There is no single agreed number — published forecasts for the Mission Critical Communication (MCC) market by 2035 range widely, roughly from ~USD 30 billion on the low end to well over USD 100 billion on the high end depending on how the market is defined and what sub-segments are included. Below I explain why the estimates differ, summarize major published projections with citations, and give a reasoned synthesis you can use when citing a single figure.

What different reports actually project (selected sources)

Market Research Future (MRFR) projects the MCC market to grow from about USD 30.66 billion in 2025 to USD 117.94 billion by 2035 (CAGR ~14.4% for 2025–2035). This is one of the higher full-market estimates.

Future Market Insights (FMI) provides a narrower, technology-specific projection for LTE & 5G for critical communications (a subset of MCC): it forecasts growth from USD 9.9 billion in 2025 to USD 30.8 billion by 2035 (CAGR ~12.0%). That number should not be taken as the whole MCC market but rather the LTE/5G slice.
Future Market Insights

MarketDataForecast / other mid-range analysts commonly estimate the global MCC market in the USD 40–50 billion range by the early-to-mid 2030s (for example, one source projects USD 45.17 billion by 2033). These mid-range forecasts often use more conservative growth assumptions or exclude certain adjacent segments.

MRFR (wireless sub-segment) and similar reports produce separate numbers for wireless MCC: e.g., Mission Critical Wireless Communication forecast of USD 38.63 billion by 2035, illustrating how sub-segment definitions change totals.

Verified Market Research shows an intermediate time horizon (to 2032) with a forecast of USD 81.18 billion by 2032 (again, methodology and scope differ from other firms).
