Global Satellite Data Service Market Growth

Satellite data service is defined as the activity which entails the assembly, analysis and dissemination of satellite-acquired information which can be used in various fields such as agriculture, military, environment, and disaster management. Such services typically provide worldwide coverage, which means that information can be obtained from far-flung or difficult territories. It enhances the satellite data service demand growth as it allows for the real-time use of data for containment activities like forecasting and tracking of disasters, which requires the provision of very minute detailed geographical information. Satellite data services are economically favourable as they eliminate the unnecessary need for ground surveys and assist in effective resource management. They are also very important in environmental aspects such as climate surveillance and preservation practices, hence such services can not be avoided in the more developed countries for operations and decision-making.

Global Satellite Data Service Market Analysis

The increasing need for satellite communication of earth observation data is the primary factor driving the expansion of the growth of the satellite data service market. Campaigns using satellites are ongoing in key sectors such as agriculture for precision farming, environmental monitoring for deforestation effects analysis, and disaster management for effective coordination of resources to respond to disasters. Satellite images are useful in facilitating observation of large areas that are otherwise inaccessible in person to obtain information on things like the conditions of crops, rainfall, and the change in land use. This growing need for accurate, up-to-date information has compelled many economic sectors to seek the services of satellite data which in turn increases the market demand and drives the technological development.

The proliferation of satellite data for defence and security purposes is considerably accelerating the satellite data service industry growth. Countries and military establishments use satellites for reconnaissance, intelligence, and watching wars, frontiers, and army movements. Timely and accurate high-definition images are provided by satellites which help in effective decision-making during defence missions. The need for sophisticated and accurate information urges the acquisition of relevant satellite technology and services, thereby expanding the market. However, with the increase in geopolitical tensions, the demand for more surveillance and intelligence has progressed the use of satellite data services all over the world.

The factors that affect the satellite data service market dynamics and trends are changing due to the commercialisation of outer space which has seen penetration by private players in launching satellites and providing data services that are relatively cheaper and innovation-friendly. Firms such as SpaceX among others have lowered the cost of deploying satellites enabling launches to be done more often and availing satellite information to more people. This has speeded up the innovation of satellite systems and services resulting in an explosion of satellites for different applications. The rapid adoption of satellite data across various industries because of technological advancement and cost reduction.

Satellite Data Service Industry Outlook

According to the Defense Systems Information Analysis Center (DSIAC), as of May 2022, China had a total of 541 satellites in various orbits, including low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), geosynchronous orbit (GEO), and elliptical orbit. These satellites account for roughly 10% of the 5,465 man-made satellites orbiting Earth, according to data from the Union of Concerned Scientists' Satellite Database. Among China's satellites, 137 are affiliated with the People's Liberation Army (PLA), 189 are operated by the Chinese government, and 215 are owned by private commercial entities or universities. A significant portion of these satellites—289—are used for Earth observation, while 100 focus on technological development, 67 on communications, and 49 on global positioning services. The breakdown of orbits shows 426 satellites in LEO, 29 in MEO, and 78 in GEO. China’s expanding satellite presence significantly boosts the satellite data service market revenue.

The U.S. space economy’s 2022 GDP of $131.776 billion signifies a robust investment in space-related industries, including satellite data services. As more satellites are launched and space activities expand, demand for satellite data storage, processing, and analysis will drive growth in the satellite data service market.

In Japan, the rapid expansion of the global space business, with the market projected to grow from USD 469 billion in 2021 to USD 1 trillion by 2040, will significantly boost the satellite data service industry revenue. As more satellites are deployed, the demand for data processing, analysis, and storage will grow across sectors like communications, Earth observation, and defence.

Satellite data services provide worldwide access to data, even in remote or inaccessible areas driving the satellite data service market demand.
