South America Satellite Communication Terminal Market Overview

The South America satellite communication terminal market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America. The majority of the countries in this region are still in the developing stage, and their inclination toward advanced defense systems is increasing considerably. Brazil’s military expenditure in 2023 was US$ 20.2 billion, which was 1.1% of countries GDP. The growing military spending is expected to create promising demand for satellite communication terminals required for operations in harsh environments. Eutelsat, ABS, Intelsat, Hispasat, SES Telesat, and Iridium are some of the major satellite operators in the South America region. Cellular backhaul and trunking, enterprise, and broadband, maritime, aeronautical, land mobility, and Internet of Things (IoT) are some domains where the need for satellite communication terminals is anticipated to grow notably in the coming years. Telecommunication infrastructure to offer cellular services in the farthest areas is expanding with 5G and long-term evolution (LTE) penetration. Consumer broadband is another key industry in Brazil that is expanding notably. In December 2019, Al Yah Satellite Communications Company (Yahsat), one of the leading satellite operators from the United Arab, and Hughes Network Systems, LLC, a market leader in broadband satellite networks and services, entered a joint venture to offer satellite broadband services in Brazil. Yahsat's Ka-Band Satellite offers business and residential internet by working with local partners. Thus, increasing demand for high-end military SATCOM, rising defense budget, and joint ventures among international market players drive the demand for satellite communication terminals in the South America region.
