Satellites Market by Satellite Mass (Small, Medium, Large), Application (Communication, Earth Observation & Remote Sensing), Orbit (LEO, MEO, GEO), End User, Sub-systems, Frequency and Region - Global Forecast to 2030

Satellites Market by Satellite Mass (Small, Medium, Large), Application (Communication, Earth Observation & Remote Sensing), Orbit (LEO, MEO, GEO), End User, Sub-systems, Frequency and Region - Global Forecast to 2030



The satellites market is estimated to be USD 17.94 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 35.95 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 12.3% between 2024 and 2030.

Increasing demand towards remote and underserved areas globally is the key driver for the satellite market as satellites enable high-speed internet with the support of 5G networks and IoT applications. Satellite miniaturization and low-cost launch vehicles are making satellites more accessible for deployment, thereby causing growth in a myriad of sectors. Of these sectors, defense and security are major contributors by increased investments in reconnaissance, surveillance, and secure communication satellites across the world for national security. Environmental monitoring, disaster management, and agriculture are increasingly demanding Earth observation satellites. Growing momentum of satellite-based navigation systems like GPS, public-private partnerships, and commercialization of space will further propel the market to a level wherein satellite services are indispensable for both commercial and government applications.

“LEO orbit segment is set to dominate the satellites market.”

The LEO segment is to dominate the satellite market on account of optimum balance between coverage, latency, and cost-efficiency. LEO satellites are cost effective as compared to MEO counterparts and lower latencies than those of GEO satellites and, therefore, an optimal choice for applications like global navigation systems, mission-critical communications, and broadband services. Against the background of growing demand for high-speed internet in segments such as aviation, maritime, and rural connectivity, LEOs find more preference over other satellites due to reliability in offering low-latency services. Moreover, the technological advancements from satellite technologies such as digital payloads and beamforming improve the performance from the LEO satellites. This has driven them not only in the commercial spectrum but in the defense sector also, making LEO a significant growth area in the satellite market.

“Defense by application segment is estimated to grow at highest share in forecast period.”

The defense application segment is a significant shareholder in the satellite market because of its fundamental role in national security, intelligence, and defense communications. Satellites provide critical support for surveillance, reconnaissance, and secure communication aspects of military operations by enabling real-time monitoring, gathering of intelligence, and systems for early warning. With the increase in rising geopolitical tensions, the complexity of modern warfare, and investments in SAR and optical imaging for high-resolution tracking, Governments are already shelling out big amounts for a variant of a satellite-based defense system. Demand increases there for a developed anti-satellite defense capability and to protect its space assets. By such significant investments by countries like the U.S., Russia, China, and India, defense holds the largest application segment in the satellite market.

“Asia Pacific is expected to hold the highest market share in 2024.”

Asia Pacific is set to represent the largest share in the satellite market because of heavy investment by key economies such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea in telecommunications, defense, Earth observation, and space exploration. China's BRI and India's ISRO create both domestic and international demand for satellite deployment, but the accelerating growth is because of the high demand for broadband connectivity and 5G networks in underserved areas. Defense satellites for intelligence and surveillance are also gaining takers in this region due to a focus on national security. Besides, the public-private partnerships, the improved miniature satellites technology, and a favorable regulatory environment are strengthening Asia Pacific's position at the top of the satellite market.
