Significant Growth of the Public Safety-LTE Market in North America

Posted by Tom C on August 6th, 2024

The Public safety LTE market is expected to be valued at USD 5.9 billion in 2020 and is likely to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2025; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21.1% during the forecast period. 

Increase in demand for unmanned vehicles globally and adoption of LTE technology to eliminate the existing interconnectivity issues between different networks seamless data connectivity offered by LTE technology are driving the growth of the PS-LTE market during the forecast period.

The growth of the PS-LTE market in North America is largely driven by an increase in the number of terrorist attacks; the occurrence of natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, forest fires, and earthquakes; and cyberattacks in the region. For instance, the 9/11 attack in the US triggered the requirement for public safety communication as there were several cases of communication breakdown among different government agencies during this attack.

PS-LTE infrastructure market is expected to dominate in the Europe region
The growth of the PS-LTE market for infrastructure in Europe can be attributed to the ongoing initiatives in the region to replace the fully functional TETRA network with PS-LTE systems by 2020. Europe launched the emergency services mobile communications program (ESMCP) in 2013 that aims to provide LTE-based communication systems to first responders. Under this program, a new network, known as the emergency services network (ESN), is being developed. In June 2019, the Home Office of the UK allowed US-based Motorola Solutions to provide software for this ESN network while UK-based EE Limited developed the network infrastructure.

Law enforcement & border control application for commercial LTE segment is projected to hold the largest share during forecast period
The growth of the law enforcement & border control segment for commercial LTE can be attributed to the high popularity of commercial LTE deployment model in this application owing to low initial costs and reduced time of deployment. Commercial LTE deployment model uses existing networks of commercial carriers to provide public safety services to first responders. Furthermore, no network CAPEX is required in this deployment model, making it ideal for public safety agencies, which demand quick and low-cost PS-LTE services.

PS-LTE market is dominated by globally established players such as Motorola Solutions (US), Nokia(Finland), Hytera(China), General Dynamics(US), and AT&T (US).
