Cognitive Radio Market Size To Reach $24.7 Billion By 2030

Cognitive Radio Market Growth & Trends

The global cognitive radio market size is estimated to reach USD 24.7 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.6% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. The growth prospects of the market are attributed to the advancement of cutting-edge technologies like 5G, as well as the rising adoption of cognitive radios (CRs) within defense and government organizations. The appeal of optimized spectrum utilization and reduced power consumption has driven the adoption of CRs to fulfill technological needs.

Integrating CR with cloud computing and the Internet of Things (IoT) is poised to have a significant impact on the adoption of cognitive radios. IoT devices have gained prominence in the communication landscape due to their combination with the internet for operational purposes. These devices are anticipated to gather and exchange data efficiently, with spectrum utilization being a critical consideration. Cognitive radio plays a pivotal role in wireless communication by utilizing unused spectrum portions for wireless systems. The integration with cloud computing not only enhances the performance of cognitive radio networks without compromising security but also improves platform accessibility.

The rise of 5G technology is poised to be a pivotal driver for global CR market growth. The increasing prevalence of mobile phones, advancements in wireless communication devices, and the continuous surge in data traffic, coupled with improved network performance in areas such as data capacity, energy usage, bandwidth efficiency, latency, throughput, and cost, have collectively contributed to the emergence of 5G networks. This, in turn, is expected to fuel the growth of the CR market over the forecast period.

Several companies operating in the CR market are adopting strategies such as mergers, acquisitions, partnerships, and innovations to enhance their product offerings to strengthen their foothold in the industry. For instance, in March 2023, Thales Group secured a contract from the Austrian Ministry of Defense to provide over 2,500 SquadNet tactical radios to support the Austrian Army's efforts towards digital transformation. In addition, in August 2023, Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co. KG partnered with MediaTek to achieve the successful validation of the 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) testing platform following the 3GPP Release 17 standard. Such partnerships, along with technological advancements, are poised to fuel the growth of the market over the forecast period.
