On the basis of platform, the airborne LiDAR market has been segmented into fixed wing, rotary wing, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). The fixed wing segment includes fixed wing general aviation aircraft. In the general aviation industry, many light aircraft are designed and built by amateur hobbyists and enthusiasts. The ones manufactured by OEMs are mostly used commercially to survey, photograph, film, and for freight transport, passengers, and sightseeing, as well as personal use. The significant growth in general aviation worldwide and increasing preference for cost-effective air travel for surveys and recreational activities are the primary factors expected to support the growth of the light aircraft market during the forecast period.

Topographic LiDAR is expected to be the largest segment for the airborne laser scanning market, by type

The airborne LiDAR market has been segmented on the basis of type into topographic LiDAR and bathymetric LiDAR. The most common form of airborne laser scanning system is the topographic airborne LiDAR, which operates on the time of flight principle by sending a high intensity laser pulse in a narrow beam towards the object, and measuring the time taken by the pulse to be reflected off the target and returned to the sender. The growth of the topographic LiDAR segment can be attributed to the rise in demand for enhanced situational awareness, and survey activities such as seismology, cartography, and meteorology, among others.

Some of the key players in the airborne LiDAR market are Saab (Sweden), Teledyne Technologies (US), Leica Geosystems (Switzerland), and FLIR Systems (US), among others.
