Radio Headset Market Expected to Reach $6.9 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Radio Headset Market," The radio headset market was valued at $4.4 billion in 2021 and is estimated to reach $6.9 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.9% from 2022 to 2031.

The radio headset is equipped with advanced wireless receiving technology, primarily used across military & defense, aviation, construction, and other sectors. Radio headphones are broadly classified into three types: noise-canceling radio headphones, Bluetooth headphones with AM or FM tuners, and standard AM/FM radio headphones. In addition, the rise in demand for radio communication solutions across military and defense sectors is anticipated to drive market growth in the coming years.

The growth of the radio headset market trends is majorly driven by the rising in demand for military & defense solutions coupled with the growing traction of radio communication headsets in the industrial and construction sectors. Furthermore, a rise in demand for aviation solutions is anticipated to drive market growth. However, stringent spectrum regulations from the government is acting as a prime restraint of the market. On the contrary, advancement in communications technologies is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the expansion of the radio headset industry during the forecast period.

According to radio headset market analysis, the headset segment was the highest contributor in 2020, due to a surge in the adoption of radio headset solutions across the military & defense, and Aviation sectors. The aviation and military segments collectively accounted for around 58.8% market share in 2020. The surge in the adoption of next-generation state-of-the-art radio communication technology in aviation and military solution has led the growth of the radio headset in the military and aviation sectors; thereby, enhancing the radio headset market growth.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has significantly impacted the growth of the radio headset market, owing to a significant impact on prime market players. Conversely, a rise in demand for the cheapest radio headset solution is anticipated to drive the market post-pandemic. However, the lack of availability of a professional workforce due to the partial and complete lockdown implemented by governments restrains the growth of the radio headset market. On the contrary, the emerging economies significantly witness the need for radio communication headset solutions such as 3m radio headphones and radio headset with mic that are expected to boost the radio headset market size.

According to Himanshu Jangra, Lead Analyst, Semiconductor and Electronics, at Allied Market Research, “The radio headset market share is expected to witness considerable growth, owing to increase in demand for next-generation radio communication solutions across military & defense, construction, and aviation sectors, especially in the U.S., China, Japan, and South Korea, due to rise in demand for digital infrastructure solution in these countries.”

Country-wise, the U.S. holds a significant share in the radio headset market, owing to the presence of prime players. The adoption of next-generation state-of-the-art radio communication solutions and devices across prime sectors has strengthened the growth of the radio headset market in the region.

The key players profiled in the report include 3M, Code Red Headsets, Honeywell International Inc., MSA Safety Incorporated, Pilot Communications USA, Ray talk Communications Ltd., Roanwell Corporation LLC, Sonetics Corporation, Television Equipment Associatiosn, Inc., and Telex Communications, Inc. Market players have adopted various strategies, such as product launch, collaboration & partnership, joint venture, and acquisition to expand their foothold in the radio headset market.
