The Latin America, Middle East and Africa SATCOM on the Move Market is expected to witness market growth of 15.4% CAGR during the forecast period (2025-2032).
The Brazil market dominated the LAMEA SATCOM on the Move Market by country in 2024, and is expected to continue to be a dominant market till 2032; thereby, achieving a market value of $2.81 billion by 2032. The Argentina market is expected to witness a CAGR of 16.1% during 2025-2032. Additionally, the UAE market is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.3% during 2025-2032. The Brazil and UAE led the LAMEA SATCOM on the Move Market by Country with a market share of 28.6% and 13.9% in 2024.The South Africa market is expected to witness a CAGR of 16.6% during throughout the forecast period.
Satellite Communications On-The-Move (SOTM) is slowly growing in the LAMEA region because of the growing need for defense, maritime, disaster relief, and remote connectivity. Early adoption was limited by infrastructure, budgets, and technical maturity, but expanding commercial and regional satellite capacity - such as GEO and HTS networks - has enabled mobile terminals for land, sea, and air platforms. Governments and businesses are using SOTM increasingly for border patrol, maritime fleets, mobile command centers, and disaster response. At the same time, rugged, low-SWaP, modular antennas are becoming more important for use in tough terrain and remote areas.
Forming partnerships with local operators or integrators, offering bundled terminal-plus-connectivity solutions, and focusing on modular, upgradeable, multi-band designs are all important ways to grow the market. Getting anchor government contracts and showing that you can be trusted in flagship deployments helps build credibility and get people to use your product. Competition is still new and not very organized. Global OEMs have an edge in technology and certification, while regional players use their knowledge of the area to their advantage. Vendors are increasingly setting themselves apart by offering software, network orchestration, and lifecycle support. Instead of selling separate pieces of hardware, they are offering integrated solutions to meet LAMEA's wide range of operational and environmental challenges.

Frequency Band Outlook
Based on Frequency Band, the market is segmented into Ku-band, Ka-band, L-band, Multi-band and Other Frequency Band. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.3% over the projection period, the Ku-band Market, dominate the Brazil SATCOM on the Move Market by Frequency Band in 2024 and would be a prominent market until 2032. From 2025 to 2032 The L-band market is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.8% during 2025-2032.End Use Outlook
Based on End Use, the market is segmented into Defense & Military, Commercial Enterprises, Aviation & Maritime, Government & Public Safety and Other End Use. The Defense & Military market segment dominated the UAE SATCOM on the Move Market by End Use is expected to grow at a CAGR of 13.6 % during the forecast period thereby continuing its dominance until 2032. Also, The Government & Public Safety market is anticipated to grow as a CAGR of 15.4 % during the forecast period during 2025-2032.Country Outlook
Brazil's SATCOM On-The-Move (SOTM) market is affected by its large size, the fact that it has dual-use satellite infrastructure like SGDC, and the need for defense modernization that needs strong, mobile connectivity in land, air, and sea. Embraer, Telebras, and Visiona are some of the domestic companies that help with terminal development and building up local capacity. Working with countries like China makes it easier to share technology. Some important trends are modular, multi-band terminals that can work with current military and commercial satellites, software-defined systems, and better beam steering for moving around in remote areas. Global OEMs and local partners compete, and procurement favors companies that have a track record of reliability, interoperability, and a willingness to localize or transfer technology. This means that Brazil's SOTM market is slowly growing but strategically focused.List of Key Companies Profiled
