Satellite-Based IoT Service Market Size is valued at 298.45 million in 2024 and is predicted to reach 392.20 million by the year 2034 at a 2.8% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Satellite IoT describes the use of satellite communication networks and services to connect terrestrial IoT sensors and end nodes to a server, both in addition to and instead of terrestrial communication networks. Because there is no need to separate terrestrial and satellite communication alternatives, consumers and industrial users can benefit from lower operating expenses. Modern businesses and organizations rely on IoT to enable millions of intelligent data conversations, assisting them in tracking, monitoring, and managing assets, ensuring worker safety, and improving remote operations. The rise in the terrestrial IoT network, along with cheaper LEO-based satellite connectivity, has created a significant demand for the creation of satellite-based IoT services during the forecast period.
However, the worldwide economy was strengthened by the COVID-19 epidemic, which drove companies to deploy role-based permit systems to protect corporate data and networks. The market experienced tremendous growth due to the ongoing spike in demand for wireless and security systems, particularly in the information and communication industry.
The global satellite based IoT service market is segmented on the basis of service and terminal. Based on service, the market is segmented as commercial, defense, and civil government. The commercial segment includes transport & logistics, aviation, agriculture, marine, energy and utilities, oil and gas, automotive, healthcare, retail, natural resource monitoring, and others (construction, media, plant engineering, disaster management, infrastructure, and NGO). By defense, the market is segmented into land, airborne, and naval. The terminal segment includes commercial, defense, and civil government.
The defense category is expected to hold a major share of the global Global satellite-based IoT service market in 2022. This is due to an increase in the demand for communication channels to be established in remote and isolated places. On the other hand, the aerospace segment is expected to drive the global satellite-enabled IoT market during the forecast period owing to the grown adoption of advanced technology, such as satellite-enabled GPS systems over traditional practices, as well as a preference for high data transmission and security solution tools.
The agriculture segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global satellite-based IoT service market. As satellite IoT allows farmers to remotely monitor their crops and livestock in real-time, the usage of satellite IoT to automate regular procedures in the agriculture industry has increased. This is ascribed to satellite IoT services since they enable the early discovery of concerns such as pest infestations, infections, or irrigation challenges, which can then be remedied immediately before they worsen. Furthermore, satellite IoT enables precision agriculture, which is the use of data-driven insights to optimize crop yields, reduce waste, and conserve resources like water and fertilizer. As a result, farmers can construct accurate maps of their fields and adjust their agricultural practices to the individual demands of each area by collecting all of the data from sensors and other IoT devices.
The North American global satellite-based IoT service market is expected to record the highest market share in terms of revenue in the near future. The rapid development of the advanced satellite industry as well as the adoption of technical improvement that provides integrated network redundancy and reduces the line-of-sight problem for continuous worldwide coverage in the United States and Canada, are credited with the region's market growth. Due to huge investments by organizations in the development of efficient data transmission systems, the Asia Pacific region is expected to be a prominent region in the market over the forecast period. The key contributors to market growth are predicted to be India, Japan, and China.
