At 4.2% CAGR, the South America Airborne SATCOM Market is projected to be worth US$ 688.56 Million by 2028, says Business Market Insights

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the South America airborne SATCOM market was valued at US$ 537.20 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 688.56 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 4.2% from 2022 to 2028. Development of ultra-compact SATCOM terminals and increasing air passenger traffic are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion. 

One of the most important applications of satellite communication technology is communications on the move (COTM), which provides crucial services to various businesses. COTM provides important applications for first responders, disaster recovery, emergency preparedness, remote access, and other applications to military and commercial end users. Moreover, moving aircraft such as commercial, government, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a satellite dish capable of establishing and sustaining communications with a satellite network while the aircraft is in motion are referred to as COTM. Demand for satellite-based on-the-move communications (COTM) emerged as a new trend in defense and commercial aerial communication systems. COTM technologies have become significantly more effective due to the arrival of high-powered L-band satellites with low-gain antenna solutions designed originally for the security and defense industries. In November 2018, Get SAT announced the release of the UltraBlade L-Band antenna for on-the-go L-band airborne applications. Customers and operators, both commercial and military, want faster speeds and more competitive bandwidth pricing. Operators' networks are being constricted as different platforms require new antenna types or ways to purchase connectivity, leading to the development of advanced airborne on-the-move SATCOM solutions.

On the contrary, various cyber security related threats hurdles the growth of South America airborne SATCOM market.
