According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Satellite IoT Market is accounted for $1.3 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $5.9 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 23.4% during the forecast period. The term "satellite IoT" refers to the use of satellite communication networks and services, either in addition to or instead of terrestrial communication networks, to connect terrestrial IoT sensors and IoT end-nodes to a server. Consumers and industrial users can benefit from lower operating costs thanks to satellite IoT because there is no longer a need to keep terrestrial and satellite connectivity alternatives separate. In order to track, monitor, and manage assets, safeguard the safety of their employees, and enhance remote operations, modern businesses and organisations rely on IoT to enable millions of intelligent data interactions.
According to Bryce Space and Technology, roughly 14 Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions were planned by the International Space Station (ISS) last year.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Rise in demand for interconnectivity
In remote places, there is an increased need for device connectivity. This is attributed to satellite IoT because it allows for long-distance connectivity and data exchange, especially in distant locations where conventional communication networks are problematic. Additionally, satellite IoT enables connections between devices and the internet and other devices using satellite networks, which transport data using low-power, low-bandwidth communication protocols. As a result, this is the main component promoting market expansion.
Restraint:
Vulnerability of satellite IoT devices
The number of cybersecurity breaches has increased globally. Given that many devices are connected across networks, platforms, and devices in IoT systems and 5G networks, security is the most important technological challenge for the majority of organisations. IoT proliferation implies a bad actor might potentially control a vast network of linked devices if just one unencrypted device or the communication between them isn't safeguarded. This is the element limiting the market's expansion.
Opportunity:
Increase in use of satellite IoT
Since satellite IoT enables farmers to remotely monitor their crops and livestock in real-time, it has become more common for the agriculture industry to use satellite IoT to automate routine activities. This is credited to satellite Internet of Things (IoT) services since they enable early detection of problems like pest infestations which may be rapidly remedied before they worsen. Moreover, satellite IoT enables precision agriculture, which uses data-driven insights to optimise crop yields, decrease waste, and conserve resources like water and fertiliser, driving the market expansion.
Threat:
High cost
The majority of the necessary parts are frequently either custom-made or bought from commercially available vendors. Additionally, large investments are needed in the R&D, production, system integration, and assembly phases of these systems' value chains. Additionally, extremely advanced military systems require satellite IoT services, making any instance of system breakdown disadvantageous. One of the key issues impeding market expansion is the high cost of creating and maintaining earth station infrastructure.
Covid-19 Impact
The COVID-19 epidemic has an impact on every business in the world. The sector of satellite IoT communication was significantly impacted. Due to its reliance on government contracts in a number of areas, such as the extremely dependable and long-lasting nature of satellite communications services that are crucial for disaster communications and backup services, the industry may be shielded from some of the more severe effects of the global pandemic. However, since the epidemic, there has been an increase in the availability of terrestrial broadband services, creating a huge market opportunity for satellite Internet of Things communications.
The Direct-to-satellite segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The Direct-to-satellite segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to their adaptability, affordability, cutting-edge mechanics, and ease of assembly and launch. Modern applications for situational awareness, increased safety, and economic activity in remote areas can all be made possible via direct-to-satellite connectivity in remote locations. Devices can communicate with the satellite directly using this architecture without the requirement for an intermediary terrestrial gateway.
The agriculture segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The agriculture segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the rising need for monitoring the environment and weather, the growing demand for livestock monitoring. With the use of satellite IoT solutions, farmers can optimise crop yields and cut waste by having access to real-time data on soil moisture, temperature, and other environmental conditions. Precision farming is becoming a major area of focus for the agriculture business because to the growing digitalization of the agricultural sector.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the large investments by organizations towards the development of efficient and sophisticated data transmission systems. The region has more advanced technology infrastructure and better network connectivity. The area is anticipated to be a prominent region in the market due to significant expenditures made by organisations in the development of effective and sophisticated data transmission systems.
Region with highest CAGR:
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the rising government spending on military and communication networks. In order for citizens to participate in and reap the socioeconomic benefits of a sophisticated, digital, and data-intensive economy, governments and policymakers need the support of 5G networks. The region's market is expanding as a result of an increase in demand from end-user industries like government, agricultural, mining, energy, maritime, and aviation.
