The land mobile radio market size is expected to reach US$ 24.32 billion by 2031 from 12.15 billion in 2024, at an estimated CAGR of 10.9% from 2025 to 2031.
By Geography the Land Mobile Radio market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and South and Central America. In 2024, Europe held a significant share in the market. European governments are investing in modernizing their communication infrastructure to improve public safety. These efforts include the adoption of digital LMR systems to replace older analog systems, aligning with global trends toward smart cities and public safety modernization. The Ministry of Interior and other government agencies in charge of crisis prevention, disaster relief, and national security matters use the TETRA system as a unified radiocommunication system to facilitate administration, coordination, and interaction. In 2022, a project was initiated by the European Commission (EC) in Bulgaria. With EUR 63.7 million of financing from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, this measure will help achieve national coverage of the TETRA system of the Ministry of Interior, increase the number of subscribers of the system from all state institutions, and improve the capacity and quality of services. The envisaged radio coverage of the TETRA communication system shall reach 90% for portable TETRA radio terminals and 95% for mobile TETRA radio terminals on the territory of Bulgaria. Two contracts for the development of the TETRA system were signed in 2022, following open and competitive tenders. There is a soaring trend of digital transformation across industries in Europe, with public safety agencies and commercial enterprises adopting digital LMR systems. Digital systems offer superior features such as improved voice quality, enhanced security, and better spectrum efficiency.
Initiative by the European Union (EU) to make itself a security community is leading towards investments and activities for the development of public safety communication infrastructure. For instance, the first half of 2025 marked a milestone for the EUCCS (European Critical Communication System) and particularly for the work led by the EUCCS Preparation program, coordinated by PSCE (Public Safety Communication Europe). The EC has published its new security strategy for the EU (2025-2027). The strategy aligns with objectives such as strengthening crisis communication capabilities, integrating hybrid threats into planning scenarios, and developing a European crisis management architecture.
The land mobile radio market analysis has been carried out by considering the following segments: Type, Technology, Frequency, and Application.
On the basis of type, the North America land mobile radio market is segmented into handheld and in-vehicle. Handheld portable radios, also termed mobile radios or walkie-talkies, are increasingly being used in commercial, public, and industrial applications owing to its small dimensions and easy-to-use. The agriculture and construction sectors, and public safety and emergency service departments are among the major end users of portable LMR devices. Thus, surging activities across these sectors propel the demand for handheld portable LMR across North America. In August 2024, TrellisWare Technologies, Inc. announced the launch of the new Handheld TW Shadow 750 radio (TW-750) at the APCO Conference and Exposition in Orlando, Florida. The radio offers a small form factor with full feature capabilities to address mission-critical communications challenges encountered by public safety agencies and first responder operators. The TW-750 expands TrellisWare's portfolio of radios with an integrated handheld solution to address mission-critical communications challenges, putting Mobile Ad Hoc Networking (MANET) capability directly in the users' hands for simplified operation.
Moreover, factor such as rising importance of effective critical communication and surging demand from several industries propel the land mobile radio market growth. Also, surging use among common people is expected to bring new land mobile radio market trends in the coming years.
On the basis of technology, the North America land mobile radio market is segmented into P25, TETRA, DMR, analog, and others. For a critical mission wireless network, the user requires a system that delivers more than just voice communication. The Association of Public Safety Communications (APCO) developed Project 25 (P25) to safeguard public safety professionals. Mission-critical network users need to seamlessly interoperate with neighboring states, and federal and local agencies. The P25 benefits through lower maintenance and operating costs. P25 offers the freedom to choose between numerous vendors for dispatch consoles, subscriber radios, or other network devices.
