Increasing number of aircrafts at global level to support K, Ka segment growth

Aircraft communications happen on 12.5GHz to 18GHz frequency which is supported by K, Ka segment. Increasing air traffic across the globe due to increasing disposable income and introduction of low cost carrier will allow the segment to grow at CAGR of more than 7% between 2020 and 2026. For instance, there are more than 24,000 commercial aircrafts across the globe with year on year growth of more than 5%.
 

Economical installation process and low operational cost to support new VSAT market players

Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) is expected to witness of over 7% CAGR through 2026 due to engagement of new industry players posing requirement of VSAT communication for limited timeframe in a 24 hour cycle. TDM refers to a multiplexing technique where a total available bandwidth is allocated to a single user for a particular timeframe. Each signal is allocated a time slot which is then passed on to another user on its completion. By this approach even new enterprise who cannot afford establishment of complete infrastructure can get access to personalized VSAT network.

Increasing rate of cyber-attacks and data piracy to generate demand for private networks

The private networks segment captured more than 13% VSAT market share in 2019 and is expected to witness 7% growth rate between 2020 to 2026. Increasing digitization across the globe and growing adoption of remote working model has generated the demand of private networks at enterprise level. Rising cyber threats and data piracy attacks have forced these organizations to ensure utmost safety during operations, further supporting demand for private networks.
 

Introduction of new telecommunication technologies augmenting meshed network segment growth

The meshed network valued over USD 4 billion in 2019 and is predicted to reach USD 8 billion by 2026. The segment growth is propelled by significant number of commercial satellites launches to strengthen global communication network. Ongoing project developments in 5G internet services in multiple countries will present potential growth prospects. For instance, in January 2020, China launched its first private 5G low orbit broad band satellite from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
 

Increasing logistics network through waterways to support naval market

Gradual globalization, liberation of trade policies across the globe and increasing manufacturing capacities within Asia Pacific countries has spurred marine logistics. On an average there are more than 50,000 ships globally using VSAT network to ensure communications. Continuous rise in number of ships will also generate the demand of VSAT market.
 

Increasing political and border disputes in oceans, allowing nations to increase their marine fleet capacity or marine upgradation contracts practiced by range of military bodies also plays a major role in governing market statistics. For instance, in May 2020, Navantia, Spain established a joint venture with Harland & Wolff Ireland to pitch the manufacturing of three logistics ships to support Royal Navy’s new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers.
 

Versatile services provided by industry players operating in North America to spur market competitiveness
