Market Overview


 According to Market Research Future (MRFR), the global mobile satellite services (MSS) market will reach a staggering $8.52 billion by 2030. It is expected to display a CAGR of 7.45% during the forecast period (2022-2030). Mobile satellite services are used in two-way voice and data communications to workers in distant and remote locations. Improvements in satellite communications, launch of new satellites, and focus on new communication networking technologies are latest trends to affect the market in a positive manner.


COVID-19 Analysis


The COVID-19 pandemic has impeded the launch of mobile satellite services coupled with slowing down the supply chain. Government contracts in Asia Pacific (APAC), North America, and Europe are expected to be completed providing a ready stimulus to the global mobile satellite services market. But the smaller suppliers can get affected negatively owing to the slow trickle down of payments.


In the long run, MSS companies and firms are taking initiatives to ensure the timely delivery of services while prioritizing the health of their employees and clients. For instance, Blue Origin has decided to allocate its 3D printers for the mass manufacture of visors to be used by healthcare workers. The development of vaccines for curbing the spread of the COVID-19 virus has led to space agencies to collaborate by observing the changes to the environment during this period.


Market Dynamics


Drivers


Interoperability across Devices to Spur Market Demand


Interoperability of devices regardless of the location can drive the demand for mobile satellite services. The ability of MSS for connecting with fixed satellites is expected to work in favor of the market. Changes in standards and architecture designs that allow secure exchange of data can lead to further investments in the market. Dipping prices of processors and storage devices coupled with launch of cube satellites can facilitate the trend.


Opportunities


Natural Disasters to be Lucrative for Market Growth


Natural disasters have uprooted numerous lives over the decades, with communication and response management being key to lowering casualties. Mobile and satellite services are expected to gain accelerated demand owing to satellites being integrated in emergency response systems and utilization by governments for gathering seismic data for preventing disasters can bode well for the global mobile satellite services market.  


Restraints


Dynamic Policies and Regulations to Hamper Market Growth


Irregular changes in policies and lack of vehicles for small satellites can hamper market growth. New tax laws and aversion to privatization of the space sector can deter investments in the mobile satellite services market. Large time taken for approvals and lack of policies for small and medium enterprises to expand their footprint can negatively impact market growth. The dearth of clarity on liabilities can lead to hesitation among investors and impede the market.


Cumulative Growth Analysis


The global mobile satellite services market is bound to attain growth at a rapid pace owing to the urgency among countries for strengthening their communication services. Enhanced customer experience as well as capability of delivering messages to the public simultaneously is possible due to mobile satellite services. Partnerships and acquisitions are prime strategies witnessed in the market for players to gain advantage in the market.
