A walkie-talkie (more formally known as a handheld transceiver, or HT) is a hand-held or mobile, two-way radio transceiver. Its development during the Second World War has been variously credited to Donald L. Hings, radio engineer Alfred J. Gross, and engineering teams at Motorola. Similar designs were created for other armed forces, and after the war, walkie-talkies spread to public safety and eventually Utilities and Rail Transit and jobsite work. Major characteristics include a half-duplex channel (only one radio transmits at a time, though any number can listen) and a "push-to-talk" (PTT) switch that starts transmission. Typical walkie-talkies resemble a telephone handset, possibly slightly larger but still a single unit, with an antenna mounted on the top of the unit. Where a phone"s earpiece is only loud enough to be heard by the user, a walkie-talkie"s built-in speaker can be heard by the user and those in the user"s immediate vicinity. Hand-held transceivers may be used to communicate between each other, or to vehicle-mounted or base stations.

Global key players of walkie talkie include Motorola, JVCKENWOOD, Hytera, Icom, Tait, etc. The top five manufacturers hold more than 70% of the global share. The global origins are mainly distributed in North America, Europe, China, Japan, South Korea, etc. Asia Pacific has the largest consumption market, with a market share of over 35%. In terms of product type, digital walkie talkie is the largest segment with about 73% share, while in terms of downstream, government and public safety is the largest downstream segment with 40% share.
