Land Mobile Radio Market by Type (Hand Portable, In-Vehicle), Technology (Analog, Digital (Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA), Digital Mobile Radio (DMR), Project 25 (P25)); Frequency (25-174 MHz, 200-512 MHz, 700 MHZ & above) - Global Forecast to 2030

The land mobile radio market is projected to grow from USD 17.89 billion in 2024 to reach USD 32.24 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2025 to 2030. Land mobile radio services are used by police, fire, and emergency medical service agencies for interoperability amongst themselves as well as with dispatch centers. Land mobile radio services have a wide range that extends over long distances, which makes them dependable. Furthermore, LMR systems may be utilized in areas devoid of any mobile phone signal whatsoever or those with an erratic pattern of cell connectivity. At the same time, public safety departments are progressively employing these methods on the most essential lines of communication.

“By type, the hand-portable segment is projected to witness a higher growth rate than the in-vehicle (mobile) segment during the forecast period.”

Hand-portable radios are widely utilized by safety officials and employees in sectors like building and power supply, providing ease of movement and comfort. Mobile communication devices in cars work during travel, but portable ones provide mobility and basic features. Additionally, instant messaging is facilitated through these hand-held radios. They eliminate languidness and facilitate issues targeted to all operators directly, leading to an increase in workplace effectiveness.

“By technology, the digital segment is projected to account for a larger market share than the analog segment during the forecast period.”

Digital land mobile radio brings out unique aspects of conventional two-way radio systems, including text messaging, telemetry, and high-quality transmission of data. They allow better utilization of radio spectrum by employing sophisticated techniques like time-division multiplexing (TDM) and frequency-division multiplexing (FDM). The significant benefits accruing from using digital LMR are enhanced sound quality resulting from advanced error correction as well as noise suppression methods. Additionally, digital LMRs possess more room compared to their analog counterparts; hence, numerous users could share one channel at a time.

“The US is projected to account for the largest market size in North America during the forecast period.”

The growth of the US market is due to the presence of major players and the government’s focus on meeting the increasing demand for land mobile radios, including advanced data services (LTE), group communications, 4th generation technology, as well as allocating high-frequency bands for versatile operations. Major customers of LMR devices in the US are government officials and their prime contractors who require high-level encryption solutions for military and commercial purposes. Moreover, in the military and commercial sectors, safety personnel use various radio systems, such as vehicle-mounted radios, hand-held radios, or airborne radios, which operate on different frequencies for voice and data communication.
