Report : Asia Pacific Airborne SATCOM Market Forecast to 2028 – COVID-19 Impact and Analysis – by Platform (Commercial Aircraft, Military Aircraft, Helicopters, and UAV), Component (SATCOM Terminals, Transceivers, Airborne Radio, Modems & Routers, SATCOM Radomes, and Others), and Application (Defense and Commercial)
At 8.8% CAGR, the Asia Pacific Airborne SATCOM Market is speculated to be worth US$ 2,273.59 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights
According to Business Market Insights’ research, the Asia Pacific airborne SATCOM market was valued at US$ 1,367.30 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,273.59 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 8.8% from 2022 to 2028. Development of ultra-compact SATCOM terminals and increasing air passenger traffic are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.
The growing air passenger traffic is driving the expansion of the airborne SATCOM industry. Factors such as increased middle-class interest in air travel, the expansion of this group in emerging nations, and an increase in the worldwide working-age population are predicted to boost total air passenger traffic. The newest ICAO analysis of APAC air traffic shows obvious indicators of a strong APAC recovery in air traffic, with increased carrier confidence and a variety of regional air connectivity and air travel facilitation enhancements. From January to April 2022, air passengers increased by 65% compared to the same period in 2021, while aircraft flight departures increased by 30%. Airline seat capacity increased by 32% during the same period, and with continued supporting conditions for increased air travel demand forecast, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) predicts a stronger overall rate of recovery this year than last.
With the increase in air traffic and aircraft demand, air carriers are increasing their aircraft delivery. The demand for new airlines is not just from existing aircraft reestablishing their fleet but also from new low–cost aircraft entering the market. A repressed interest of leisure travelers being more cost-sensitive post-pandemic, decreased interest for business travel, alongside the adaptability of the minimal expense aircraft plan of action, is surging demand of SATCOM. Many countries plan to construct more airports in the future because of increasing air passenger traffic. For instance, as China's 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-25) industries establish plans in accordance with the country's development which was started in 2021. The civil aviation industry aims to improve capacity, speed up airport building, and integrate with other modes of transportation such as railways, highways, and waterways. According to the 14th Five-Year Plan, China will build more than 30 new civil airports and raise civil aviation capacity by 43% to 2 billion passenger trips. Thus, adding new airports and increasing new aircraft will generate new opportunities for the airborne SATCOM market.
On the contrary, various cyber security related threats hurdles the growth of Asia Pacific airborne SATCOM market.
