Aeroscan Technology : Unraveling the Potential of Drone-Tech for Industrial Advancement

CIO Vendor India’s drone market has shown immense growth potential, particularly in surve- ying, mapping, and specialized sensor-based applications with LiDAR technology making waves. As per reports from Grandwire Research, India’s LiDAR technology market which was valued at $47 million in 2023 is expected to reach $115.7 million by 2030. This growth, driven by its adoption in surveying and mapping governmental and industrial applications presents an exciting time for the industry and emerging players like Aeroscan Technology, a dynamic drone-tech startup. Use of LiDAR technology among the mining sector, forest departments, and others demonstrate its rising implementation. Simultaneously, the drone-based entertainment and marketing industry is growing along with applications in the agriculture sector and defence sector.
