Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Push to Talk Market size is expected to reach $43.8 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 10.1% CAGR during the forecast period. The push-to-talk (PTT) technology is a telecommunication method for two-way communication that utilizes the half-duplex mode. This mode is similar to a walkie-talkie, wherein, the communication between the operators takes place at different times. The user is required to press a button on the device to shift to the half-duplex mode from the full-duplex mode, with which, one person can listen while the other talks. The PTT method is majorly used in air traffic telecom systems, cellular technologies, and police radios. Other than these, it can be used in use cases of public safety, manufacturing, transportation, and others.
