Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
The growing significance of efficient critical communication operations is notably driving the market growth. The land mobile radio technology has advanced from conventional, analogue voice service to complex systems integrating trunking and digital capabilities. It has features such as high-quality audio, rapid voice call setup, group calling, and guaranteed priority access to end-users. It functions on a direct mode and site trunking, and its acceptance is growing in current and potential market segments, including commercial and public safety applications.
Moreover, TETRA does not require broadband data. Thus, due to the growing security threat and the demand for better efficiency and better information sharing, the growth of effective public safety communication networks has become the highest priority for organizations, which is propelling the growth of the global market for land mobile radio technology.
The convergence of LTE networks with land mobile radio technology is the primary trend in the market. Traditional land mobile radio networks are voice-centric and have limited bandwidth, therefore, emergency services are interested in leveraging LTE networks to support increasing data requirements. LTE is the most preferred mobile broadband network because of its flourishing ecosystem, flexibility of spectrum, and performance metrics. The major reason for adopting LTE in the land mobile radio industry is the increased need for broadband data applications. There is a requirement for real-time situational updates, and LTE-enabled recording devices can relay live video streams to a command center where commanders maintain real-time tactical situational awareness.
Moreover, some vendors are developing applications that aid in integrating land mobile radio and smart devices. Thus, the rising integration of LTE networks with land mobile radio devices is expected to boost the demand for land mobile radio devices during the forecast period.
Radio spectrum issues are the major challenges impeding the market growth. The radio spectrum is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum which is required to provide wireless voice, data, and video communications services. Although the demand for LTE services is growing and it is on the verge of implementing 5G technology, the telecom industry is witnessing a scarcity of spectrum. Even though the wireless industry has a significant amount of spectrum, the operators who own the greatest amount of unused spectrum may be undercapitalized or unwilling to build out a network to use the spectrum.
Public safety communication systems operate on different frequencies, such as very-high frequency (VHF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), 700 MHz, and 800 MHz. Systems that operate on different frequencies are not interoperable. This challenge can be eliminated by introducing bridging devices that can connect the systems and enable interoperability between systems and responders.
The report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.

North America is estimated to contribute 36% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
In North America, land mobile radios are widely used in government, utility, and defense applications. The increasing adoption of land mobile radio technologies for public safety applications, such as firefighting, law enforcement, and military, is expected to drive the growth of the market in the region. Effective communication during emergency situations, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods, is essential for emergency management. The number of such crises is increasing in the region. For instance, from January 2020 to October 2020, around nine hurricanes were recorded, out of which three hurricanes, namely Laura, Teddy, and Delta, became major storms. The militaries of various countries in the region are investing in upgrading their equipment. Thus, this is increasing the demand for land mobile radios, which is expected to drive the growth of the LMR market in the region.
The land mobile radio (LMR) market in North America grew sluggishly in 2020 owing to the outbreak of COVID-19. However, many end-user industries resumed their operations in 2021 owing to the initiation of large-scale vaccination drives in various countries of the region, which led to the lifting of the lockdowns. The recovery from the pandemic and the regrowth of the end-user industries are anticipated to drive the growth of the regional market during the forecast period.
