Key Restraining Factor for the Growth of the Public Safety LTE Market is the Limited Availability of Spectrum
The public safety LTE market for end-use devices is projected to grow at the highest CAGR from 2017 until 2023.
The Overall Public Safety Lte Market is Expected to Be Valued at USD 782.9 Million in 2017 And is Projected to Reach USD 3, 091.3 Million By 2023.
A new report, published by Research and Markets says that government initiatives toward public safety, interoperability concerns, and rising demand for unmanned operations and remote surveillance is driving the public safety LTE market for infrastructure and services. The key restraining factor for the growth of the public safety LTE market is the limited availability of spectrum. For communication purposes, the usable frequency spectrum extends from ~3 kHz to ~300 GHz only.
The public safety LTE market for end-use devices is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The high growth rate can be attributed to the demand for end-use devices arising from the implemented public safety LTE networks during the forecast period. Interoperable devices will rule the market for at least a decade. Companies manufacturing end-use devices that are interoperable with LMR or TETRA network will be benefitted the most.

Law enforcement and border control includes agencies such as police and military. Broadband in public safety gives law enforcement the advantage to access information, stream video, and collaborate in real time. Law enforcement and border control remains the largest application of public safety LTE. The high number of users in this segment is the major reason for a higher share of this application in the said market. The government initiatives on citizen safety and increasing expenditures on public safety and security are expected to drive this market.
