RoboSense Dominates Global LiDAR Market with Top Rankings in 2024 Sales and Market Share

RoboSense Climbs to the Top of the Global LiDAR Market

In a major breakthrough for automotive technology, RoboSense has been crowned the leading company in the global passenger car LiDAR market for 2024, according to a recent report by Yole Group, a prestigious international research and consulting firm. This accolade is a reflection of not just rapid sales growth but also RoboSense's pioneering role in driving innovation within the LiDAR space.

The Market at a Glance

The global passenger car LiDAR market is witnessing extraordinary growth, reflecting a 68% year-on-year increase, bringing its market size up to approximately USD 692 million. RoboSense has secured an impressive 26% share of this expanding market, emerging as a clear frontrunner. This growth is largely attributed to the increasing demand for high-level Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which rely heavily on LiDAR technology.

With China leading the charge in LiDAR adoption, domestic brands account for a staggering 92% of the global market. 2024 saw approximately 1.6 million LiDAR units integrated into passenger vehicles, more than doubling installations from the previous year. Notably, the report indicates that RoboSense achieved the status of annual sales champion by selling 519,800 units, leaving competitors behind.

Robust Partnerships Fueling Growth

The robust performance of RoboSense is rooted in a strategy that emphasizes close collaboration with over 30 Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Tier 1 suppliers, including significant partnerships with BYD, Zeekr, and IM. As of March 2025, the company has supported the launch of more than 15 vehicle models such as the Toyota bZ3X and GAC Trumpchi S7, showcasing its leading-edge technology in practical applications.

The outlook remains bright as RoboSense continues to expand its footprint. The company is poised to play a dynamic role in the global landscape, with plans in motion from OEMs across China, Europe, Japan, Korea, and the United States to introduce more car models equipped with LiDAR technology in the near future.

Expanding Horizons: Global Partnerships

Beyond dominating the Chinese market, RoboSense is making strides internationally. The firm has established eight overseas partnerships with key players in the automotive space, including significant joint ventures with top-tier automakers in the U.S. and collaborations with all of Japan's leading manufacturers. These partnerships showcase RoboSense's commitment and ability to innovate and meet the increasing demand for smart mobility solutions.

Focus on Robotaxi Development

The report highlights a notable shift in the global Robotaxi market, marking a transition from pilot projects to large-scale implementations. This evolution is expected to raise the demand for LiDAR systems as more autonomous driving capabilities are introduced. Estimates suggest that the L4 LiDAR market alone is projected to reach USD 166 million in 2024, reflecting a 35% yearly growth increase due to the rising implementation of RoboSense’s LiDAR in Robotaxi solutions.

Cutting-Edge Innovation and Product Diversity

With a comprehensive approach to innovation, RoboSense stands out as the sole global manufacturer offering a complete portfolio of LiDAR products. These range from mechanical units to hybrid solid-state and full solid-state systems. The company’s ambition to stay ahead of technological trends is demarcated by its recent incorporation of advanced chip technologies in its product lines, promising better detection ranges and high resolution — enhancing the performance and versatility of their systems.

Amid the growing demand for robotic and intelligent driving solutions, RoboSense is strategically positioned to lead the industry. The company has robust capabilities that promise not just advancements in LiDAR technology but also a significant contribution to the development of safer and smarter transportation solutions across the board.
