Global Optical Satellite Communication Market is valued at approximately USD 7.52 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 21.30% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Optical satellite communication, also known as free-space optical communication (FSOC), is a method of communication that uses laser beams to transmit information through space, typically between satellites or from satellites to ground-based receivers. This technology leverages the properties of light, such as its high bandwidth, narrow beam divergence, and low interference, to enable high-speed and high-capacity data transmission in space. The Optical Satellite Communication market is expanding because of factors such as a rise in demand for multimedia services and increase in number of Mobile Phone Users.
Optical satellite communication offers several advantages over traditional radio frequency (RF) communication methods, such as radio waves and microwaves. Its importance has progressively increased during the last few decades. According to the Statista, in 2021, the value of the media and entertainment business reached USD 2.34 trillion and expected to reach USD 2.93 trillion by the end of 2026. Furthermore, in 2022, "Digital video content was selected by 87% of respondents in a survey conducted on "Most used media services" in the United States. Another important component driving space increase is the number of Mobile Phone Users. As per Statista, the global number of smartphone mobile network subscriptions reached over 6.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to exceed 7.8 billion by 2028. Furthermore, the countries holding the most smartphone mobile network subscriptions were China, India, and the United States. In addition, in 2021, the United States accounts most significant smartphone penetration rates with 82.2% population around the world. Also, increasing spending in space missions and rising technological advancement in Optical Satellite Communication would create a lucrative growth prospectus for the market over the forecast period. However, the high cost of Optical Satellite Communication stifles market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
The key regions considered for the Global Optical Satellite Communication Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. North America dominated the market in terms of revenue, owing to the growth in the telecommunication sector and high adoption of advanced technologies within the region.
