverse range of industries. The continuous innovations in laser optics, real-time 3D processing, and detection technologies are further boosting the advancements in lidar systems. Lidar sensors are being widely employed in robotics and autonomous systems owing to their performance benefits over other radar-based obstacle detection sensors. The capability of lidar-based sensors to generate high resolution 3D maps and 360? vision with accurate depth information is driving their adoption in industries such as automotive, manufacturing and construction, aerospace and defense. These factors are escalating the demand for lidar-based high range obstacle detection sensors.

According to the latest report from the World Health Organization (WHO), the USis the worst-affected country due to the COVID-19 outbreak in terms of confirmed cases and deaths. The outbreak first began in Wuhan (China) in December 2019, and since then, it has spread at a rapid pace across the world.Thepandemic is affecting both supply and demand dynamics for several industries, which is further affecting the adoption of high range obstacle detection systems. The ongoing slump in industrial production and demand, coupled with disruptions in technology adoption in various sectors, especially in the automotive sector,has lowered the demand for high range obstacle detection systems, and the trend is likely to continue for the next few quarters.
