The above 20 kW segment was the largest and was valued at USD 26.90 million in 2018. Some of the main features of the above 20 kW segment include a compact and lightweight, digital stereo encoder, built-in multiband audio processor, dual system control, switchable settings, RF power control, and VSWR and overheat protection. In addition, radio signals are transmitted from radio stations to listeners either via a repeater station or directly. The above 20 kW FM transmitters segment are the extensively used broadcast transmitters. Several smart phone manufacturers have integrated a radio application into their devices through which users can tune into radio stations. The easy availability of on-demand music streaming services poses a challenge to broadcast radio. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Based on technology, the segment is classified into analog and digital. Analog broadcast transmitters are utilized in the radio broadcasting industry to transmit audio signals over air waves. There is an extensive use of this segment by commercial radio stations to transmit music, news, talk shows, advertisements, and other forms of audio content to a broad audience. In addition, FM radio remains a popular medium for local and regional broadcasting due to its audio fidelity and coverage. Moreover, they provide real-time transmission, making them ideal for live events, news broadcasts, and interactive programming where immediacy is essential. Furthermore, they are often more cost-effective to install and operate. Thus, these factors will fuel the growth of the analog segment, which will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.

South America is estimated to contribute 38% to the growth by 2028. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends, drivers, and challenges that are expected to shape the market during the forecast period. Another region offering significant growth opportunities to market players is North America. The US and Canada are the prominent countries in the frequency modulation broadcast transmitter market in North America. Radio is an effective medium to reach the masses. One of the major factors driving the market growth in the region is the digitization of radio stations. In addition, the transition from analog to digital radio services has fuelled the demand which is positively impacting the frequency modulation broadcast transmitter market.
Moreover, the market in Canada is also growing, due to the constantly evolving entertainment space. The rising penetration of value-added talk shows on radio is also augmenting the growth of the market in Canada. Furthermore, the rising penetration of major broadcasting companies, including Media Inc., Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Rogers Media Inc., Stingray Radio Inc., Corus Entertainment Inc., and Cogeco Media Inc., in Canada is further anticipated to boost the market growth in the region.
The market is propelled by the widespread utilization for high-quality audio broadcasts. Unlike other technologies, FM is unaffected by variations in audio amplitude and signal level, making it highly suitable for mobile applications where signal levels fluctuate frequently. Moreover, FM technology exhibits resilience to signal strength variations, which is crucial for maintaining audio quality. In scenarios where signal levels fluctuate, FM technology ensures a reduction in noise levels at the receiver output. This reduction, known as the quieting level, can significantly enhance the listening experience by minimizing background noise.
Ideally, a broadcast transmitter should provide a quieting level of 30 dB for an input level of approximately a microvolt. This capability enhances the overall performance and reliability of FM broadcast transmitters, making them indispensable for various applications in the commercial and community radio sectors, as well as in personal audio devices and automotive entertainment systems. As a result, the resilience of the technology to signal strength variations is expected to drive significant growth in the market during the forecast period.
Solid-state transmitters are widely utilized for modern transmitter designs that are up to a few hundred watts. These solid-state transmitters are either discrete transistors or ICs. In addition, transistors can be extensively utilized at all frequencies and power levels. However, as the output of individual devices is limited, high-power transmitters must utilize many transistors in parallel.
Moreover, there is a high cost regarding the valve transmitter devices and the necessary combining networks. However, the availability of solid-state transmitters is decreasing the prices and it can eventually replace valve amplifiers. Solid-state transmitters are likely to replace amplifiers because of their low cost and high usability. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the frequency modulation broadcast transmitter market. Therefore, it is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
The adoption of portable smart electronic devices, including smartphones, and the use of new audio media, such as live streaming of music, have changed the way individuals consume audio. In addition, several Physical formats and digital downloads are being replaced by online streaming sites, including Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music, Google Play Music, and Pandora. However, they have yet to fully replace the live radio.
However, they have yet to fully replace the live radio. In addition, the increasing adoption of these services is posing a challenge to FM services. Furthermore, online streaming provides qualitative benefits over conventional radio. Hence, such factors negatively impact the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market growth during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
