mission critical communication Market

The Mission Critical Communication Market is expected to grow from US$ 17,031.56 million in 2022 to US$ 27,876.68 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.6% from 2022 to 2028.

The mission critical communication industry is experiencing significant growth driven by the rising utilization of connected devices and the increasing demand for reliable networks during emergencies. Mission-critical communication devices are designed to operate effectively in scenarios where conventional commercial communication networks may not function optimally. The public, enterprise, industrial, and government sectors demand ultra-reliable, low-latency, and high-bandwidth capabilities, which are the key factors propelling the growth of the mission critical communication market.

• In March 2022, Williams Communication Services (WCS), a Canadian communications corporation, was awarded a contract by the Canadian Ministry of The Solicitor General (SOLGEN) to provide multisite PowerTrunk-T TETRA and related equipment to 31 correctional and youth facilities.

• In December 2020, BAI Communications secured a five-year contract to operate the NSW Telco Authority's Public Safety Network (PSN) in New South Wales, Australia. Covering an extensive area of 325,000 km2, the network processes an average of 1.47 million calls per month and maintains an impressive 99.95% reliability to support state-wide mission-critical communications during emergencies. The contract is based on a novel service delivery model developed in collaboration with the NSW Police Force, NSW Ambulance Service, Fire and Rescue NSW, NSW Rural Fire Service, and the NSW State Emergency Service.

Such activities are further contributing to the growth of the mission critical communication market growth.

The Asia Pacific region is expected to show the fastest growth in the mission critical communication market during the forecast period. Public safety organizations in countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and others are actively adopting video communications technology to improve customer service, enhance security checks, and enable virtual control. Mission critical communication solutions are being integrated into government agencies and prisons to enhance infrastructure security. Furthermore, the transportation sector in the region is also adopting mission critical communication solutions, as seen in the case of the Philippine National Railways (PNR) which incorporated an advanced video surveillance system from Motorola Solutions in March 2022. This system has helped the rail operator to operate safely amid the COVID-19 pandemic and improve long-term security and flexibility. With the integration of 200 HD cameras and AI-powered video analytics, the PNR has been able to detect and control potential spread of COVID-19 throughout its operations. Such advancements in mission critical communication technology are expected to drive the growth of the market in the Asia Pacific region.

China is globally recognized as one of the top spenders in the defense sector, allocating significant budgets for the procurement of advanced military vehicles, navigation systems, and communication systems for remote locations. Furthermore, the Chinese government has placed a strong emphasis on public safety in recent years, with a notable mass surveillance program involving the deployment of an estimated 200 million CCTV cameras across the country. Additionally, China's economy heavily relies on the mining sector, as it is a leading producer of coal, steel, aluminum, rare earths, and other metallic minerals.

The investment in the military by China is expected to drive the procurement of new products, including mission critical communication systems, to support the rising mining activities in the country. The demand for mission critical communication solutions is likely to be positively impacted as a result. China's dominance in the production of various important mineral resources also influences the growth of the mission critical communication market in the country. This trend is expected to continue, further contributing to the expansion of China's mission critical communication market share.

COVID-19 Impact on Mission Critical Communication Market

The economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Asia Pacific region resulted in a significant decline in gross domestic product (GDP) for several countries in 2020, affecting industries such as oil & gas, maritime, mining, transportation, and telecommunications. Despite these challenges, the mission critical communication market in the region continues to show promising growth. For instance, in April 2021, Airbus selected Arubaito India Private Limited as its value-added reseller to deliver the Tactilon Agnet 500 communication and collaboration platform to the Indian market. This platform, which will be used on mobile broadband networks provided by BSNL as part of the contract, offers features such as push-to-talk, video calls, group information sharing, real-time location monitoring, end-to-end encryption, and emergency alerts. Various sectors, including defense, law enforcement, transportation, healthcare, power utility, airports, ports, mining, oil & gas, and disaster management, can benefit from the secure voice, text, and data communications solutions provided by Tactilon Agnet 500. Despite the ongoing pandemic situation, the demand for mission critical communication solutions is gaining momentum, and this trend is expected to positively impact the mission critical communication market in the Asia Pacific region.
