“SLAM market to grow at a CAGR of 35.77% from 2018 to 2023”

The SLAM market is projected to reach USD 465 million by 2023 from USD 101 million by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 35.77%, during the forecast period. The growth of this market can largely be attributed to the advancements in visual SLAM algorithm, growth of SLAM in augmented reality (AR), and growing demand for self-locating robotics in homes and enterprises. However, the limitation of SLAM in dynamic environments is expected to restrict the market’s growth to a certain extent.

“Market for AR/VR to register highest growth during forecast period”

Huge middle-class population, along with rising disposable income, in developing countries will act as agrowth catalyst in these counties. This, in turn, is expected to drive the SLAM market during the forecast period. Advancements in SLAM technology, like improving mapping accuracy, flexibility from cloud services, and better user experience compared to its counterpart (marker-based technology) are expected to propel the growth of SLAM in AR/VR applications during the forecast period.

“Market for Fast SLAM to register highest growth during forecast period”

The market for Fast SLAM is expected to register the highest CAGR. Fast SLAM produces accurate maps in extremely large environments and environments with substantial data association ambiguity. Fast SLAM is an efficient algorithm for autonomous navigation of mobile devices. Improving accuracy of localization and mapping and reduced hardware requirements for the process using Fast SLAM support the increasing penetration of mapping technologies in domestic robots and rising number of AR applications, which are expected to tailwind the rapid growth of this type.

“APAC to register highest growth during forecast period”
