The Satellite Telecommunications Providers industry provides telecommunications connections via satellite for broadcasters and other providers. The initiative includes establishments that own and operate satellites and operations that resell transmission capacity. Since network expansion is time- and capital-intensive, industry growth is sporadic and often countercyclical. For example, revenue growth may rapidly increase with the launch of a new satellite and decrease once it reaches saturation.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 3.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $8.0bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
