The SATCOM transceivers market is anticipated to be driven by the increasing rate of satellite launches. Launching satellites into space involves the use of a launch vehicle or rocket, which positions them into orbit around Earth or directed towards other celestial bodies. There's a surge in satellite launches due to factors such as increased governmental support, affordability, fast-paced development cycles, and flexibility. A SATCOM transceiver allows for real-time communication between the satellite and ground control, ensuring command and control, data exchange and monitoring the health and status of the satellite. For example, nearly 5,500 satellites orbited in 2022, as reported by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, a U.S.-based government institution, in September 2022. Additionally, an estimated 58,000 more satellites are set to be launched by 2030. Consequently, the rise in satellite launches is propelling the growth of the SATCOM transceivers market.
