Major progress in geospatial imagery analysis combined with the implementation of AI and big data, privatization of the space industry and growing demand of small earth observation satellites is driving the market.

Global Satellite Data Services Market Size

The fourth industrial revolution also gives the satellite data services sector attractive growth prospects. The launch of Industry 4.0, which is expected to promote disruption in traditional practices and to deliver better market growth prospects, offers development opportunities to many satellite firms, OEMs and applications developers. In the design and manufacturing stages of satellite production, Industry 4.0 will also increase productivity in subsequent years with prediction for economic growth.

Satellite Data Services Market Share

Satellite-as-a-Service (SataaS) would provide consumers with faster and more reliable access to satellite imaging. It is expected that a pay-as-you-go satellite model will deliver more resources and time management capabilities in commercial applications. This will also allow companies to get their product closer to the customer by allowing them a certain period of time to own the satellite, so they can achieve sustainable market growth. The growing number and overall cost of deploying small satellites is making SataaS a very economical choice, which makes it possible for medium businesses to embrace the entire industry.
