The
Low-Cost Satellite Market Is Estimated To Register A CAGR Of Approximately 8%
During The Forecast Period Of 2018 To 2023.
Market Highlights
The usage of
small and low-cost satellites are paving the way for a successful and
cost-effective makeover of the domain of satellite systems. A number of
companies such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Planet Labs, One Web, and SpaceX
are primarily focusing on the launch of small and lightweight satellite
systems, in order to reduce the costs associated with the satellite launch. As
a result, in the recent years, a large number of small and low-cost satellites
placed in the lower and higher orbits in the space. Many of the developing
nations have also shown a keen interest in the utilization of satellites such
as CubeSats (U-class spacecraft). These satellites use enhanced
electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor systems to obtain images of Earth.
In the recent
years, there have been some major developments of small and low-cost satellite
systems, which drive the market growth. Some of them have been mentioned below:
In
November 2016, Scotland-based Clyde Space signed a contract with Canada-based
Kepler Communications, to manufacture two nanosatellites. These satellites
would provide enhanced telecommunications network across Canada.
In
September 2016, San Francisco-based Planet Labs, signed a contract worth $20
million with the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), to provide
small satellites for earth observation (EO) missions in the LEO.
The global
low-cost satellite market has been segmented by satellite type, function,
end-user, and region. On the basis of satellite type, the low-cost satellite
market is divided into nano-, micro-, and others. In 2017, the micro satellite
segment dominated the global market and it is expected that the nano satellite
segment would witness the fastest market growth, during the forecast period.
This is primarily because of the large number of micro satellites being
launched in the recent years, by a number of countries. Similarly, in an
attempt to reduce the satellite launch costs, extensive investments are being
done on the nano satellite systems. 
On the basis of
function, the low-cost satellite market is divided into communication, imaging,
and others. In 2017, the communication segment dominated the global market and
is also expected to witness the fastest growth, during the forecast period. 
This is primarily
due to the rapid advancements in high-speed communication technologies along
with the introduction of the 5G technology. On the basis of end-user, the
low-cost satellite market is divided into commercial and military. In 2017, the
commercial segment dominated the global market and it is expected that the
military segment would witness the fastest growth, during the forecast period.
This is primarily due to the increasing commercial applications through the
satellite services in the recent years such as earth observation,
meteorology, scientific research & exploration, and mapping &
navigation, among others.
