모바일 위성 서비스 시장 예측(-2030년) : 서비스 유형별, 주파수 대역별, 기술별, 용도별, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Mobile Satellite Services Market is accounted for $5.68 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $8.72 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period. Mobile Satellite Services (MSS) refer to communication services provided through satellites to mobile users, offering voice, data, and broadband services to remote or underserved areas. MSS enables connectivity where terrestrial networks are unavailable, such as in rural, oceanic, or disaster-stricken regions. It uses satellite constellations to offer reliable communication links, allowing users to make calls, send messages, and access the internet, even in isolated locations or during critical situations.

According to estimates from NASA and the European Space Agency, there are over 150 million objects orbiting between low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary Earth orbit (GEO), weighing more than 5,000 tons in total.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for connectivity in remote areas

As traditional terrestrial networks struggle to provide reliable coverage in rural, mountainous, and isolated regions, MSS offers a vital alternative for voice, data, and broadband services. MSS enables real-time data transfer, remote monitoring, and communication, thus supporting economic activities, disaster management, and rural development. The expanding global demand for mobile connectivity in these underserved areas continues to fuel MSS market growth.

Restraint:

High infrastructure and operational costs

High infrastructure and operational costs in MSS arise from the expensive nature of satellite launches, ground equipment, and maintenance. Additionally, the ongoing operational costs, such as fuel, monitoring, and repairing satellites, contribute to the financial burden. These high costs may limit market expansion, especially in regions with budget constraints or in sectors that are not willing to invest heavily in satellite-based communication, thereby slowing overall market growth.

Opportunity:

Increased use in emergency and disaster management

During natural disasters or crises, traditional communication networks often fail, making MSS essential for maintaining connectivity. MSS enables first responders, government agencies, and humanitarian organizations to coordinate efforts, share real-time data, and provide emergency communications when terrestrial infrastructure is compromised. The ability of MSS to offer reliable communication in remote or disaster-stricken areas, ensures timely rescue operations and effective disaster management, further expanding its demand and adoption across regions prone to natural calamities.

Threat:

Competition from terrestrial networks

Terrestrial networks like 4G, 5G, and fiber optic connections provide high-speed, low-latency services with widespread coverage and lower operational costs compared to satellite-based solutions. These networks are often more scalable and easier to maintain, making them more attractive for consumers and businesses. As a result, the reliance on MSS for communication in urban or densely populated areas diminishes, limiting its market share and growth potential in those regions.

Covid-19 Impact

The covid-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the mobile satellite services market. While demand for MSS services increased in sectors like healthcare, emergency response, and remote work, global disruptions and supply chain challenges affected satellite launches and infrastructure development. The rise in remote communication and reliance on satellite networks in underserved regions boosted the market. However, economic uncertainties led to cautious investments, slightly slowing growth in some commercial sectors.

The tracking & monitoring services segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The tracking & monitoring services segment is predicted to secure the largest market share throughout the forecast period. MSS enables real-time tracking of vehicles, assets, and personnel, even in remote or challenging environments where terrestrial networks are unavailable. Satellite technology ensures continuous monitoring, providing crucial data for operational efficiency, security, and situational awareness. These services are essential for improving supply chain visibility, preventing theft, optimizing routes, and ensuring the safety of personnel and assets across vast geographies.

The healthcare segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The healthcare segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period. MSS play a crucial role in healthcare applications by providing reliable communication in remote or underserved areas. In rural or disaster-stricken regions, where traditional networks are unavailable, MSS enables telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and emergency medical response. Healthcare professionals can communicate with specialists, share patient data, and access critical information in real-time, improving decision-making and care delivery.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the largest market share during the forecast period driven by increasing demand for reliable communication in remote and underserved areas. Countries like India, China, Japan, and Australia are major contributors, with MSS supporting sectors such as maritime, defense, aviation, and emergency response. The region's vast geography, including islands and mountainous terrain, fuels the need for satellite-based connectivity. Additionally, rising adoption of mobile devices and internet penetration in rural areas is further propelling MSS adoption.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period driven by the growing demand for reliable connectivity in remote, rural, and disaster-prone areas. The U.S. and Canada are key markets, where MSS is widely used in sectors such as defense, aviation, maritime, and oil and gas. The region's robust infrastructure, combined with advancements in satellite technology, supports efficient communication. Additionally, the increasing need for mobile connectivity in areas without terrestrial coverage, along with expanding IoT solutions, is accelerating market growth in North America.
