Growing Demand For Software Defined Radio In Defense, Public Safety, And Commercial R&D Industries To Boost The SDR Market Demand

Software Defined Radio Industry Overview

The global software defined radio market size is anticipated to reach USD 47.74 billion by 2030, registering an estimated CAGR of 8.2% from 2022 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Software defined radio (SDR) is a technology that aids in the transmission and reception of high-frequency signals over long distances. It offers benefits while resolving spectrum and wireless communication restrictions. Furthermore, the technology has progressed to the point that software defined radio systems with large bandwidth applications that provide high-quality services are now possible. Countries with a significant modern military presence like the U.S., Japan, Germany, South Korea, and Australia are upgrading their communication systems by integrating software defined radio as the new norm.
