Middle East and Africa Mission Critical Communication Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Component (Hardware, Software, and Services), Technology [Land Mobile Radio (LMR) and Long-Term Evolution (LTE)], and Vertical (Public Safety and Government Agencies, Transportation, Energy and Utilities, Mining, and Others)

The mission critical communication market in the Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 1,175.96 million in 2022 to US$ 1,876.11 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.1% from 2022 to 2028.

Oil and gas production facilities and energy transmission lines are frequently located in isolated and hostile areas. Accidents or shutdowns at these facilities may lead to disastrous consequences, while power outages, gas and water shortage, and accidents may cause disruptions in routine operations. These anomalies may harm these businesses economically, further putting the environment and employees’ lives at risk. 

Therefore, the identification of any issue that may hamper the harmony of operations at oil and gas, and energy transmission facilities is critical. Many widely dispersed facilities with electrical substations, energy distribution pylons, reservoirs, pumping stations, clean water and wastewater treatment plants, pipelines, and storage tanks are operated by power distribution and water corporations . Offshore wind farms and oil and gas rigs, and land-based oil and gas extraction sites are generally located in distant, sparsely populated areas with weak or nonexistent cellular coverage. Therefore, the adoption of mission critical communications systems becomes essential in the energy & utility sector. Modern digital communications solutions, such as Hytera's Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) and TETRA two-way radio portfolios, enable instant push-to-talk (PTT) solutions, which allow people to make instant calls to another person or a group of people from anywhere, at any time. These technologies can also transmit data for crucial distant asset monitoring and connect with other systems, such as telephone networks, to build a comprehensive unified communications platform.
