United Kingdom Satellite Communications Market Size and Share Outlook - Forecast Trends and Growth Analysis Report (2025-2034)
Description
The United Kingdom satellite communications market size was valued at USD 2.24 Billion in 2024. The market is further projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.30% between 2025 and 2034, reaching a value of USD 8.53 Billion by 2034.
The United Kingdom satellite communications market is growing due to increasing demand for global connectivity for seamless communication. Satellite communications play a vital role in providing reliable and extensive coverage for various end users, including businesses and government agencies. Additionally, the need for broadband access in remote and underdeveloped areas increases the demand for satellite communications in UK. Satellite communications bridge the digital divide by providing high-speed internet access, such as 5G in regions where infrastructure is limited. In July 2020, the UK Space Agency partnered with OneWeb Holdings Ltd to provide satellite broadband services to remote areas of the UK.
Advancemen ts in satellite technologies, such as electronically steerable antennas are influencing the United Kingdom satellite communications market development. Tech advancements contribute to improved signal reception, flexibility, and adaptability in satellite communications. As the use of advanced satellite communications is integral for national security, military operations, and disaster response, UK government, since October 2023, is planning to invest EUR 160 million for the development of next-generation satellite communications technology. These investments contribute to market growth.
Various commercial verticals , including telecommunications, maritime, aviation, and energy, contribute to the increased United Kingdom satellite communications market share. In the maritime sector of the UK, satellite communication is used for various purposes, including real-time data communication and ship monitoring. It facilitates faster data transmission and enables stable communication between ships at sea and shore stations. Meanwhile, in the aviation sector, satellite communication is essential for navigation purposes. In 2021, the UK Space Agency and Inmarsat partnered to develop a new satellite navigation and timing signal for the aviation and maritime sectors.
