Broadband Satellite Services Market Report 2025

The broadband satellite services market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.57 billion in 2024 to $6.26 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.4%. The expansion during the past period was driven by growing demand for high-speed internet, the development of telecommunication networks, increased broadband adoption in remote regions, growth in enterprise satellite connectivity, and a rise in satellite launches.

The broadband satellite services market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $9.87 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. Future growth is expected to be driven by the wider adoption of high-throughput satellites, the expansion of satellite internet offerings, rising demand for low-latency broadband, increasing investments in satellite communication infrastructure, and growing requirements from maritime and aviation sectors. Key trends include innovations in high-throughput satellite technology, advancements in beamforming and frequency reuse, development of low-earth orbit broadband constellations, integration of satellite and terrestrial networks, and progress in adaptive bandwidth management.

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, 64% in 2022, and 36% in 2021, 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.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

Broadband satellite services are communication networks that provide high-speed internet and data connectivity through satellites orbiting the Earth. They operate by relaying signals between satellites and ground stations, offering coverage across extensive areas, including remote locations where traditional network infrastructure is unavailable.

The primary categories of broadband satellite services include consumer broadband, enterprise broadband, and government and defense broadband. Consumer broadband delivers fast and reliable internet to households, supporting activities such as streaming, online communication, and digital applications. These services utilize satellites in geostationary, medium, or low Earth orbits and operate across various frequency bands such as the communication band, K band, Ku band, and very high frequency (VHF) band. Applications include internet access, data transfer, and telecommunications, serving end users such as residential customers, SMEs, large corporations, and others.
