PALO ALTO, Calif., May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Hesai Group (Nasdaq: HSAI; HKEX: 2525), a global tech company and a leader in 3D perception, has been recognized as the No.1 supplier in long-range ADAS lidar shipments for the fifth consecutive year, according to Yole Group's latest "Automotive ADAS 2026" report. The report evaluates lidar companies across multiple key performance metrics and underscores Hesai's leadership in high-volume ADAS deployment, reinforcing its position at the forefront of the automotive applications.
According to Yole Group, a global advisory and market analysis firm known for its expertise in the semiconductor, photonic and electronic sectors, Hesai leads the long-range ADAS lidar market of passenger cars with a 43% volume share, outperforming key competitors in a highly concentrated landscape. This leadership reflects the company's strong presence in high-volume passenger-car long-range programs and its ability to deliver automotive-grade lidar solutions at scale.
Within this expanding market, long-range ADAS lidar has emerged as the dominant configuration, accounting for approximately 3.1 million units out of the 3.7 million lidar units shipped in passenger vehicles last year, further underscoring the strategic importance of the segment in which Hesai holds a leading position.
Driven by a 60% year-on-year growth, the global automotive lidar market surpassed the $1 billion milestone for the first time. Yole Group notes that Hesai's shipment growth was mainly driven by the rapid scaling of passenger car programs with leading Chinese automakers. Robust volume increases from partners including Li Auto and Xiaomi, together with BYD's ongoing efforts to expand ADAS adoption via its "God's Eye" intelligent driving system, have greatly accelerated the large-scale deployment of lidar.
As noted in the report, Chinese suppliers account for approximately 95% of the lidar market for automotive, highlighting China's central role in shaping industry dynamics. Within this landscape, lidar has emerged as the most mature and scalable sensing technology, characterized by both high program scale and advanced supply chain maturity. As shown in the report, Hesai is positioned at the forefront of this segment, underpinned by its leadership in high-volume automotive programs and its ability to consistently deliver reliable, automotive-grade lidar solutions through a highly industrialized supply chain.
As illustrated in the report's technology benchmarking, Hesai's product portfolio, including flagship platforms such as AT Series and ETX, is positioned prominently within the highest-performance segment, demonstrating leading capabilities in both long-range detection and high-resolution perception. This positioning reflects Hesai's continued investment in next-generation sensing architectures and underscores its leadership not only in large-scale deployment, but also in defining the technological trajectory of the automotive lidar industry.
"We are honored to be recognized by Yole Group for our leadership in long-range ADAS lidar shipments," said Bob in den Bosch, Senior Vice President of Global Sales at Hesai. "As ADAS adoption continues to scale, perception capabilities are becoming increasingly important. With innovations such as our Picasso 6D full-color lidar platform and next-generation ETX, we are advancing lidar from pure spatial sensing toward richer environmental understanding, supporting the evolving needs of automotive ADAS."
"Hesai's leadership in long-range ADAS lidar shipments reflects its strong execution in high-volume automotive programs and its ability to scale alongside leading OEMs," said Pierrick Boulay, Principal Analyst at Yole Group. "The company's scale and ongoing innovation will continue to support its position in the automotive lidar landscape."
In November 2025, Hesai's cumulative deliveries surpassed 2 million units, making it the first automotive lidar company to reach this milestone. To date, Hesai has secured design wins with 40 automotive brands globally across over 160 vehicle models, with multiple programs scheduled for mass production between 2025 and 2027. Hesai's monthly production and deliveries have also exceeded 200,000 units, supporting the continued deployment of lidar across automotive industry.

Hesai Secures No.1 in Long-Range ADAS Lidar Shipments for Five Consecutive Years by Yole Group
Recognized as one of just five Leaders out of 18 evaluated vendors in the first-ever Gartner® evaluation of threat intelligence market, Group-IB's adversary-centric, predictive threat intelligence platform delivers visibility organizations need to stop threats before they land
SINGAPORE, May 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Group-IB, a leading creator of predictive cybersecurity technologies to investigate, prevent, and fight digital crime, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies. This recognition places Group-IB among just five vendors to achieve Leader status in the first Magic Quadrant™ Gartner® has ever published for the threat intelligence market, an evaluation that assessed eighteen vendors across completeness of vision and ability to execute.
This recognition is a testament to more than two decades of adversary-centric research, the scale and sophistication of its Unified Risk Platform, and the predictive threat intelligence advantage built on unique sources of threat intelligence and 21 years of proprietary telemetry, over 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, and continuous 24/7 dark-web monitoring.
Recognition for Innovation in Predictive Cyber Defence and Unified Risk Intelligence
In its 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies report, Gartner® highlighted Group-IB's verticalized intelligence as a key strength, specifically the platform's ability to combine dark web and closed-group access, incident response validation, proprietary fraud telemetry, and unique capabilities such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) threat monitoring and its Cyber Fraud Fusion model. These give Group-IB particular depth in financial services, telecommunications, and government and law enforcement sectors.
Gartner® also recognized the breadth and cost predictability of Group-IB's Unified Risk Platform, a consolidated intelligence data lake spanning threat intelligence, fraud, Managed XDR, sandboxing, and investigations, offering unlimited users, APIs, hunting rules, and takedowns at enterprise scale. Group-IB's innovation trajectory was further noted, with Gartner® acknowledging a clearly articulated roadmap shift from detection to prediction-first defence, encompassing attack-path modelling, predictive fraud disruption through Cyber Fraud Fusion, and unified incident management across Threat Intelligence, Attack Surface Management, Digital Risk Protection, and Cloud Security Posture Management.
"Being named a Leader in the first-ever Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Cyberthreat Intelligence Technologies is a milestone for Group-IB, and a validation of the direction we have taken since 2003. Cybersecurity can no longer be reactive, and organizations need adversary-centric, predictive intelligence from unique threat intelligence sources that helps them anticipate attacks before they materialize. This recognition reflects the strength of our Unified Risk Platform, the depth of our proprietary telemetry, and the expertise of our global teams who work every day to help customers, partners, and law enforcement stay ahead of cybercriminals," said Dmitry Volkov, CEO of Group-IB.
Intelligence built on two decades of adversary visibility
Group-IB's Leader positioning reflects capabilities forged in the field. Its Threat Intelligence solution delivers Predictive Indicators of Attack, generated from longitudinal intelligence and 24/7 dark-web monitoring, empowering organizations to forecast attacker tactics, toolsets, and regional campaigns before they fully materialize. Group-IB's Threat Intelligence has powered more than 1,500 joint investigations with law enforcement agencies, including INTERPOL, Europol, AFRIPOL, and underpins the threat visibility delivered to enterprises, financial institutions, and governments across Group-IB's global network of 11 Digital Crime Resistance Centers.
Group-IB's Cyber Fraud Fusion model, which integrates fraud intelligence with threat intelligence at the data layer, eliminates the blind spots that emerge when cybersecurity and fraud teams operate in silos. In an environment where Group-IB's proprietary research confirms that ransomware groups and fraud ecosystems are increasingly converging and sharing infrastructure, this unified view is not a feature advantage, but a strategic necessity for any organization serious about prediction-first defence.
