Satellite Connectivity and Video Market
The 33rd edition of Novaspace’s Satellite Connectivity and Video Market report analyzes the accelerating shift toward data-driven services in satellite communications.
Overview
The 33rd edition of Satellite Connectivity and Video Market provides a comprehensive assessment of global satellite service revenues, capacity demand, pricing trends, competitive dynamics, and operator strategies across video, broadband, enterprise, mobility, government, and defense markets through 2035.
Global satellite services revenues are forecast to grow 44% to reach $145 billion by 2035 as the industry shifts from traditional video toward data-driven connectivity. Data services are expected to nearly quadruple to almost $100 billion, increasing their share of industry revenues from 26% to 68%.
The report examines how NGSO expansion, falling bandwidth costs, evolving multi-orbit architectures, rising government and defense demand, and changing operator strategies are reshaping the global satellite communications market.
This 33rd edition also introduces new and enhanced modeling for Enterprise Networks and commercial MILSATCOM, providing deeper visibility into demand, deployment trends, regional dynamics, frequency bands, and infrastructure.
Key Insights
● Global satellite services revenues will reach $145 billion by 2035, up 44% over the forecast period.
● Data services will approach $100 billion by 2035, increasing from 26% to 68% of total industry revenues.
● Consumer Broadband, MILSATCOM, and Enterprise Networks will lead market expansion, adding $22.6 billion, $19.2 billion, and $17.2 billion in revenues, respectively.
● The satellite capacity market will exceed $46 billion by 2035, more than tripling from 2025 levels.
● Consumer Broadband and MILSATCOM will account for more than half of capacity revenues by 2035.
● Video Distribution’s share of capacity revenues will fall to just 3% by 2035, reflecting the industry’s accelerating transition toward connectivity.
● GEO is evolving alongside NGSO. Renewed GEO orders, software-defined satellites, sovereign requirements, and multi-orbit strategies are creating a new role for GEO within an increasingly diverse satellite ecosystem.
