Whereas, in general, satellite internet providers offer download speeds of between 12 and 100 Mbps. As a comparison, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standard for high-speed connections is 25 Mbps, which is far less compared to fiber-optic cable internet. Thus, the added competition due to the slower speed and higher latency of satellite internet is expected to have a negative impact on the satellite market, affecting the satellites market growth. The launch of hybrid DTH set-top boxes is gaining popularity in the satellites market. The hybrid set-top boxes are something that surfaced as a result of DTH operators trying to bring online content to TV screens. For instance, in 2020, D2H launched an internet-enabled, Android-based HD set-top box and a voice-enabled stick with Alexa built-in. It is worth noting that the new set-top box that has been launched by D2H is not a standard set-top box that only comes with a DTH connection. However, it is a hybrid set-top box that combines a DTH connection with over-the-top (OTT) content. A hybrid set-top box allows you to access both your OTT content online and your satellite TV channels simultaneously.

The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of aerospace & defense is expected to grow to $1076.56 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 5.9%. During the forecast period, developed countries will experience low interest rates as monetary authorities are reducing interest rates to stimulate economic growth and prevent deflation. This led to the flow of cheap money for investment in these economies. Low interest rates encouraged borrowing for investment and helped drive spending. For instance, in March 2020, the Bank of England, a UK-based central bank, reduced interest rates to 0.1%, the lowest level ever, as a measure of protest against COVID-19. Major countries that had low-interest rates in the historic period included the USA, Germany, and Japan.
