To Understand the Scope of this Report: Speak to Analyst
Ground segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The ground segment holds the largest share of the market in 2022, due to the rising demand for uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs) in the defense and commercial sectors. UGVs are increasingly used to provide surveillance data, deliver supplies, and activate explosives. They are designed to transport people, supplies, and military equipment through difficult and restricted terrains. UGVs are also utilized by emergency services such as the police and ambulance.
Governments worldwide are investing more in modernizing their military fleets while increasing military expenditures in other countries will further support the adoption of UGVs in the defense sector. Moreover, uncrewed vehicles are gaining popularity on the battlefield and domestically for law enforcement purposes, warning systems, and NASA's research. The rise in asymmetric warfare and cross-border conflicts has increased the need for armored vehicles.
In addition, the operational or battlefield zones are often located in or near the ground control stations (GCSs), despite being thousands of miles away from the aircraft's location. This proximity makes using UGVs and other ground-based vehicles essential for effective coordination and control of operations.
Command & control segment held the highest CAGR in 2022
The command & control segment is projected to hold the highest CAGR share in the coming years, primarily due to the escalating concerns around border security and terrorism. The increasing military spending in several countries is also driving the development of this segment. The command & control system comprises various components, including hardware, software, computer processes, exceptional standards, an interface, and applications, enabling communication at multiple levels of command.
The demand for command & control systems is rising as they provide effective solutions for situational awareness, decision-making, and communication in complex operations. These systems facilitate efficient communication among different units and enable real-time monitoring and control of critical infrastructure. As the need for real-time information and decision-making increases, the adoption of command & control systems is expected to grow.
Soldier radios segment is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR rate over the forecast period
The soldier radios segment is expected to grow at the fastest CAGR rate in the forecast period due to increasing demand for wireless communication with higher sound quality and advancements in product technology to deliver portable devices. Technological advances have made Soldier radios smaller, lighter, and less expensive. Moreover, they offer better sound quality and high-tech features like location tracking, contributing to their popularity.
The growing need for faster communication and advancements in wireless communication technology drive the segment's growth. Tactical radios are designed specifically for military use to ensure a reliable connection to all soldiers on the battlefield, even in difficult environmental conditions. They can transfer various data types, including images, video, audio, and other data.
Next generation network segment is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period
The next-generation network (NGN) segment is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate in the market. The next-generation network (NGN) aims to provide robust broadband communication by managing end-to-end service quality (QoS). It facilitates delivering all services and data, including voice data and calls, audio files, and multimedia files such as videos. A packet-based mobile network can establish voice and data connections through the NGN.
The NGN has advanced features, such as improved call quality, video conferencing, and multimedia messaging, making it a highly desirable communication option. The growing demand for these features in both developed and developing countries is driving the growth of the NGN segment.
Upgradation segment is projected to exhibit the fastest growth rate during the forecast period
The upgradation segment is expected to experience rapid growth in the coming years due to advancements in various technologies and products.
