By Component & Deployment Model

• Infrastructure has led investment, making up ~60–63% of spend .

• Managed & professional services represent significant growth (~18% CAGR) .

• Deployment splits into centralized vs distributed (distributed ~58% market share in 2024) .

 By Applications & Verticals

• Usage spans public safety, asset tracking, surveillance, remote diagnostics, and mission-critical communications .

• Leading verticals: manufacturing (~29%), mining, oil & gas (~22–23% CAGR), utilities, transport, healthcare, defense, and smart cities .

 Key Players

Among the dominant and rising players:

• Ericsson, Nokia, Huawei, Samsung, Qualcomm, Cisco, Verizon .
