Commercial Defense Satcom Service Revenues to Surpass $22.6B by 2035
Paris, France | September 2026 — Novaspace’s Satellite Communications for Defense and Security, 2nd Edition highlights a defense Satcom market poised for rapid growth. By 2035, commercial satellite service revenues are projected to exceed $22.6 billion, while global defense Satcom demand is forecast to surpass 7.5 Tbps, driven by the adoption of next-generation non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) constellations.
Why Scaling in Defense Follows Different Rules
Private investment in defense has surged to $11 billion in 2025, but capital alone doesn’t guarantee scale. Long procurement cycles, entrenched primes, and fragmented national markets mean defense start-ups face a different playbook than typical deep-tech ventures. Novaspace’s PAVED framework — Prioritize dual-use, Acquire operational support, Vertically integrate, Establish prime partnerships, Diversify funding — outlines the five strategic priorities that separate companies who scale from those stuck in the “valley of death.”
