According to the latest market research study published by P&S Intelligence, the global simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) technology market is experiencing explosive growth, projected to rise from USD 311.3 million in 2024 to a staggering USD 2,600.5 million by 2030, registering a remarkable CAGR of 42.4%. This growth trajectory is primarily driven by the rising demand for autonomous vehicles, the proliferation of augmented reality (AR) applications, and the increasing deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
Industries such as automotive and manufacturing are rapidly adopting industrial robots embedded with SLAM capabilities to enhance productivity. According to the International Federation of Robotics, over 553,000 industrial robots were installed globally in 2022-a 5% increase year-over-year. The growing need for precision mapping, automation, and autonomous navigation across various sectors underscores the critical role SLAM technology plays in modernizing global operations.

Key Insights
The SLAM technology market is segmented by offering into two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) systems. In 2024, the 2D segment is estimated to account for approximately 60% of the market share, primarily due to its effectiveness in location mapping using RGB-D data in residential and industrial robots. However, 3D SLAM is gaining momentum owing to its superior mapping accuracy in complex environments.
Based on type, the extended Kalman filter (EKF) leads the market due to its consistent performance over time and lower computational complexity. Meanwhile, the “Fast” SLAM category is experiencing the fastest growth, catering to real-time applications where speed and responsiveness are critical.
Within applications, the robotics segment holds the largest share, while UAVs are expected to see the fastest growth. UAVs increasingly rely on SLAM for location mapping, surveillance, and reconnaissance, making them vital tools across sectors such as defense, agriculture, and disaster management.
From an end-user perspective, the military sector emerges as both the largest and fastest-growing segment, with a projected CAGR of 42.8%. The technology’s ability to enhance operational safety and reduce human involvement in hazardous zones makes it invaluable in defense strategies.
Regionally, North America dominates the SLAM technology market, holding an estimated 40% share in 2024. This dominance is attributed to high IT investments, advanced manufacturing ecosystems, and early adoption of emerging technologies. Conversely, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest growth, driven by rapid industrialization, increasing automation, and supportive government policies promoting tech innovation.

Visual SLAM is one of the most transformative advancements in the sector. By leveraging 3D vision for localization and mapping, it’s becoming central to AR applications, field robotics, and embedded vision solutions. The adoption of cost-effective sensors like cameras and laser rangefinders further accelerates its implementation.
Despite its rapid rise, the technology faces challenges in low-dynamic environments, where it struggles with recognizing slowly changing surroundings. This can lead to errors in loop closure-a critical mapping function-potentially affecting the reliability of autonomous navigation systems.
The competitive landscape is fragmented, featuring major players like Intel Corporation, Alphabet Inc., Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, Clearpath Robotics, NavVis GmbH, Parrot Drones SAS, and Meta Platforms Inc. These firms are leveraging mergers, acquisitions, product innovations, and partnerships to consolidate their market presence.
Future opportunities for SLAM technology lie in expanding its integration with autonomous driving systems, smart manufacturing, and next-generation AR applications, opening up a vast frontier for technological evolution and commercial expansion.
