ANZ Satellite Communications Market Analysis

The ANZ Satellite Communications Market is expected to register a CAGR of 11.46% during the forecast period.

  • Satellite communication has gained significant traction due to its excessive use in the defense and military sectors for transmitting information and establishing communication between military personnel. Furthermore, it also helps with satellite-asset tracking and remote sensing. For instance, life safety at sea has been gaining importance in the defense sector. The governments of various countries are investing in communication technology, such as navigation systems and vessel tracking. The governments of countries like China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Indonesia play a vital role in promoting maritime security, as the maritime industry adds to the region's economic growth.
  • As satellite technology developed, end users' direct access to capacity has become a severe problem. Instead of the traditional emphasis on network connectivity, ISOs and independent satellite systems are increasingly directing satellite technology toward providing services to end consumers. The conventional wisdom in satellite communication has been that the size of the receiving equipment and the power radiated from a satellite must be traded off. The most cost-effective systems for connecting a relatively small number of sites employed low-powered satellites sending signals to big stationary earth stations.
  • The need for broadband connectivity is still tremendous and only sometimes location-specific. Examples of such requirements include connectivity for users on airplanes, ships, and vehicles (including first responders) operating in both stationary and moving locations. These three platforms require constant connectivity throughout their routes, frequently taking them through underserved portions of big cities and sparsely populated regions. Such improvements are anticipated to support the expansion of the market under study.
  • Since launching a satellite to send data is so sensitive, cybersecurity has become a fundamental problem for satellite communication. The difficulty stems from the potential harm such cybersecurity risks could do because the flaws are crucial to the operation. Launch systems, communications, telemetry, tracking and command, and mission completion are mission-critical weaknesses vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Its implementation needs to be improved by the excessive reliance on satellite communication for safe cyber capabilities during the satellite's lifetime.
  • According to the Satellite Business Association, the commercial satellite business has been crucial in combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to its numerous uses in providing voice, data, and broadcast communications solutions, as well as navigation, earth observation, remote sensing, and other specialized services essential for businesses, government clients, and consumers domestically and globally, the demand for satellite communication has increased.

ANZ Satellite Communications Industry Overview

The ANZ satellite communication (SATCOM) market is highly fragmented, with the presence of major players like Inmarsat global limited, Lockheed Martin, Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd, Viasat Inc., and L3Harris Technologies Inc. Players in the market are adopting strategies such as partnerships, innovations, mergers, and acquisitions to enhance their product offerings and gain sustainable competitive advantage.

  • In May 2023, Inmarsat was given a USD 187.4 million ANZ contract for satellite positioning. These can reduce location errors from several meters to as low as ten centimeters. With that level of precision, more automated systems utilized in aviation, maritime, agricultural, mining, and emergency services and enhanced collision avoidance for autonomous vehicles will be available.
  • In March 2023, Lockheed Martin Australia (LMA) picked Victoria as the engineering and technical hub for its proposed sovereign military satellite communications system, JP9102. This investment would result in the creation of nearly 200 advanced space sector jobs in Victoria. Simultaneously, Lockheed Martin ANZ announced collaborations with Marand, Survitec, and TR Calibration to offer instrumentation, calibration, and repair services for Lockheed Martin's aviation ground support equipment as part of the company's Product Support Provider network (PSPn).
