LiDAR market experiences leapfrog development; Oufeiguang accelerates deployment to empower industries such as robotics and automotive.

At present, the automotive industry has moved from the “first half” of electrification to the “second half” of intelligence. The intelligence-driven wave represented by “mass-market intelligent driving” and “gas and electric, same intelligence” is spreading across the board. As a core three-dimensional perception sensor and safety component in passenger vehicles, LiDAR has, following the widespread adoption of features such as NOA (navigation-assisted driving) and AEB (automatic emergency braking), gradually become the car’s “invisible safety airbag.”

According to data from the Gaogong Intelligent Vehicle Research Institute, the number of LiDAR units pre-installed as standard on passenger vehicles in China’s 2025 market has already reached 3.2484 million units, a year-on-year doubling growth of 112.07%. The penetration rate of new energy vehicles has reached 20.48%. In the future, as AEB becomes mandated and automakers advance “gas and electric, same intelligence,” LiDAR will gradually extend into the gasoline vehicle market, further expanding the demand space.

At the same time, in the rapidly developing robotics sector, the market size of lawn-mowing robots, humanoid robots, delivery robots, and others is still growing quickly. Demand for LiDAR will continue to rise. Driven by market demand in areas such as intelligent vehicles and robotics, the LiDAR industry is expected to enter a period of leapfrog development.

As a leading company in the optical and optoelectronics sector, O-Film has been deeply involved in machine vision for many years. It is a leading domestic provider of machine-vision depth camera system solutions. It has already launched multiple mature perception solutions, including monocular, binocular, and iToF. The company has also made a deep strategic layout in the LiDAR field. In February of this year, O-Film and Fushi Tech officially reached a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will carry out in-depth collaboration around the field of all-solid-state LiDAR.

According to the plan, O-Film will develop multiple all-solid-state LiDAR products based on Fushi Tech’s latest array SPAD-SoC chip, providing comprehensive empowerment for industries such as robots, unmanned vehicles, and intelligent lawn mowers. The two sides will take the lead in focusing on the robotics field, working to enhance its key capabilities including environmental perception, precise positioning, and navigation obstacle avoidance. They will also seek breakthroughs in areas such as LiDAR stability, miniaturization design, and cost control.

Combining Fushi Tech’s latest array SPAD-SoC chip, O-Film will be the industry’s first to launch a true two-dimensional addressable short-range solid-state LiDAR, addressing issues such as high-reflection expansion, suppressing problems like multipath and dust interference, and giving the confidence for calm action in a complex world. This product features a highly integrated pure solid-state architecture, chip-level design and manufacturing, coverage across different viewing perspectives, different application distances, centimeter-level fine perception, and strong adaptability to a wide range of scenarios. With low power consumption, it provides a reliable spatial perception foundation for higher-level autonomous driving and self-mobile systems.

From expanding the boundaries of vehicle perception, to empowering robots’ autonomous mobility, to safeguarding precise operations of intelligent devices, O-Film’s true two-dimensional addressable solid-state LiDAR delivers fine and reliable perception. It meets stringent requirements for all-weather, all-operating-condition scenarios, achieves stable large-scene coverage, and empowers the rollout of intelligence across the full domain.

In the next phase, O-Film will focus on adopting Fushi Tech’s SPAD-SoC chip. The two sides will further work together to develop a new all-solid-state LiDAR sensor that integrates visual capabilities, jointly building an intelligent perception platform for the next generation of robots. Through strong collaboration, the two sides will not only accelerate the evolution of terminal products such as robots, unmanned vehicles, and intelligent lawn mowers in terms of environmental perception and intelligent decision-making. They will also strive to achieve global leadership in key perception technologies, injecting strong momentum into pushing Chinese technology companies to stay at the forefront of international innovation competition and to shape new industry standards.
