The satellite internet market size is expected to grow from US$ 3.67 billion in 2022 to US$ 19.38 billion by 2030; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 23.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Analyst Perspective:

The rising demand for high-speed internet connectivity for homes and offices is one of the major factors boosting the growth of the satellite internet market. In addition, the increasing need for high-speed connectivity for mission-critical and disaster-management applications and inflight Wi-Fi connectivity for commercial aviation and private jets is further boosting the demand for fast satellite internet. Also, the growing investment by the market players in this segment is further fueling the growth of the market. Moreover, the rising need for connectivity for education and infrastructure development projects in rural areas and by researchers and scientists in the Arctic region and oceans is creating an opportunity for the growth of the satellite internet market. Furthermore, due to the limited or no presence of telephonic cables in high-altitude mountains, the need for internet access by satellite at weather broadcasting stations and for live media broadcasting is increasing, fueling the market growth in the forecasted period.

Market Overview:

Satellite internet is the process of accessing the internet through communication satellites, usually geostationary satellites. It is location-independent and provides connection anywhere as it provides global coverage. It is the ideal solution for places where the internet quality is unreliable or poor or places where terrestrial internet connectivity is unavailable. In addition, it is an ideal solution for users who live in rural areas or remote areas. Also, it uses satellite dishes for two-way communication, because of which there is no need for land-based internet solutions such as telephone cables or lines. Moreover, compared to other internet options, it provides less or negligible network outages, making it an ideal option for remote areas.

Growing Investment in Satellites Internet is Creating an Opportunity for the Growth of the Satellite Internet Market

As the need for satellites for high-speed connectivity in rural and remote areas is increasing, the investment for the development and launch of satellites is also growing tremendously. Various government authorities and companies have invested and are investing significantly in market growth. For instance, in November 2021, Fleet Space Technologies announced that they had raised US$ 26 million in funds for the expansion of the nanosatellite IoT connectivity fleet. Similarly, in April 2022, the German parliament announced that they would be investing US$ 10.51 million (10 million euros) in the small satellite initiatives. Also, in July 2023, Amazon announced that it would be investing US$ 120 million to build a satellite construction facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center as part of its plans to launch a space internet service to rival SpaceX's Starlink. Through its Project Kuiper, the company will be able to provide fast, affordable satellite broadband internet to unserved and underserved communities around the world with a constellation of more than 3,200 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). In November 2022, the European Union announced that it had secured a US$ 6.2 billion (EUR 6 billion) deal to develop its own system, with an aim to have the system up and running by 2027. For this, the European Commission (EC) will be providing funds of US$ 2.5 billion (EUR 2.4 billion) from other EU programs, and the remaining US$ 3.7 billion will be generated from investment from the private sector. Thus, such investment from the governments of different countries and companies will propel the satellite internet market growth in the forecasted period.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on frequency band, the satellite internet market is segmented into L-band, C-band, K-band, and X-band. The K-band segment held the largest satellite internet market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The K-band frequency is used for different applications, which include its use in speed and safety radars. Also, with lower prices, simpler mass production, and higher reliability, K-band monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) technology is an emerging trend that enables the realization of K-band power amplifiers and low noise amplifiers on a compact die. In addition, K-band MMICs are used in fixed satellites, digital point-to-point radio communications, and local-multipoint distribution services (LMDS). Thus, the use of K-band for the above application is fueling the segment's growth in the satellite internet market.

Regional Analysis:

North America is expected to witness significant growth in the satellite internet market in the forecasted period. The US holds the largest satellite internet market share in 2022. The market is witnessing tremendous growth due to the presence of various key companies in the region, which includes EchoStar Corporation, SpaceX, Telesat, and others. These market players are continuously working on providing innovative solutions to provide high-speed connectivity in the region. For instance, in July 2023, EchoStar launched a powerful new communications satellite atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket that will deliver broadband service across nearly 80% of North and South America. Such innovations by the market players will fuel the satellite internet market growth in North America.
