What are the market dynamics of the global tactical communication market?

Though the defense budgets are increasing at a slow pace in most countries globally, spending on C4ISR systems is poised to increase significantly, leading to a steady rise in demand for tactical communication equipment over the forecast period. The move towards a greater international presence by the European Union (EU) and NATO forces, coupled with a desire for interoperability, has compelled Europe’s governments to increase their spending on C4ISR systems, with a strong focus on tactical communication systems. Several countries in the region have undertaken programs to upgrade or replace their existing tactical radios. For example, the UK is replacing its Bowman communications systems, which have been used by the British Army, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force for the past three decades, through its Morpheus program. France is also investing in its CONTACT tactical radio modernization program, which aims to equip the country’s fleet of navy ships, aircraft and military vehicles with advanced software-defined radio systems.

Amplifiers are electronic devices that increase the voltage, current, or the power of a signal. To reduce operator controls and interface, continued improvements have been made to the amplifiers to allow auto-tuning. These third-generation units are expected to provide maximum output with minimum power usage, making it operable with just about any single or multi-band “handy-talkie” transceiver. High-speed electronically switched filters ensure that the system can keep up with hopping modes of operation and keep minimum interference to and from other nearby communications systems.

Quantum communication will be a major focus for defense organizations in the coming years and a source of significant investment to counter advances in quantum cryptanalysis, which poses a significant threat to the security of future communication. Quantum Key Distribution (QKD), as well as providing advanced encryption, can also provide information about when communications have been intercepted, thereby increasing the security of current communications. China currently has an edge in communications through ground-based QKD and the development of quantum technology in satellites. Large-scale quantum decryption is not thought to be imminent, with the first signs likely coming around 2030 – the bigger change will be the ability to increasingly encrypt information through QKD in a way that cannot be accessed by foreign adversaries.

What is the segment classification in the global tactical communication market?

The market consists of three categories: platform-based, stationary, and man-portable. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to be dominated by the platform-based segment, followed by stationary, and man-portable.

Driven by large-scale procurement as well as upgrade programs that are being undertaken by several nations across the world, the platform-based segment is expected to increase at a considerable pace in the global market over the forecast period.

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors.

This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
