Recent Developments

For instance, In June 2016, Viasat opened a new R&D center in Chennai, India. The new center aims at improving the connectivity in the region by providing high-speed broadband services to the end-users. This new center has reinforced its geographical presence in Asia.

Furthermore, in March 2017, Intelsat partnered with Kymeta. Kymeta is involved in providing mobile connectivity solutions. The aim of the partnership was to streamline the process of purchasing satellite services. They developed new KALO service, a software, that became available at the end of 2017. This KALO service introduced a simplified way to purchase satellite services for direct users, integrators and service providers, which has eased the process of purchasing of satellite services up to a certain extent.

Based on type, the consumer services segment accounted for the highest share in the market in 2018. This is attributed to the noteworthy performance of satellite television and satellite broadband services in the developing regions. In Asia-Pacific, satellite broadcasting is in high demand. However, the cost of the broadband connection along with the subscription cost of many over-the-top media (OTT) services is an affordable option in Asia-Pacific

Based on end-user industry, the media & entertainment segment has accounted for the highest share in the market in 2018. This is attributed to the increased demand for satellite television services in developing economies such as India, China, Brazil, and others. 

Based on region, North America has accounted for the highest share in the market in 2018. This is attributed to the presence of key players in North America. The U.S. holds around 38 to 39% of share in the global satellite services market. This is owing to healthy growth of the remote sensing and fixed satellite services segment in the region. The aerospace and defense segments are anticipated to be the end-user industry to experience rapid growth in North America.
