The rising security concerns are expected to drive the growth of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) perimeter detection market going forward. Security concerns are increasing due to the growing number of ransomware attacks targeting critical infrastructure, as cyber-physical threats expose weaknesses in facility protection systems and prompt organizations to enhance their perimeter defense strategies. Light detection and ranging (LiDAR) perimeter detection systems address these challenges by utilizing laser-based sensing technology to detect and track unauthorized movements or potential threats along facility boundaries in real time. This provides organizations with advanced early warning capabilities, allowing them to prevent security breaches before they occur. For instance, in April 2025, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), a United States-based government agency, the number of cybercrime complaints rose to 859,532 in 2024, with reported financial losses exceeding $16.6 billion, representing a 33 percent increase from 2023. Therefore, the rising security concerns are driving the growth of the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) perimeter detection market.

Key companies operating in the light detection and ranging (LiDAR) perimeter detection market are focusing on integrating advanced technologies, such as four-dimensional (4D) sensing, to improve real-time object detection, tracking, and situational awareness. Four-dimensional (4D) sensing is a LiDAR-based technology that captures an object’s position, distance, and velocity over time, enhancing motion prediction and situational awareness in security, traffic management, and smart infrastructure applications. For instance, in August 2025, Aeva Technologies Inc., a United States-based manufacturing company, introduced the Atlas Orion 4D LiDAR sensor designed to advance smart infrastructure, traffic management, and security applications. The system features Power-over-Ethernet (PoE++) for simplified installation, complies with NEMA-TS2 traffic control standards, and utilizes Aeva’s FMCW 4D LiDAR technology to deliver ultra-long-range detection, dynamic object tracking, and high-resolution situational awareness while avoiding the collection of personally identifiable information. With detection ranges of 500 meters for vehicles and 200 meters for vulnerable road users, a 120-degree field of view, and 0.05° × 0.05° angular resolution, the Atlas Orion provides wide intersection coverage using just two sensors and enhances real-time motion prediction for applications in traffic, security, and crowd monitoring.

In January 2025, Koito Manufacturing Co. Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturing company, acquired Cepton Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
