Satellite cables and assemblies market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period (2024-2031). The demand for satellite communication services is being driven upward by high-speed internet, broadband services, and media content delivery on a global scale. Development in satellite technologies, and low earth orbit satellite constellations, is improving connectivity on a global level. Aerospace and defense market growth is also being accompanied by 5G network expansion and the need for a global navigation system. Satellite cables and assemblies are required to provide seamless integration with the ground networks and support the 5G infrastructure in rural and underserved areas. Technological advancements in the materials and emerging markets also drive the demand for satellite cables and assemblies.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Demand for Global Connection and Mobility
The increasing demand for global connectivity and mobility develops a market for satellite cables and assemblies. This is a backbone of global communication networks that requires reliable and efficient cable systems for data transfer and power distribution. According to the World Economic Forum, in April 2024, the space economy is projected to grow from $630 billion in 2023 to $1.8 trillion by 2035, driven by increasing global connectivity and mobility. This annual growth rate of 9% is significantly higher than the expected global GDP growth rate of 5% over the same period. Further, the space economy is growing at a rate of 6-8% per year and contributes to approximately half of the revenues that are going to be generated worldwide from the payments industry - around $3.2 trillion by 2027.
Expansion of 5G Networks
Satellite communication, which is more significant at infrastructural levels in underdeveloped or rural places, catalyzed more growth of 5G networks, and as such developed the need for more complicated cables to connect satellites effectively. According to the 5G Americas Org., in March 2024, reported that there were 1.76 billion global connections in 5G, with a 66% increase from the addition of 700 million new connections. In North America, 5G accounted for 29% of all wireless cellular connections. The total number of 5G connections reached 197 million by the end of the year growing 64% in a year with 77 million new connections. In Latin America, LTE connections stood at 582 million and reached 40 million more in one year, and 5G connections reached 39 million at the end.
Market Segmentation
Small Satellite Segment is Expected to Hold the Largest Market Share
The demand for small satellites is driving innovation in lightweight, high-performance components that can endure the adverse conditions of space. For instance, in August 2024, ISRO launched the EOS-08 Earth Observation Satellite onboard the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-D3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
Cables Segment to Hold a Considerable Market Share
Satellite cables and assemblies play a vital role in satellite systems to facilitate communication, data transmission, and power supply. It is used in various applications such as broadcasting, earth observation, and navigation. Coaxial, fiber optic, power, twisted pair, and high-frequency are the types of cables used. Miniaturization, increasing satellite constellations, emerging technologies, and space exploration are pushing the market forward, along with 5G networks driving advancement.
Regional Outlook
The global satellite cables and assemblies market is further segmented based on region including North America (the US, and Canada), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific), Europe (the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America).
Demand for Earth Observation Satellites Is Growing In the Asia-Pacific Region
India's earth observation satellite launch is expected to boost demand for high bandwidth cables and fiber optics for reliable data from space to ground stations. In June 2024, the government has planned to raise 12 earth observation satellites partially through a PPP model to boost the domestic private space sector demand. The incentives to boost demand for the domestic private space sector include the establishment of a PPP model for earth observation satellites as well as encouraging domestic launches of rockets.
Global Satellite Cables and Assemblies Market Growth by Region 2024-2031
North America Holds Major Market Share
North America region has a significant market share owing to the US-based satellite deployment and the high demand for space-based broadband services in the global satellite cables and assemblies market. In August 2024, AST SpaceMobile obtained the commercial license but under strictly limited terms through an FCC license to its commercial BlueBird satellites to orbit at low Earth orbit and launch the five largest communication arrays ever commercially launched in that orbit. This can operate space-based cellular broadband services to every ordinary smartphone in any location in the US, close the digital divide, enhance emergency communications, speed digital transformation, and promote US direct-to-device regulation.
