The objective of the study is to define, describe, and forecast the global cognitive radio market on the basis of components (software tools, hardware, and services), software tools (radio control and reconfiguration tools, spectrum analyzer, and policy and configuration database manager), hardware (transmitter and reciver), services (proffesional services and managed services), applications (spectrum sensing, spectrum analysis, spectrum allocation, location tracking, and cognitive routing), end-users (government and defense, telecommunication, transportation, and others), and regions [North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America]. The report also aims at providing detailed information about the major factors influencing the growth of the cognitive radio market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and challenges).
The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the global cognitive radio market size began with the capturing of data on the key vendor revenues through secondary research, annual reports, Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), Factiva, Bloomberg, and press releases. The vendor offerings were also taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall market size from the revenues of the key market players. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into several segments and subsegments, which were then verified through primary research by conducting extensive interviews with key individuals, such as Chief Executive Officers (CEOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), directors, and executives. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The breakdown of the profiles of the primary participants is depicted in the figure given below:

The global cognitive radio market is expected to grow from USD 3.45 Billion in 2017 to USD 7.44 Billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.6% during the forecast period. The main driving factors for the market growth are the increasing adoption of the 5G technology and technological advancements in the wireless communication field.
The cognitive radio market is segmented on the basis of components into software tools, hardware, and services. The software tools segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period. Software tools play an important role in the cognitive radio market. Components that are integrated with the hardware of the radio communication systems, such as amplifiers, detectors, and modulators/demodulators, are embedded using the related software tools. Therefore, software tools are an important component of the cognitive radio ecosystem.
On the basis of software tools, the cognitive radio market is segmented into radio control and reconfiguration tools, spectrum analyzer, and policy and configuration database manager. The radio control and reconfiguration tools segment is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period. Radio control and reconfiguration tools enable the reconfiguration of the wireless equipment through the software. They help the users replace or reparametrize the original hardwired components with the software components in the cognitive radio system. Therefore, the increasing adoption of the radio control and reconfiguration tools is expected to fuel the overall growth of the cognitive radio market.
On the basis of hardware, the cognitive radio market is segmented into transmitter and receiver. The transmitter segment is expected to hold the larger market size during the forecast period. Transmitters used in cognitive radios incorporate various functionalities that are software-defined. They help replace the hardware components, thereby making the operations software-driven.
In the services segment, the professional services segment is expected to be the larger contributor during the forecast period. The growth of the professional services segment is mainly governed by the complexity of operations and increasing deployment of the cognitive radio technology in the wireless communication ecosystem.
In the applications segment, the spectrum sensing application is expected to hold the largest market size during the forecast period. The spectrum sensing application of the cognitive radio involves observing and updating the status of the spectrum and the movement of the licensed or primary users, by periodically sensing the frequency band. Spectrum sensing enables the cognitive radio transceiver to sense any spectrum hole or idle spectrum at a particular time, location, or band. It also identifies the way of accessing the spectrum hole without interfering the communication of the primary users.
In the end-users segment, the government and defense segment is expected to have the largest market size during the forecast period. The governments of various countries are focused on developing and implementing advanced communication technologies, such as cognitive radios and Software-Defined Radio (SDR), for serving the requirements of the modern nature of warfare as well as ensuring public safety and security.
The global cognitive radio market is segmented on the basis of regions into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific (APAC), Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Latin America. North America is estimated to be the largest revenue-generating region during the forecast period. This is mainly because in the developed economies of the US and Canada, there is a high focus on innovations obtained from Research and Development (R&D). These regions have the most competitive and rapidly changing cognitive radio market in the world. The APAC region is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the cognitive radio market. Increased awareness about effective spectrum utilization, and business productivity supplemented by the competently designed cognitive radios offered by the vendors present in the APAC region have led APAC to become a highly potential market.
The major issues faced by most of the organizations while incorporating the cognitive radio technology in the wireless communication ecosystem are security concerns, dynamic communication standards, and issues related to interoperability.
The leading cognitive radio vendors are BAE Systems (London, UK), Raytheon Company (Massachusetts, US), Thales Group (Paris, France), Rhode & Schwarz (Munich, Germany), Spectrum Signal Processing (Burnaby, Canada), xG Technology (Florida, US), Nutaq (Quebec, Canada), Ettus Research (California, US), Shared Spectrum Company (Virginia, US), DataSoft (Arizona, US), EpiSys Science (California, US), and Kyynel (Oulu, Finland).
