KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

The satellite ground station market is witnessing considerable expansion globally, with a significant CAGR anticipated throughout the forecast period extending to 2032. Satellite Ground Stations (SGS) are dedicated communication centers for receiving and transmitting a wide range of data from satellites. The stations are differentiated based on their capacity to connect with the satellites in lower or outer orbit. The data received contains a wide variety, such as communication, navigation, remote sensing, and other data.

Satellite ground stations are built in accordance with the industry they will be used for. Different stations require different equipment to communicate with satellites at different orbital heights. Ground stations can also be fixed, portable or mobile (vehicle mounted). Different agencies, both government and private, look after their respective ground station. The data received from the satellite at the ground station is then forwarded to the final user. Satellite ground station work on the basis of electromagnetic waves, which are received at the antenna and transmitted through the dish.

The satellite ground station market is driven by the demand for increasing satellite-based services, like internet and video surfing. Connectivity is increasing across the globe, and new regions are getting access to these digital services. Satisfying the demand while bringing down the cost of operations is a big contributor towards the growth of the market.

The biggest restraint towards the growth of the market is the capital associated with the installation, maintenance and operation of these ground stations. A large initial investment is required, and the return on investment might take up to a few years.

Key Industry Developments:

In May 2023, OneWeb, a low-earth orbit satellite company signed a ten-year contract with the Swedish Space Corporation to build and manage a new OneWeb Satellite Network Portal (SNP). SSC, in collaboration with Northwestel, will build a new ground station in Yellowknife in Canada. Construction of the SNP will see the development of 27 antenna bases, and the construction will be overseen by SSC.

In April 2023, it was announced that the U.S. Space Force will the first customer for BlueHalo’s mobile ground stations. BlueHalo was awarded a USD 1.4 billion contract in April 2022 in April 2022 by the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (SpRCO), which is under the U.S. Space Force. The Space RCO selected the antenna for their Satellite Communications Augmentation Resource (SCAR) program.
