Man-portable Communication Systems Market Size, Share, and COVID Impact Analysis, By Platform (Land-based, Naval-based, and Airborne-based), By Application (Software Defined Radios (SDR), Satellite Communications (SATCOM), Smartphones, Homeland Security, and Others), By End-user (Industrial, Defense, and Commercial), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A man-portable communication system is a collection of compact, handheld, and wearable devices for on-site and tactical defense communications. The system comprises software-based portable radios, intercoms, personal digital assistants (PDAs), transceiver smartphones, and transceiver smartphones.

Man-portable communication systems are widely deployed on military aircraft and ships to protect voice transmissions and data with anti-jamming characteristics. These systems effectively reduce the noises produced by sirens and military equipment while enhancing the success rate of military operations. The rising use of portable electronic devices increases the demand for effective autonomous man-portable communication systems. Further, with the quick increasing penetration of wireless access in the telecommunication network will enhance the quality of services for man-portable communication systems.

• According to DataReportal, quoted by Oberlo, there are 4.95 billion active Internet users. Considering a worldwide population of 7.91 billion people, an internet penetration rate of around 62.6%.

Therefore, the above mentioned factors will contribute to the global man-portable communication systems market's growth throughout the forecast period. However, defense power issues and budget cuts may stymie the global man-portable communication systems market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Man-portable Communication Systems Market

The COVID-19 impact on the man-portable communication systems market has been average. During the pandemic, connectivity mattered more than ever. Various industries, including law enforcement agencies, initiated their operations to stay more active in following social distancing rules and regulations. Further, emergency service providers were equipped with a portable, wireless communication system to enhance the team's effectiveness during a public emergency.

• In 2021, PwC declared an increase of 7.8% in the global defense budget compared to the previous year, with emerging countries like Israel, India, Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, and Vietnam improving their defense budgets by an average of 23%.

Hence, the rising spending by countries on providing their defense forces with modern communication technology has resulted in rising demand for man-portable communication systems.
