The European Union Space Programme Agency (EUSPA) stands at the forefront, offering invaluable market intelligence through publications such as the EO and GNSS Market Report. Their latest addition, the 1st Secure SATCOM Market and User Technology Report, aims to capitalize on the burgeoning investments in the EU, aligning with initiatives like EU GOVSATCOM and the recently launched IRIS². EUSPA Executive Director Rodrigo da Costa emphasizes the agency’s reputation as the go-to source for EU Space information.
The report (link) outlines 13 user cases within four categories, predicting a substantial surge in demand for fixed satellite services (FSS) and mobile satellite services (MSS). The greatest demand is anticipated from key infrastructure sectors, such as transport, space, institutional communications, and other critical infrastructures. The comprehensive analysis forecasts a 14-fold increase in FSS demand by 2040, showcasing the critical role secure SATCOM will play in Europe’s evolving connectivity landscape.
The Secure SATCOM Market and User Technology Report also sheds light on the transformative power of digital technologies in this space. From multi-orbital solutions to higher frequency bands, the report underscores the role of innovation in meeting the evolving demands of secure connectivity. It highlights the influence of geopolitical trends, climate change, and the rise of New Space actors, emphasizing the need for resilient and adaptable SATCOM capabilities.
