Hand-held Land Mobile Radio Market size was valued at US$ 7.98 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 16.68 billion by 2031; it is estimated to record a CAGR of 11.6% from 2025 to 2031.
The Hand-held Land Mobile Radio Market is segmented into 5 major regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, South America. Asia Pacific dominated the hand-held land mobile radio market in 2024. North America is the second-largest contributor to the global hand-held land mobile radio market, followed by Europe.
The hand-held land mobile radio market in Asia Pacific is undergoing rapid and expansive growth, driven by a combination of industrial modernization, infrastructure investment, and increasing safety and environmental regulations. Asia Pacific represents one of the fastest-growing markets for hand-held LMRs, driven by rapid urbanization, expanding infrastructure, and growing national security and disaster management investments. With vast disparities in network coverage and topography, many countries in the region rely heavily on hand-held radios as primary communication tools for field personnel.
In emerging economies such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, hand-held LMRs are widely adopted by municipal police, transport operators, construction sites, and event security agencies. These devices' affordability and ease of deployment make them especially suitable in environments where cellular coverage is inconsistent or unreliable. Developed markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Australia are moving towards broadband-integrated hand-held radios, allowing richer data exchange and enhanced field coordination. Integration with drones, wearable cameras, and AI-based monitoring systems is also emerging, boosting portable radios' intelligence-gathering potential in urban surveillance and remote rescue operations. Asia Pacific is experiencing a rise in private LTE networks being deployed for critical industries such as mining, energy, and ports, creating demand for dual-mode hand-held radios that can bridge traditional LMR and LTE systems.
Hand-held Land Mobile Radio Market Trend: The global shift from analog to digital radio technologies is another major trend driving the hand-held land mobile radio market. Digital radios, such as those using DMR (Digital Mobile Radio), P25 (Project 25), or TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) standards, offer a wide range of benefits over analog systems, including better audio quality, improved spectrum efficiency, secure encryption, and the ability to transmit both voice and data. These advantages make digital LMRs especially appealing to mission-critical users such as emergency responders, transportation authorities, utilities, and industrial operators who require reliable and feature-rich communication systems. The shift is also propelled by regulatory bodies phasing out analog spectrum allocations and encouraging digital adoption through funding and policy incentives.
