Description

Overview

Novaspace’s Capacity Pricing Trends, 8th Edition report analyzes current satellite capacity pricing across regions, applications, and infrastructure. It provides detailed insights into evolving pricing dynamics, including service-level pricing and the impact of disruptors like Starlink, alongside a review of trends over the past 12–18 months and short-term forecasts. The report also examines cost economics, including capex efficiency and next-generation system cost structures.

 

Why It Matters to you

This report helps you understand how pricing is shifting across the satellite communications market and what’s driving those changes. With insights into short-term pricing trends, cost structures, and competitive pressures, it enables you to benchmark pricing, optimize strategy, and make informed decisions in an increasingly price-sensitive and competitive environment.

 

Key Questions Answered  

  • What are current and expected pricing dynamics for video applications?  
  • Which data applications are still high-ARPU/premium value segments? 
  • Who is really competing with the rising NGSO constellations on a cost per Mbps basis? 
  • What levels of $/GB can satellite industry reach now? How competitive are other terrestrial and non-terrestrial solutions? 
  • Should terrestrial MNOs be concerned about Starlink entry-level pricing evolving the unit economics? 
  • What speeds, GB allowances and prices prevalent in the market today? How can service provider compete? 

 

Key Components/Elements

 

The report includes a pricing analysis focused on Capacity (wholesale) and Service (end-user).

 

Capacity pricing is split across:

  • Satellite Infrastructure (Regular or widebeam, GEO-HTS, NGSO-HTS)
  • Bands (C, Ku, Ka, Mil-Ka, Mil-X)
  • Regions (9 land regions & oceans for mobility)
  • Applications (Video distribution/DTH, video contribution, Enterprise, Trunking/backhaul, Consumer Broadband, Milsatcom and Mobility)

 

Service pricing is increasingly becoming important with the commoditization of capacity and is therefore also becoming an important part of the report. The report database includes

  • Satellite broadband plans (by advertised speeds, GB allowances, regions active etc.)
  • $/GB and $/Mbps economics
  • Starlink service pricing DB
  • Mobility pricing DB
