The U.S. market represents the largest share of the North American two-way radio landscape due to high federal and state-level spending on law enforcement, emergency medical services, and disaster management. Agencies such as FEMA and DHS allocate substantial budgets for upgrading mission-critical communication systems, favoring digital LMR technologies such as P25. Strong demand persists in industries like oil & gas, utilities, and manufacturing where real-time communication is vital. Despite this, the market faces challenges from mobile LTE-based communication systems, which are increasingly integrated into fleet and workforce management. Nevertheless, regulatory mandates favoring secure and redundant communication support the ongoing use of dedicated two-way radio infrastructure. A growing opportunity lies in school safety programs, where districts are investing in encrypted two-way radios to enhance campus security. The rise of cloud-managed communication networks is a trend that allows for centralized control and monitoring, improving deployment efficiency. U.S. manufacturers are also focusing on lightweight, body-worn models with integrated emergency alerts and GPS tracking. Interoperability across jurisdictions is driving demand for unified communication solutions. The U.S. two-way radio market remains resilient and continues to innovate around enhanced audio clarity, extended battery life, and cybersecure communication capabilities.
