Laser Distance Sensors Market Development Space Is Broad China's High-performance Laser Distance Sensors Domestic Share Is Extremely Low

The United States, Germany, Japan and other countries laser distance sensors market development time is long, advanced technology level, occupies the main share of the global high-performance laser distance sensors market.
Laser distance sensors use non-contact measurement principle, with high measurement accuracy, fast measurement speed, wide measurement range, continuous measurement, easy installation and debugging and other advantages, in automotive, electronics, metallurgy, aerospace and aviation, construction, logistics, intelligent manufacturing and other fields with a wide range of applications. Laser distance sensor is a device that measures the distance to the target object by means of laser pulses.
According to the different measurement principles, laser distance sensors are divided into laser triangulation sensors (laser triangulation method), time-of-flight laser distance sensors (time-of-flight measurement method). Among them, laser triangulation sensors are suitable for close-range detection, and the measurement accuracy can reach the micron level; time-of-flight laser ranging sensors use light pulses to determine the distance to the object, which is more suitable for long-distance measurement.
The report shows that laser ranging sensors have a wide range of application scenarios, and in recent years, with the level of industrial automation, the laser ranging sensors market has been expanding year by year, and the global market size reached more than 14 billion yuan in 2023. The global laser range sensor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 10.0% from 2024-2028.
Globally, laser distance sensors manufacturers include Germany Lloyd Electronics, Germany SICK (SICK), Japan Panasonic, U.S. Ouster, Wo Sai Technology, Sunny Optics, ICP DAS, JQ Intelligence, Shanghai Xiebao Electronics and so on. The United States, Germany, Japan and other countries laser distance sensors market development time is long, advanced technology level, occupies a major share of the global high-performance laser distance sensors market.
Due to the late start, high technology threshold, China's laser range sensors are mostly concentrated in low-end areas, high-performance laser range sensors domestic share is extremely low. In recent years, China is engaged in laser range sensor research, production and application of the number of enterprises and institutions continue to increase, laser range sensor localization process is accelerated, such as poly-intelligence to break the monopoly of foreign technology, the first to use dToF technology route to achieve high-performance laser range sensor production.
Long-range, high-precision laser distance sensors are industrial sensors in the high-end products, China has broken the monopoly of foreign technology. 2023 December, the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Science and Technology issued a "China's ban on the export of restricted exports of technology directory" announcement, which explicitly mentions the restriction of the distance measurement accuracy <2mm laser detection and ranging system technology exports.
Industry analysts said that as a high-end industrial sensors, laser ranging sensors in intelligent manufacturing, precision mapping and other areas of application prospects. Laser range sensors are technology-intensive industries, the industry quasi-entry threshold is high, foreign companies dominate the global market. China's laser ranging sensor market started late, but with technological breakthroughs, high-performance laser ranging sensors will accelerate the speed of domestic substitution.
