A leading forecasting group anticipates than more 2,500 satellites will be launched by average every year over 2022-2031. That represents by average every day about 7 satellites or 3 tons lofted into orbit over this period.

Euroconsult collects, updates and assesses on a yearly basis detailed market, industry, policy, program and financial information in the international space sector.

According to the group, a handful of Non-Geo-Stationary Orbit (NGSO) broadband constellations concentrate the demand in satellite but not in manufacturing and launch revenues – that is still led by legacy customers, both governments and commercial operators.

Largest market driver

In number of satellites, NGSO constellations are the largest market driver as 83% of all satellites to be launched over 2022-2031, are expected to be part of constellations whilst only accounting for 30% of the manufacturing and launch value.

On the commercial demand, for the first time, the emerging NGSO constellation broadband operators will account for half of the commercial demand in manufacturing and launch value: i.e $5.3 billion on a yearly average whilst GEO comsat will average $3.2 billion.
