On the other hand, vehicle-mounted LMRs can exhibit 10.03% CAGR over the assessment period to generate USD 4,018.7 million for the land mobile radio system market.

By application, public safety held close to 75.61% share of the land mobile radio system market in 2017. It can exhibit a strong CAGR of 10.76% during the assessment period owing to need for LMRs by public safety agencies such as firefighters, police, and other emergency responder organizations. On the other hand, the commercial application can generate close to USD 2,675.4 million by 2023.

By technology, digital accounted for 56.75% share of the land mobile radio system market in 2017 and purported to dominate the market till 2023. The digital segment can exhibit 11.84% during the forecast period to generate close to USD 6,706.4 million by 2023. Factors driving the segment growth are the rugged nature and its operability on advanced communication networking technology. Its counterpart, on the other hand, accounted for 43.25% market share in 2017. Analog can accrue close to USD 4,393.5 million by 2023 owing to being a trusted source for radio communication.

Regional Analysis:

Region-wise, the land mobile radio system market includes North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), and Rest-of-the-World (RoW). North America accounted for 31.84% market share in 2017, followed by Europe (28.73%), APAC (27.46%), and RoW (11.97%).

The North America region is expected to enjoy 10.93% CAGR over the forecast period to touch a valuation of USD 3,580.5 million by 2023. Establishment of supportive standards is likely to provide the regional market a much-needed impetus. For instance, Project-25 comprises a set of standards which enable public safety agencies to communicate via text or video. In addition, presence of prominent manufacturers such as Motorola, Harris, and RELM which can cater to user needs can augur well for the land mobile radio system market till 2023.

The APAC region is predicted to grow at a robust pace owing to being home to rapidly developing economies such as India, China, and South Korea. New standards for digital radio communication to be used by federal and local public safety agencies is likely to bolster the LMR market demand considerably till 2023. It is expected to exhibit 17.50% CAGR during the forecast period to touch a valuation of USD 3,213.2 million by 2023.

Europe, on the other hand, can reach a size of USD 3,085.6 million by 2023, at a 10.08% CAGR over the forecast period. France and U.K. can contribute the maximum to the regional land mobile radio system market owing to need for digital LMRs by their respective public safety agencies. Launch of Long-term Evolution for Professional Mobile Radio (LTE4PMR) which allow first responders to communicate via broadband is expected to facilitate market growth.
