Market Trends of geo satellite Industry
Satellites are equipped with more sophisticated communication devices, advanced imaging capabilities, and advanced sensors that, in addition to other functions, contribute to their mass
- The mass of GEO (geostationary Earth orbit) satellites can vary depending on their specific design, purpose, and the technological advancements integrated. However, certain trends and general considerations have shaped the mass of GEO satellites over time. Over the years, there has been a general trend of increasing the mass of GEO satellites, mainly due to advances in technology and the increasing complexity of satellite payloads. Satellites now carry more advanced communications equipment, high-resolution imaging systems, and sophisticated sensors that, among other capabilities, contribute to their overall mass.
- High-throughput satellites (HTS) are designed to provide enhanced data capacity and faster communication speeds. These satellites employ advanced antenna systems, multiple spot beams, and frequency reuse techniques to maximize their communication capabilities. The additional complexity and larger communication payloads of HTS can result in higher satellite masses.
- GEO satellites primarily serve as relays for communications, providing services such as television broadcasting, internet connectivity, and telecommunications. The size and volume of the communication payload have increased as the demand for higher bandwidth and more advanced services has increased. To accommodate larger and more powerful communications equipment, GEO satellites have become heavier. During 2017-2022, over 140 satellites were launched in GEO globally. The surge in the number of military satellites is expected to aid the GEO satellite segment in the forecast period.

The growth of the global market is expected to be supported by indigenous space capabilities
- A geostationary orbit is a circular orbit located at an altitude of approximately 35,786 km above the Earth's equator. GEO satellites offer a range of market applications and services such as communications, navigation, surveillance, remote sensing, weather forecasting, satellite broadcasting, and internet services. Between 2017 and May 2022, over 145+ GEO satellites were launched globally.
- The Canadian space industry adds USD 2.3 billion to the country's GDP and employs 10,000 people, according to the government. The government reports that 90% of Canadian space firms are small- and medium-sized businesses. The Canadian Space Agency's (CSA) budget is modest, with its budgetary spending for 2022-23 estimated at USD 329 million.
- In Asia-Pacific, currently, only China, India, and Japan have full end-to-end space capacity and complete space infrastructure and technology for all communication, Earth observation (EO), and navigation satellites, including for the manufacturing of satellites, rockets, and spaceports. Other countries in the region rely on international cooperation to carry out their respective space programs. However, this trend is expected to change to some extent over the coming years, although many countries in the region are developing indigenous space capabilities as part of their latest agile strategies. In June 2022, South Korea launched the Nuri rocket, putting six satellites into orbit, making it the seventh country in the world to successfully launch a payload weighing more than one ton.
