Moreover, the growing use of satellite IoT solutions for defense applications, such as to protect borders, communication in remote areas, and real-time data transfer, is further fueling the growth of the satellite IoT market. Furthermore, the rising demand for satellite IoT for transforming corporate sustainability by reducing the travel time of the worker to manage and track the devices at remote sites will prevent millions of tons of CO2 emissions, creating an opportunity for the growth of the satellite IoT market.

Satellite IoT Market Overview:

Satellite IoT is an IoT service provided by networks of satellites. It enables interconnectivity between objects such that they can communicate and relay orders without requiring any human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Satellite internet of things provides organizations the ability to reliably monitor, track, and manage application connectivity. Its usage can be found across all industry verticals, from the maritime market to machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, as well as in agriculture, transportation, oil and gas, utilities, construction, and others. Furthermore, various largest heavy equipment Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) in the world rely on satellite IoT devices to remotely monitor and manage deployed assets. For example, Kobelco Construction Machinery (KCM) recently partnered with Iridium to integrate Iridium’s two-way satellite communications into its hydraulic excavator machinery, heavy equipment, and remote asset management platform. Through these IoT services, KCM equipment is now fitted with truly global coverage.

Satellite IoT Market Driver:

Growing Number of Satellites Launches Drive the Growth of the Satellite IoT Market.

The number of satellite launches is increasing globally because of the rising need for satellites in various applications, which includes tracking, monitoring, and managing assets to ensure the safety of the workers and improve remote operations. According to several space agencies, on average, ~466 SmallSats were launched per year during 2012–2021, and it is expected to increase to 1,846 SmallSats launches per year during 2022–2031. For the launch of these 4,663 SmallSats during 2012–2021, the governments of various countries and companies invested ~US$ 23.1 billion, and it is expected that they will be further investing US$ 84 billion during 2022–2031. In addition, the number of space rocket launches, primarily for deploying satellites in space, is also rising rapidly. In 2021, there were 136 successful rocket launches, whereas in 2022, the number rose to 180. In September 2022, it was seen that 16 orbital launches took place, of which 8 took place in China, 6 in the Americas, and Europe and Russia conducted one each. Furthermore, Falcon 9 launched 191 Starlink broadband satellites, and SpaceX launched 1,465 Starlink satellites in 2022.

Again, in January 2023, China launched 14 satellites atop a Long March-2D carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern China's Shanxi Province. The 14 satellites included Qilu-2 and Qilu-3, Luojia-3 01, and Jilin-1 Gaofen 03D34. In February 2023, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced the successful deployment of three satellites into their intended orbits via SSLV-D2 vehicle. In July 2022, Vaya Space, Inc. announced that they had signed an agreement with All2Space to launch its satellite constellation with Vaya Space. All2Space is a developer of CubeSat and is also a launch aggregator with the Brazilian Space Agency. Thus, the growing number of satellite launches will help to provide strong IoT connectivity worldwide, driving the satellite IoT market growth.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on frequency band, the satellite IoT market is segmented into L-band, Ku and Ka-band, S-band, and others. The Ku and Ka-band segment held the largest satellite IoT market share in 2022 and is anticipated to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The Ku and Ka-band frequency is used for different applications, which include its use in speed and safety radars. Also, Ka-band satellite communications (SATCOM) frequencies open up new possibilities for meeting high bandwidth demands, particularly for small aerial, maritime, and mobile land platforms supporting network-centric activities beyond the line of sight. The Ku-band frequency is most recognized for its application in satellite broadcasting. It is widely used in the satellite communications field. Newsfeeds, educational networks, teleconferences, sports and other backhauls, entertainment programming, and foreign broadcasting are all common uses for high-powered satellites in digital television. Thus, all the above factors are fueling the growth of the segment in the market.
