Surging spending on defence activities amid growing geopolitical tensions, the increasing complexity of modern warfare, and rising security challenges like regional conflicts and terrorism are boosting the SATCOM equipment market revenue. In 2023, the United States spent around USD 820 billion on national defence during FY 2023. With increasing military spending, investments in advanced SATCOM technologies such as military-grade terminals, high-throughput satellites (HTS), and satellite communication terminals for secure communication in remote areas and battlefields are surging.
The rising air traffic is driving the demand for satellite-based communication systems to provide in-flight connectivity and offer services such as real-time flight tracking, Wi-Fi, and passenger entertainment. In FY 2023, air traffic movement in India stood at 327.28 million compared to 188.89 million in FY22. With the growing focus on aircraft safety, the demand for reliable and satellite-based communication systems for weather data exchange, navigation, and aviation safety protocols is rising.
As autonomous vehicles rely on real-time data exchange for navigation, safety, and coordination with other vehicles and infrastructure, the demand for SATCOM systems to provide global coverage and enable autonomous vehicles to navigate safely in rural or off-road environments is increasing. The increasing launch of autonomous vehicles by key players is surging the demand for SATCOM equipment. In March 2025, WeRide and and Renault Group to offer free autonomous Robobus trial service in the center of Barcelona for showcasing the maturity and potential of automated transport technologies in complex and dense urban environments.

SATCOM Equipment Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
The increasing rollout of 5G networks is revolutionising the SATCOM equipment market landscape. Reportedly, 5G population coverage, outside mainland China, is projected to surge from 45% in 2024 to around 85% in 2030. Due to the higher throughput and reduced latency, 5G networks revolutionise satellite communication by enabling faster and more efficient data transmission and improving real-time data exchanges, making it ideal for sectors like autonomous vehicles, telecommunication, and cloud computing, among others. 5G networks also support the integration of satellite networks and terrestrial 5G, enabling seamless handover between satellite and ground-based networks to provide global and uninterrupted coverage.
The robust growth of the IT and telecom sector and the increasing demand for global internet access across rural, remote, and underserved regions are surging the requirement for SATCOM equipment to provide broadband connectivity in areas that lack terrestrial infrastructure. In addition, the growing digital transformation and the increasing demand for virtual collaboration and remote work are boosting the demand for SATCOM equipment to provide always-on and global connectivity.
Expanding internet connectivity; deployment of next-generation satellite constellations; growing trend of sustainability; and technological advancements and innovations are favouring the SATCOM equipment market expansion.
Increasing efforts to expand internet coverage in remote and hard-to-reach areas such as deserts, mountains, and oceans are surging the demand for satellite communication equipment to support communication networks. Moreover, the growing demand for mobile satellite internet services to support internet connectivity on ships, vehicles, and airplanes is boosting the development of advanced SATCOM equipment.
The growing deployment of next-generation satellite constellations, especially Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations, is increasing the requirement for advanced ground equipment such as phased-array antennas, flat-panel antennas, and mobile terminals to track and communicate with rapidly moving satellites. With the expansion of satellite constellations, the demand for equipment that can scale to accommodate growing satellite networks is increasing.
With sustainability emerging as a priority in almost every sector, SATCOM equipment manufacturers are using recyclable and eco-friendly materials in the production of satellite antennas, terminals, and other ground equipment. Manufacturers are also investing in more efficient and cleaner manufacturing processes to reduce the carbon footprint associated with producing SATCOM hardware, optimise energy use, implement sustainable practices in the production chain, and reduce waste.
Technological advancements and the development of miniature and cost-effective satellite systems are revolutionising the SATCOM equipment market landscape. Artificial intelligence and machine learning are supporting SATCOM systems to predict demand, optimise satellite beam steering, and automatically allocate bandwidth while facilitating predictive maintenance, reducing maintenance costs, and minimising downtime.
Key players in the market are developing Higher Throughput Satellite (HTS) to improve data throughput, enable higher bandwidths, provide fast and efficient communications, and enable services such as cloud computing, 4K video streaming, and real-time data transfer. Advancements in satellite communication technology are leading to the miniaturisation of SATCOM equipment for use in different sectors, including military and defence.
In the SATCOM equipment market, there is a growing trend of integrating edge computing with SATCOM equipment to enable real-time data processing at the edge of the network, improve overall system performance, and reduce latency, making it ideal for applications such as remote monitoring, autonomous vehicles, and disaster response, among others.
