Global command and control room/PSAP market: to reach $7 billion by 2019
According to a research note from Alex Richardson, analyst for Critical Communications at IHS, and the recently published IHS report “Command and Control Rooms/PSAPs Market – 2015”, the global market for command and control room technologies and services is projected to exceed $7 billion by 2019.
As expectations towards emergency response change, further development of control rooms will be critical to handle the capabilities of future technologies.
Along with changing legislation and initiatives such as Next Generation 911 and 112 and FirstNet, the market has become more dynamic, offering tremendous opportunity to suppliers who can enhance current technology.
Due to demand from major multinational LMR solution providers, the IHS Critical Communications team initiated and has continued research on the command and control room market covering its three biggest verticals: public safety, transportation and utilities.
Each major region has unique trends with regard to command and control, a few of which stand out among the major findings.
Across public safety, transportation, and utilities is an increasing interest in analytical applications and data analysis.
IHS has observed a number of tenders surrounding CAD solutions for instance, where law enforcement agencies have desired a wider range of data inputs and applications.
A second trend, in more mature markets, is a movement toward service-oriented tenders due to the desire to optimize current technologies.
As such, services have become a substantial part of the market in these regions.
Finally, there is huge growth potential across technologies and services in the Indian and Chinese markets, which IHS believes will increase to approximately $929 million in 2019.
