The satellite-based augmentation system market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•In recent years, there has been a significant expansion in the market size of the satellite-based augmentation system. It's projected to rise from $1.4 billion in 2024 to approximately $1.54 billion in 2025, with an estimated CAGR of 10.2%.
This notable growth in the past has been incited by factors such as aviation safety guidelines, increased air traffic, maritime navigation needs, applications in surveying and mapping, as well as precision agriculture.
The satellite-based augmentation system market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the market size for the satellite-based augmentation system is anticipated to experience a significant surge. It is projected to reach a worth of $2.11 billion in 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%.
This expansion during the forecast period is linked to the growth of the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) market, the rise of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the spread of location-based services (lbs), infrastructure advancement, and the growing need for autonomous vehicles. The forecast period will also see major trends like the global expansion of SbAS networks, improved disaster management and emergency response, incorporation into surveying and geomatics, the evolution of next-generation SbAS, and partnerships and collaborations aimed at the implementation of SbAS.
Rising air traffic is projected to stimulate the growth of the satellite-based augmentation system market in the future. Air traffic, which involves the navigation and control of aircraft within the airspace, is closely managed by air traffic control (ATC) services to ensure security and efficiency in operations. The execution of aircraft activities and air traffic provides practical affirmation, data collection, and user feedback, enhancing the reliability, precision, and performance of satellite-based augmentation systems (SBAS). This ultimately boosts aviation safety and efficacy. An illustration of this growth is identified in a report by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics in March 2023, revealing that in 2022, US airlines saw an annual increase of 30%, transporting 194 million more passengers compared to 2021. As such, the escalating air traffic is contributing to the expansion of the satellite-based augmentation system market.
