The US market is expected to witness a CAGR of 13.6% during throughout the forecast period.

The cognitive radio market in North America has grown thanks to a mix of military-led research, regulatory updates, and new business models. Dynamic spectrum access, shared-spectrum frameworks, and intelligent radio systems that can sense and adapt to changing environments were all built on early work by DARPA, the FCC, and the NTIA. As SDR technologies developed and the ecosystems for 5G, IoT, and the emerging 6G grew, cognitive radio moved from being mostly used for defense to being more widely adopted in smart cities, industrial automation, public safety, and connected mobility. AI- and ML-powered cognitive engines that improve spectrum prediction, interference avoidance, and real-time adaptive communication help drive this evolution.

Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and RTX Corporation are among the largest defense OEMs shaping the competitive landscape. They stay on top by investing heavily in research and development, working with the government, and using integrated system architectures. At the same time, new small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are entering the market with AI-based radio solutions designed to work best for businesses and commercial use. Modular SDR platforms, end-to-end communication suites, and vertical-specific offerings for defense, public safety, aerospace, and industrial IoT are among the strategic initiatives underway in the industry. The market keeps growing as cognitive radio becomes necessary for reliable, fast, and smart communication across North America. This is thanks to regulatory support, shared-spectrum models like CBRS, and more wireless traffic.

Component Outlook

Based on Component, the market is segmented into Hardware, Software and Services. The Hardware market segment dominated the Canada Cognitive Radio Market by Component is expected to grow at a CAGR of 16 % during the forecast period thereby continuing its dominance until 2032. Also, The Software market is anticipated to grow as a CAGR of 17 % during the forecast period during (2025 - 2032).

End Use Outlook

Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Telecommunication, Government & Defense, Transportation and Other End Use. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9% over the projection period, the Telecommunication Market, dominate the US Cognitive Radio Market by End Use in 2024 and would be a prominent market until 2032. The Transportation market is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.4% during (2025 - 2032).

Free Valuable Insights: The Cognitive Radio Market is Predicted to reach USD 27.94 Billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 15.0%

Country Outlook

The US is the world leader in developing cognitive radio. This is due to strong FCC and NTIA spectrum policies, early academic research, and innovation driven by DARPA. As demand for wireless grows in 5G, IoT, defense, and industrial systems, spectrum congestion and national security needs also rise. Adoption is accelerating across all sectors. More telecom networks, defense platforms, public safety systems, and new 6G projects now use cognitive engines that work with AI and ML. Lockheed Martin, RTX, and Northrop Grumman are among the biggest defense contractors working on SDRs and smart spectrum tools. Qualcomm and Cisco are also big players in this field. Together, these ecosystem parts put the U.S. at the forefront of next-generation communication technologies and dynamic spectrum access.
