Tactical Radios Market Analysis

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.

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.
