Computer Aided Dispatch Market by Components (Services and Software), Deployment Type (On-premise and Cloud-based), Verticals (Transportation, Public Safety, Power & Utilities, Government & Defense, Healthcare, and Others), and Region (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031

The global computer aided dispatch market size was USD 1.70 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 4.42 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 11.26% during 2023–2031. The market growth is attributed to the increasing exposure to connected devices, going on digitalization, and growing prominence on public safety.

In order to record incident calls, receive the status and updates of the responder, organize the dispatch, and dispatch the responders accurately, the dispatchers and 911 operators use computer aided dispatch (CAD) solutions.

CAD solutions are widely used among government agencies and law enforcement to effectively manage emergencies. The major focus of such agencies is to ensure quick retaliation to warnings associated with natural calamities and criminal activities.

Acquisition of CAD solutions is also increasing across the globe due to the foundation of advancement in these solutions. The crime rate is increasing rapidly in several parts of the world which prompted the local government to ensure the maximum safety of the general public resulting in hostile spending on Computer Aided solutions for the safety of the public.

For instance, an announcement was made by the Government of India in 2014 to invest approximately USD 52 million for the deployment and integration of CAD platforms in the country.

The cad dispatch centers and public safety answering points (PSAP), also known as public safety radio systems, are set and operated by independent agencies. On the other hand, it has been noticed that the usage of different CAD solutions by different agencies leads to interoperability and incompatibility issues.

In an effort to overcome this problem, a single point of contact is being opted for by public safety agencies. Acquisition of such a solution reduces the overall cost of operation as well as addresses the issue of interoperability.

The market report finds that the COVID-19 pandemic has positively impacted the growth of the market, due to concerns related to public health have increased which also resulted in a rising urge for emergency health services worldwide.

Furthermore, the various key players in the market are shifting their center of attention towards the development of advanced computer aided dispatch software that has the feature to respond to COVID-19 providing improved and better services in the case of emergency throughout the pandemic. Hence, the pandemic had a positive impact on the computer aided dispatch market, especially on health emergency services.
