Broadband Satellite Services Market Report 2026

The broadband satellite services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $6.26 billion in 2025 to $7.02 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for high-speed internet in remote and underserved regions, advancements in satellite communication technologies, rising investment in geostationary and low-earth-orbit satellite networks, early adoption of satellite broadband for enterprise and government applications, partnerships between satellite operators and telecom providers.

The broadband satellite services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $11.04 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of low-earth-orbit mega-constellations for enhanced broadband coverage, integration with 5G and next-generation communication networks, rising demand for emergency and disaster recovery communication services, development of cost-efficient and high-throughput satellite terminals, emphasis on managed services and cloud-based satellite connectivity solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of low earth orbit (leo) satellite constellations, increasing demand for rural and remote internet connectivity, integration of satellite services with 5g and edge computing, growth in satellite-based emergency and disaster communications, rising adoption of satellite broadband in maritime and aviation sectors,.

The demand for high-speed internet is steadily increasing, driving growth in the broadband satellite services market. High-speed internet ensures reliable broadband connections that support rapid, low-latency data transfer for homes, businesses, and public services. This demand is fueled by the rise of data-intensive applications such as video streaming, cloud computing, and remote work, which all require fast and dependable connectivity. Broadband satellite services provide high-speed internet by transmitting data through satellites, making it possible for people in remote or underserved areas to access reliable connectivity without relying on ground-based networks. For example, as of January 2024, 78% of UK premises had access to gigabit-capable broadband, up from 72% in 2023, and 64% in 2022, according to the House of Commons Library.

Companies in the broadband satellite services market are investing in advanced technologies such as high-throughput satellites to improve connectivity. These satellites increase capacity and bandwidth, allowing faster and more reliable internet access for residential, enterprise, and mobility applications, particularly in areas that are hard to reach. In April 2023, the US-based communications company Viasat launched the Viasat-3 Americas satellite, positioned at 88.9° west longitude in geostationary transfer orbit. The Ka-band satellites are designed for highly efficient bandwidth usage and can flexibly redirect capacity to meet demand on land, at sea, or in the air.

In May 2023, Viasat Inc. acquired Inmarsat for $7.3 billion, aiming to combine two leading satellite broadband providers under a single platform to strengthen global coverage and technological capabilities. Inmarsat, based in the UK, offers broadband satellite services across civilian and military applications, and the acquisition expands Viasat’s reach and service capabilities worldwide.
