Satellite IoT Market Drivers and Opportunities

Growing Number of Satellite Launches to Favor Market

The number of satellite launches is increasing globally because of the rising need for satellites in various applications, which includes tracking, monitoring, and managing assets to ensure the safety of the workers and improve remote operations. According to several space agencies, on average, 466 SmallSats were launched per year during 2012—2021, and it is expected to increase to 1,846 SmallSats launches per year during 2022—2031. For this launch, SmallSats, the governments of various countries, and companies invested US$ 23.1 billion, and it is expected that they will be further investing US$ 84 billion during 2022—2031. In addition, the number of space rockets launched, primarily for deploying satellites in space, is also rising rapidly. For instance, in 2023, SpaceX notched 98 total orbital launch attempts in 2023 between the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy, and Starship, representing 90% of US launches. Thus, the growing number of satellite launches is fuelling the growth of the satellite IoT market.

Surging Requirement of Satellite-Terrestrial Connectivity

The surging requirement for satellite-terrestrial connectivity is offering various opportunities for the satellite IoT market. A hybrid satellite/terrestrial system is a system employing satellite and terrestrial components where the satellite and terrestrial components are interconnected but operate independently of each other. In such systems, the satellite and terrestrial components have separate network management systems and do not necessarily operate in the same frequency bands. Moreover, various companies are launching hybrid satellites. For instance, Sidus Space, one of the multi-faceted Space and Data-as-a-Service companies, announced the successful completion of launch processing of LizzieSat at the Astrotech Space Operations facility at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. Thus, the requirement of satellite-terrestrial connectivity is offering several opportunities to the market.
