Market Competitive Analysis

The remote sensing satellite market is concentrated. The vendors in the global remote sensing satellite market compete in terms of cost, reliability, and technological innovations. At the same time, vendors are solely dependent on securing key contracts from various defense organizations as there is a limited number of defense organizations across the world. Therefore, the competition among vendors in the market is moderate. Airbus SE, Ball Corp., and ImageSat International NV are some of the major market participants. Although the use of remote sensing satellites in mapping forest biomass will offer immense growth opportunities, the technological complexities of EO/IR sensors will challenge the growth of the market participants. To make the most of the opportunities, market vendors should focus more on the growth prospects in the fast-growing segments, while maintaining their positions in the slow-growing segments.

The use of the space-based radar system has gained significant investments from government agencies that are focused on ensuring the effective acquisition of intelligence imagery to address the evolving security concerns. Satellite-based SARs are the only available resource for many defense agencies, which can acquire and disseminate images of various strategic areas in inclement weather conditions or complete darkness. Therefore, a significant share of defense procurement will be directed toward the development and procurement of satellite-based SARs during the forecast period. 

However, market growth in the space-based radar segment will be slower than the growth of the market in the SATCOM and space-based EO/IR segments. This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the remote sensing satellite market size.

Remote Sensing Satellite Market: Key Drivers and Trends

The remote sensing satellite market will grow at a CAGR of almost 7% during the forecast period. The use of remote sensing satellites in mapping forest biomass is identified as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The European Space Agency (ESA) and Airbus Defense and Space signed a contract worth almost USD 255 million to develop a biomass satellite, which is expected to be launched in 2021. The satellite will offer high-resolution images and data of global forest carbon maps. The satellite can penetrate the canopy in the forest area while interacting with the vegetation elements. SAR can measure the overall height of the forest area by using a single satellite. The P-band SAR can provide information in three different views such as PoISAR (SAR Polarimetry), PoIInSAR (Polarimetric SAR Interferometry), and TomoSAR (SAR Tomography) and estimate the height of the forest. Such advantages will drive the growth of the remote sensing satellite market during the forecast period.

The introduction of inflatable SATCOM antennas that are designed for ground military use in remote areas and harsh weather conditions is one of the significant developments in the military sector. These antennas are deployed at locations wherein the movement and installation of standard rigid satellite antennas are challenging. One of the popular companies GATR Technologies signed a 440 million USD contract with the US Army to offer portable, lightweight, and quick-setup, inflatable SATCOM antennas for the Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) services that would assist in network-centric warfare. These GATR inflatable antenna systems are lightweight and small in size and are reliable in extreme environments.
