What Are The Essential Drivers Behind The Growth Of The Tactical Communication Market?
The escalation of government spending on military applications is anticipated to spur the growth of the tactical communication market in the future. Military applications involve obtaining, researching, developing, testing, evaluating, and training related to tactical gear, vessels, airplanes, equipment, and weapons owned or used by the government's military forces. Tactical communications are used in these applications to convey information between commands, individuals, or locations on the battlefield, specifically orders and military intelligence. As a result, the increase in government spending on military applications is stimulating the tactical communications market. For example, in April 2024, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, an independent, non-profit organization based in Sweden, reported that total global military expenditure had risen to $2443 billion in 2023, a real-terms increase of 6.8% from 2022. Russia's military spending saw a 24% rise to an approximate $109 billion in 2023, reflecting a 57% surge over the past nine years. Consequently, the escalating government spending on military applications is fuelling the growth of the tactical communication market in the future.
