Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market
Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Satellite type (Small Satellite, Medium Satellite, and Large Satellite), by Application (Communication, Earth Observation and Remote Sensing, and Others), and by End-User (Civil and Commercial, and Military) Forecast Period (2022-2028) Update Available - Forecast 2024-2030
The global LEO satellites market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 14.1% during the forecast period. One of the key factors that are boosting the market is the rising commercial applications of a satellite. Factors such as the growing connectivity of electronic devices, the miniaturization of satellites, and the increasing demand for LEO satellite constellations across industries are contributing to the growth of the market.?For instance, in February 2022, SpaceX launched forty-nine Starlink satellites in Florida from NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC). These satellites are expected to expand the existing constellation of more than 1700 LEO satellites to offer faster satellite internet.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market
The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the financial investments of countries across the globe. It also restricted the manufacturing of subsystems, satellites, and components owing to the lockdown across the globe which dented the supply chain, material availability, transportation, and limited workforce. Although satellite systems are critically important the disruptions delays the scheduled launches. However, as the situation got normalized, the market boosted with multiple satellite launches.
Segmental Outlook
The global LEO satellites market is segmented based on the satellite type, application, and end-user. Based on the satellite type, the market is segmented into small satellites, medium satellites, and large satellites. Based on the application, the market is segmented into communication, earth observation, remote sensing, and others. Other application includes science and technology. Based on the end-user, the market is sub-segmented into the civil and commercial, and military. The above-mentioned segments can be customized as per the requirements. Based on the end-user, the military segment is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market while based on the application, the communication segment is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period.
Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market Share by End-User, 2021 (%)
The Military Segment Expected to Hold the Prominent Share in the Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market
The military segment is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market during the forecast period owing to the multiple applications of LEO satellites in defense. The perception of using hundreds of small satellites across LEO for the military to perform missile warning, communications, and other military missions has been discussed and dismissed for years owing to the immense launch cost projections. However, with the rapid technological advancement over the past few years with rising defense budgets in nations across the globe, the military sector is now considering launching satellites in LEO. Countries such as the US, the UK, India, South Korea, Russia, France, Japan, and China are all expressively investing in military satellites importantly on LEO for several applications. For instance, in April 2020, Darpa partnered with Lockheed Martin for the 1st stage of satellite integration for project blackjack, a military low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. Lockheed Martin managed interfacing between Blackjack’s payload, bus, and Pit Boss in the build-up to the launch of a demonstration constellation in 2021-22.
Regional Outlooks
The global LEO satellites market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and Others), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Others), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). The market can be analyzed for a particular region or country level as per the requirement. Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share in the market while the Asia-Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period.
Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market Growth, by Region 2022-2028
The North America Region Anticipated to Hold the Prominent Share in the Global Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Satellites Market
The North American region is expected to hold a prominent share in the market during the forecast period. The US government has been increasingly financing advanced LEO satellite technologies to boost the effectiveness and quality of satellite communication. The increasing financial budget on satellite equipment to improve surveillance and defense capabilities of the armed forces, critical infrastructure, modernization of existing communication in military platforms, and law enforcement agencies using satellite systems, are some of the key factors expected to fuel the LEO satellite market in the region. For instance, in 2021, 28, 0.25U CubeSat SpaceBEE was launched by Swarm Technologies. The CubeSat is observed as one of the smallest, two-way communications, satellites for IoT across the globe.
Market Players Outlook
The major companies serving the global low earth orbit (LEO) satellites market include Blue Canyon Technologies Inc., Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Planet Labs PBC., Space Exploration Technologies Corp., Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (Airbus SE), and others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in February 2021, ABL Space Systems, of California, a developer of low-cost launch systems and launch vehicles for the small satellite industry, was awarded a contract by Lockheed Martin, for supplying a rocket and associated launch services for the UK vertical satellite launch.
