Platform Type (Ground-based Platform, Naval-based Platform, Airborne Platform)
In terms of platform type, the ground-based platform segment in the tactical radios market is projected to expand at a CAGR of over 40% by the end of 2036. Ground-based platforms are expected to remain the largest market for tactical radios for the foreseeable future. These radios are widely used in all ground tactical operations and missions. Additionally, the demand for tactical ground radios is expected to increase in view of the growing threat of terrorism and border conflicts. For instance, in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Russian military reportedly used Chinese-made BaoFeng UV-82HP tactical radios to communicate with military personnel stationed in Ukraine.
Application (Army, Navy, Airforce, Land, Special Operation Force)
Based on application, the land segment is anticipated to hold around 30% share of the global tactical radios market during the projected period. Ground forces are the most powerful in terms of personnel and have the largest number of vehicles, so militaries around the world are increasing their land-based mission capabilities. Ground communications systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing ground forces to take advantage of advanced radio technology and smartphones while actively moving in ground vehicles and dismounted infantry. The growing need for secure communications for mobile ground forces has led to the emergence of small form factor communications solutions that improve mobility.

North American Market Analysis
The tactical radios market in North America region is predicted to dominate the market by reaching a growth rate of 35% during the time period between 2024 – 2036. The United States is the world's largest military spender. According to SIPRI, the country's military spending rose 4.4% to USD 778 billion in 2020, accounting for 39% of global military spending. The country plans to increase funding for communications, sensors and electronics by about 20% in real terms over the next two years. The country's Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Fit program aimed at procuring a family of software reprogrammable radios for tactical voice and data communications will generate huge demand for reader and manpack radios during the forecast period. The Army's current procurement goals include 100,000 leader radios, 65,622 manpack radios, 21,579 rifleman radios, and 104,496 single channel data radios. In January 2021, Thales announced that it had been awarded a third delivery contract by the U.S. Army to supply the AN/PRC-148D Improved Multiband Inter/Intra Team Radio (IMBITR). This latest award brings his total orders for IMBITR radio to over 6,000. Therefore, this predicted to further drive the market expansion in the North America region during the expected period.
APAC Market Statistics
The tactical radios market in Asia Pacific is expected to grow significantly during the estimated period. The growth of this market can be attributed on the account of increasing investment by the countries of this region in enhancing defense infrastructure and growing demand for faster communication along with the advancement in next-generation technologies. This growth can be attributed to an increase in defense spending, as well as increased emphasis on improving communications capabilities by providing the region with more sophisticated tactical communication systems.
