Satellite Ground Station Market Report 2023
The Satellite Ground Station market is projected to grow from $61.5 Billion in 2023 to $115.4 Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 13.4 % during the forecast period.
According to a new report from MarketsandMarkets, Increased Deployment of satellites ground stations for serving Ground Station as a Service (GSaaS) users is driving the market.
Based on Orbit, the Low Earth Orbit segment of the Satellite Ground Station market is projected to hold the highest growth rate during the forecast period. Ground stations most often employ the VHF (Very High Frequency) and UHF (Ultra High Frequency) bands for low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which orbit at heights of up to 2,000 KM (≈1,242 miles) above the Earth's surface. These bands provide fast data rates and are ideal for LEO satellite communication. They are, however, susceptible to interference from other sources, such as terrestrial radio transmissions.
Based on Frequency, the C band segment is projected to dominate the market share during the forecast period. Due to its ability to pass through clouds, rain, and vegetation, the C-band frequency is frequently employed in satellite communication and is therefore perfect for applications requiring dependable data transfer in inclement weather.
The Satellite Ground Station market industry has been studied in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Rest of the World. North America accounted for the largest market share in 2022. The US leads the market in North America with a large number of companies and startups operating in the industry. The country is also home to some of the world's leading Satellite Ground Station manufacturers and operators. The market is expected to expand owing to the demand for satellite -based services such as communications, remote sensing and navigation.
