Military expenditure is rising across APAC countries due to increasing government initiatives to strengthen the military and defense sectors in response to rising warfare and terrorism. According to data published by Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), spending on the military and defense sector increased by 2.6% in 2020. Financial empowerment allows military and defense bodies to acquire efficient communication systems. For instance, with a surge in budget allocations for developments in military communications, electronics, telecommunications, and intelligence (CET&I) technology, several military forces across the region spent significant amounts on the acquisition of communication electronics in 2019. These factors are creating lucrative opportunities for the growth of the two-way equipment market players in APAC.
With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the APAC two-way radio equipment market. The APAC two-way radio equipment market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.
