Low-Cost Satellite Market Size To Expand at a Notable CAGR Of 8% During 2018 - 2023
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
asuccessful and cost-effective makeover of the domain of satellite systems. A
number of companies such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Planet Labs, OneWeb,
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.
