Global Airborne SATCOM market share 2024, Forecast To 2033

28 Feb, 2024

The airborne satcom market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.71 billion in 2023 to$6.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to surge in commercial air travel, government investments in defense, globalization of military operations, emergency response and disaster management, increased data transfer requirements, integration with avionics systems. The airborne satcom market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.77 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to commercial space industry growth, satellite constellation expansion, connectivity demand in business aviation, urban air mobility (UAM) expansion, cybersecurity concerns, demand for real-time data in precision agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of advanced technologies, emergence of next-generation satcom systems, increasing use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), partnerships and collaborations.

Global Airborne SATCOM Market Key Driver

A surge in air passenger traffic is expected to drive the airborne SATCOM market going forward. Air passenger traffic refers to the total number of passengers travelling via air transport mode. Airborne SATCOM helps air passenger traffic by verifying a satellite-based air traffic services datalink using SATCOM. For instance, according to a report in June 2022 by IATA, a Canada-based trade association of the world's airlines, revenue passenger kilometers, or RPKs, which reflect total demand for air travel, showed a growth of 78.7% from April 2021 to April 2022 and was slightly higher than the 76.0% increase from March 2022. Therefore, the increase in air passenger traffic is driving the growth of the airborne SATCOM market. The airborne SATCOM market was valued at $5.7 billion in 2023, and it is forecasted to expand to $8.9 billion by 2028.
