Push to Talk Market Report 2026

The push to talk market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $29.6 billion in 2025 to $33.22 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for reliable communication, increasing public safety communication needs, growth in industrial mobility solutions, expansion in telecom capabilities, rising deployment of secure networks.

The push to talk market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of mission critical communication platforms, growing focus on emergency response communication, rising integration in enterprise communication, expansion of broadband based push to talk services, increasing reliance on field coordination technologies. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of instant communication solutions, growing demand for mission critical communication services, rising deployment of secure voice communication platforms, expanding use of push to talk in emergency communication systems, increasing emphasis on real time field connectivity.

The increasing adoption of the internet of things (IoT) is expected to propel the growth of the push-to-talk (PTT) market in the coming years. IoT refers to a network of physical objects embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity that enables them to collect and exchange data over the internet. As IoT adoption expands across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, utilities, and public safety, the need for real-time, reliable communication systems is rising. Push-to-talk solutions integrated with IoT sensors and automated alerting systems enable instant notifications to frontline workers about equipment anomalies, safety risks, or operational disruptions, allowing rapid response and minimizing unplanned downtime. For instance, in July 2025, the European Commission, a Belgium-based governing body, reported that approximately 40 billion IoT-connected devices were installed globally in 2023, and this figure is projected to increase to 49 billion by 2026, reflecting an annual growth rate of about 7%. Therefore, the growing adoption of IoT is driving the expansion of the push-to-talk market.

Major companies operating in the push-to-talk market are focusing on developing innovative products, such as advanced push-to-talk over cellular (PoC) radios with broadband connectivity, to enhance real-time communication and streamline operational workflows. Advanced PoC radios leverage existing cellular and broadband networks to deliver instant one-to-one and group voice communication, improving collaboration, operational efficiency, and coverage across wide geographic areas. For example, in November 2025, Hytera Communications Corporation Limited, a China-based provider of critical communications solutions, launched its smart PoC radios P50E and P60 at PMRExpo 2025. These devices feature advanced broadband PoC connectivity, rugged designs for frontline professionals, enhanced voice quality, and durability. The radios also support multimedia communication, scalable coverage, and interoperability across multiple platforms and agencies, enabling seamless integration with mobile devices and enterprise systems.
