Satellite connectivity market to reach $22.12 billion, globally, by 2031 at 7.3% CAGR

Allied Market Research recently published a report, titled, “Satellite Connectivity Market by Component (Video, Fixed, Mobility), by Orbit (Elliptical, GEO, LEO, MEO), by End User (Civil and Earth Observation, Government and Military, Commercial): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031”. As per the report, the global satellite connectivity industry was pegged at $11.12 billion in 2021, and is expected to reach $22.12 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031.

Major determinants of the market growth
Increase in government investment in space exploration and surge in satellite launches have boosted the growth of the global satellite connectivity market. In addition, increase in adoption of satellite constellation supplemented the market growth. However, high initial investment and stringent government regulations regarding satellite launches hinder the market growth. On the other hand, surge in demand for satellite data and growing integration of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing are expected to open new opportunities in the future. The report offers a detailed analysis of changing market trends, top segments, key investment pockets, value chain, regional landscape, and competitive scenario.

Covid-19 scenario:

• The Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market. The outbreak forced governments to implement strict lockdown and ban import and export activities of raw materials.
• The prolonged lockdown led to dearth of raw materials for manufacturing satellite connectivity component.
• Adverse impacts of Covid-19 pandemic resulted in delays in initiatives and activities regarding development of advanced satellite connectivity components.

The fixed segment to manifest the highest CAGR through 2031
By component, the fixed segment is estimated to portray the highest CAGR of 8.9% during the forecast period, due to rise in demand for satellite connectivity for fixed services throughout the world. However, the video segment held the largest share in 2021, accounting for around half of the global satellite connectivity market, and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the forecast period. This is owing to high demand for satellite connectivity for video throughout the world.

The LEO segment dominated the market
By orbit, the LEO segment held the largest share in 2021, contributing to nearly three-fifths of the global satellite connectivity market, and is expected to maintain leading position during the forecast period. In addition, the segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period, owing to rise in satellite launches in the LEO orbit by several private players globally.

The commercial segment to showcase the highest CAGR through 2031
By end user, the commercial segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period. In addition, the segment held the largest share in 2021, accounting for more than three-fourths of the global satellite connectivity market, and is expected to continue its dominance from 2022 to 2031. This is due to majority of the satellite connectivity being consumed for various commercial applications throughout the world.

North America held the lion’s share
By region, the global satellite connectivity market across North America held the largest share in 2021, accounting for more than half of the market. This is due to increase in R&D activities, technological developments by key players, and rapid adoption of innovative technologies in making advanced, reliable, precise, and efficient satellite connectivity systems. However, the market across Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR of 9.9% during the forecast period, owing to rise in procurement and development of advanced satellite connectivity systems across several Asian nations, for instance, China, India, Japan, and South Korea.
