INVISIO has positioned itself as a leader in advanced communication systems. With an updated addressable market estimate of SEK 25 billion annually (approximately €2.19 billion), the company is poised to capitalize on opportunities across Europe, the United States, and Asia.

Thanks to a recent study published by the company, we could have a comprehensive understanding of INVISIO's regional prospects. In addition, thanks to their release, we can deduct broader market trends in personnel systems, in-vehicle communication solutions, and intercom systems.

Regional Perspectives: Europe, US, and Asia

Europe and the United States remain INVISIO's core markets, accounting for approximately 85% of its revenue. These regions are characterized by technologically advanced defense forces and heightened awareness of hearing protection issues. In Europe, recent orders such as a SEK 115 million (€10.1 million) contract for Intercom and dismounted soldier systems underscore strong demand for proven solutions that enhance operational efficiency in critical environments. Similarly, the United States has shown robust interest in INVISIO's offerings, including collaborations with the Defense Innovation Unit to develop wireless tactical communication systems like INVISIO LINK.

In Asia, the company sees growing potential as defence budgets expand and modernization efforts accelerate. While historically lagging in investments for advanced communication systems, Asian countries are now adopting these technologies at a rapid pace. Initial orders from new markets in Asia have already been secured, paving the way for larger contracts in the future. This region represents a significant growth opportunity due to its large number of active soldiers—approximately 20 million globally—with many nations now prioritizing hearing protection and digital communication integration.

Broader Market Trends: Personnel Systems, In-Vehicle Communications, and Intercom Systems

According to the INVISIO report, the market for personnel systems is experiencing substantial growth due to increased user numbers and product advancements. INVISIO estimates the annual value of this segment at SEK 9 billion (€788 million), up from SEK 5 billion (€438 million). This growth is driven by modernization programs in Europe and North America, where approximately 2.3 million potential users have been identified. The ULTRA LYNX product line exemplifies how expanded offerings and higher average prices per user are fuelling market expansion.

In the public safety sector—encompassing police, firefighters, and coastguards—the market is newer but equally promising. With an estimated one million potential users globally, this segment's annual value has risen to SEK 2 billion (€175 million). The increase reflects broader user adoption and higher procurement intervals.

INVISIO's solutions for vehicle crew members operating in loud environments have seen remarkable growth. The annual addressable market for these systems is now valued at SEK 1.5 billion (€131 million), tripling from previous estimates of SEK 0.5 billion (€44 million). This surge is attributed to higher average prices per user and a refined focus on crew members rather than passengers.

The company's ability to offer seamless communication within vehicles has been bolstered by innovations like INVISIO LINK and INVISIO CONTROL. These products enable wireless communication around vehicles and simplify system management, making them integral to modern military operations.

The most dynamic growth area lies in intercom systems, which bridge communication between mounted and dismounted personnel. INVISIO estimates an annual market value of SEK 12.5 billion (€1.09 billion), up from SEK 7 billion (€613 million). This significant increase stems from expanded applications and complementary product launches that enhance system versatility.

The Intercom system addresses diverse operational needs by offering both portable solutions and fixed installations for vehicles. Its ability to integrate with personal communication devices ensures seamless interaction between team members during transit or stationary operations.

Key Market Drivers

Several macro-trends underpin these developments:

1) Defence forces worldwide are replacing outdated equipment with advanced digital solutions that improve situational awareness and operational efficiency.

2) Heightened geopolitical tensions have led to increased defence spending, particularly in Europe and North America.

3) The integration of body-worn devices with real-time data-sharing capabilities is becoming standard in both military and public safety sectors.

4) Growing recognition of the costs associated with hearing loss has elevated demand for solutions that protect users without compromising communication clarity.

While the market offers immense potential, it is not without challenges. High barriers to entry—such as lengthy procurement processes, rigorous testing requirements, and long-term framework agreements—favour established players like INVISIO. Customers increasingly prefer proven solutions that minimize their need for customization or modifications, giving INVISIO a competitive edge. Additionally, the company's strategic investments in R&D (approximately 15% of annual revenue) ensure a steady pipeline of innovative products tailored to evolving customer needs.
