Global Underwater 360° Single-Line Scanning LiDAR Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Underwater 360° Single-Line Scanning LiDAR market size is predicted to grow from US$ 14.77 million in 2025 to US$ 53.30 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20.1% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global production of underwater 360° single-line scanning LiDAR reached 236,000 units, with an estimated average selling price of US$64 per unit. Underwater 360° single-line scanning lidar is a two-dimensional surround-view ranging sensor specifically designed for underwater environments. It typically forms a 360° single-line scan on the horizontal plane by rotating optical structures or scanning mechanisms, outputting two-dimensional point cloud or polar coordinate distance data of pool walls, pool bottom boundaries, obstacles, and underwater structures. It mainly serves underwater robot localization, SLAM mapping, path planning, and obstacle avoidance, with applications concentrated in pool cleaning robots, underwater inspection robots, AUV/ROV short-range navigation, aquaculture inspection, port/dock structure inspection, ship cleaning, seabed resource exploration, underwater archaeology, and scientific surveying. The upstream of the industry chain mainly includes blue/green laser diodes, APD/SPAD/CMOS receivers, narrowband filters, lenses and optical windows, waterproof seals, micro motors/bearings, MCUs/SoCs, algorithm chips, connectors, cables, and IP68 housings; the midstream includes underwater LiDAR module design, opto-mechanical integration, waterproof packaging, calibration and testing, point cloud algorithms, and SLAM adaptation; the downstream mainly consists of pool cleaning robot manufacturers, underwater robot manufacturers, marine engineering testing service providers, and research institutions. Gross profit margins range from approximately 25% to 45%.

Global key Underwater 360° Single-Line Scanning LiDAR players cover Benewake (Beijing), SLAMTEC, Power-Too, Appotronics, BeamSea Associates, etc.
