Market Trends of MNS Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Mass Notification Systems Market according to our research experts:
Increasing Adoption of MNS in Healthcare Sector
- MNS is a communication broadcast tool that can simultaneously contact large numbers of people with minimal effort on the part of the system administrator. In the healthcare sector, MNS serves two purposes communicating periodic messages for events, such as inventory counts, and alerting staff, patients, and visitors to emergencies.
- The digitally connected environment and efficient clinical communication have become indispensable in the healthcare sector, which has paved the path for the growth of the MNS. For example, the Norwegian Directorate of Health uses Everbridge Public Warning to communicate with 5.4 million Norwegian citizens, including thousands of visitors roaming on mobile networks. Norway uses the same system to notify Norwegians traveling in countries with a high risk of COVID-19 of changes to quarantine procedures on their return.
- Last year, OnSolve, a prominent MNS provider, strengthened its partnership with the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA) to power the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines to newly eligible Rhode Island residents. This expanded partnership supported vaccine distribution efforts when Rhode Island residents 16 years of age or older became eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine and will now support the expanded eligibility to residents 12 to 15 years of age.
- Country-wise regulations determine the type of mass notification system its healthcare facilities can use. For instance, America's Disabilities Act specifies that healthcare facilities must have an emergency alert system suitable for hearing-restricted and sight-restricted patients.

North America is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- The design standards, such as UFC and the National Fire Protection Association, address the functional criteria and installation standards for emergency communications and mass notification systems and have been the launchpad for emergency communication standards for non-military facilities, such as offices, hospitals, and schools.
- The growing adoption of Internet Protocol (IP) based notification devices is one of the key factors driving the market's growth in this region. IP-connected computers, smartphones, and telephones are increasingly integrated with on-premise MNS solutions, such as fire alarms and security sensors. Furthermore, rising BYOD trends across educational facilities and corporations are another major factor boosting the market growth in the future.
- The Valentine's Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School resulted in the deaths of 17 people. While there is no universally accepted definition of a mass shooting, there is no doubt that these large-scale acts of violence have increased in recent years. As a result of these activities, the US government is increasingly focusing on public safety. Recently, the Boston government announced a series of investments to support public safety for a growing city. Mass notification systems are thus an essential component.
- The Kirksville City Council approved purchasing a mass notification system from ReGroup. The agreement is a five-year deal, and the city has reportedly spent USD 6,500 for the first year and USD 5,500 in subsequent years till this year.
- The increasing demand for fast message delivery in emergency cases, the development and adoption of pioneering technologies, and the presence of major companies like Blackberry, Motorola, Honeywell, etc., in this region are the major factors driving the market. Furthermore, the rising adoption of duress-based solutions in enterprises across education and healthcare end-users contributes to the growth.
