Europe Tactical Communication Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis - by Platform, Type, Technology and Application

The tactical communication market in Europe is expected to grow from US$3,409.44 million in 2021 to US$ 6,198.27 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.0% from 2021 to 2028.

The Army Futures Command is focusing on network modernization as one of its main goals. The new capabilities are designed to boost the service's capacity and resiliency to compete in high-end battles against near-peer opponents. The Army is pursuing a series of two-year capability sets to fulfill its network goals. According to the service, each set includes many design goals, including a unified network, a shared operational environment, joint interoperability/coalition accessibility, and command post mobility/survivability. Defense communication encompasses all areas of armed forces' information and data transfer for well-organized operations, military surveillance, command, and control. Furthermore, communication relies on a complex and large network of physical components and software to transfer information to individuals across geographic boundaries. For secure data transfer and network infrastructure, evolving communication technologies, such as SATCOM (a high-frequency communication) and ultra-high frequency communication, are replacing traditional tactical communication systems. The rise in modernization is encouraging tactical communication market players to scale up their new communication equipment production volumes by replacing the traditional ones.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Europe tactical communication market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
