The push to talk market size is projected to reach US$ 81.53 billion by 2031 from US$ 34.52 billion in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.3% in 2023–2031. The growing demand for network devices, wireless devices, and software is likely to remain a key push to talk market trends.
The push to talk market is growing at a rapid pace due to the growing adoption of rugged and ultra-rugged smartphones and the rising adoption of hybrid communication solutions. The market is expanding steadily, driven by the increasing investment by the public sector for the installation of digital land mobile radio (LMR) systems. Moreover, the development of long-term evolution (LTE) network-based push to talk solutions and the evolution of 5G technology are providing lucrative opportunities for market growth.
Push to talk (PTT) allows users to communicate instantaneously with wireless cellular phone handsets by switching from voice transmission to voice reception. This form of phone use is similar to walkie-talkie usage. Push to talk enables one person to speak at a time while transitioning a phone from full duplex mode, in which both parties can hear each other simultaneously, to half duplex mode. There may be more than one person in the conversation. Users use push to talk applications on their cell phones to serve as walkie-talkies. These apps do not require any additional rights or licensing, and consumers can install them on their smartphones just like any other program. Users can also use this to converse with iOS or Android phones. A variety of new trends are driving the evolution of technology. Growing security concerns, interoperability, and seamless integration with other communication technologies are driving the market.
Rugged and ultra-rugged smartphones are becoming increasingly popular among consumers across the globe due to the growing demand for robust, dependable, and resilient mobile devices. Rugged and ultra-rugged smartphones are highly demanded by numerous industries, including government and defense, transportation and logistics, energy and utilities, construction, manufacturing, and others, to seamlessly operate in harsh environments. The growing integration of push to talk functionality in rugged and ultra-rugged smartphones makes them indispensable tools for professionals and adventurers operating in harsh conditions. These factors are anticipated to fuel the market during the forecast period.
Enterprises are increasingly using advanced LTE networks to implement push to talk solutions, which is expected to create opportunities in the market during the forecast period. The introduction of LTE networks in mobile communication has replaced land-mobile radio (LMR) communication technology. Several organizations are implementing LTE networks to enhance communication. This adoption has begun the creation of a massive bandwidth architecture that can support mission-critical push to talk, push-to-locate, push-to-message, and push-to-alert communication services. Furthermore, industries such as public safety, government & defense, transportation & logistics, and others are incorporating LTE-powered solutions into their varied business applications to boost workers' productivity and efficiency, optimize their workflow, and minimize corporate hardware costs.
However, the growing implementation of wireless technologies such as WLAN and LTE in push to talk devices enhances effective communication in larger areas. This is boosting demand for cost-effective LTE network-powered push to talk solutions.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the push to talk market analysis are component, enterprise size, network type, and end-user.
The geographic scope of the push to talk market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South America/South & Central America.
In terms of revenue, the North America market accounted for the largest push to talk market share, owing to the presence of telecom service providers and proof-of-concept vendors such as Motorola Solutions and AT&T Intellectual Property and increased penetration of core communication technologies. The rising consumer need for cost-effective and efficient solutions is driving the market. The market in the US is projected to expand in the near future due to the growing adoption of push to talk solutions in a variety of end-use industries, including government and defense, public safety, healthcare, and others.
