What Has Been the Growth Trajectory for the Satellite Antenna Market in Recent Years?
The satellite antenna market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the satellite antenna market has exhibited robust growth. The market which was valued at $3.53 billion in 2024 is expected to surge to $3.86 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.3%.
The historic expansion in this market has been primarily driven by the worldwide development of satellite communication, an increasing demand for high-speed data transmission, a booming demand for broadcasting services, military and defense applications, along with exploration and navigation requirements.
What Is The Projected Growth Of The Satellite Antenna Market?
The satellite antenna market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to surge significantly in the coming years, the market size of satellite antennas is projected to reach $6.12 billion by 2029, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.2%.
This growth over the forecast period is projected to be driven by the rise of low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, the need for high-frequency bands, the proliferation of 5G satellite networks, and an increase in space exploration missions. During the forecast period, major market trends will include the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in antenna systems, the mounting demand for high-throughput satellite (HTS) systems, the heightened focus on antenna design for electrically small satellites, a greater emphasis on antenna testing and simulation, and a growing interest in inter-satellite links (ISL).
Which Drivers Are Accelerating Growth In The Satellite Antenna Market?
The satellite antenna market is being propelled forward by the surging demand for small satellites. These smaller satellites offer a cost-effective solution and are more affordable to launch, all while ensuring efficient connectivity. The growing use of small satellites has sparked innovation and growth within the satellite antenna sector, leading to a need for more intricate, affordable, and advanced antenna systems. For instance, the United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) and Euroconsult have set their sights on launching a significant amount of these tiny satellites by 2030. As of spring 2022, approximately 5,500 satellites are currently in orbit, and one forecast anticipates an additional 58,000 launches by 2030, mostly happening in low Earth orbit (LEO). Consequently, the escalating demand for small satellites is set to stimulate the market demand for satellite antennas.
