[183 Pages Report] The Satellite 5G New Radio Market size was estimated at USD 5.82 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 6.31 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.66% to reach USD 10.41 billion by 2030.

Satellite 5G new radio (5G NR) extends the terrestrial 5G NR standard into satellite communications. The 5G NR standard is designed to enable a variety of services, including enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (MTC). It encompasses the specifications for designing and operating the radio interface, enabling communication between user devices and the cellular network infrastructure. Satellite 5G NR is expected to support a range of applications, from connecting remote and rural communities to enabling advanced services such as the Internet of Things (IoT), mobile backhauling, and support for emergency services. Innovations in satellite technology, such as high-throughput satellites (HTS) and low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, are boosting the capabilities of 5G NR. There is a growing need for reliable and widespread internet access, and various governments worldwide are backing the deployment of 5G infrastructures, including satellite networks, which drives demand for satellite-enabled 5G connectivity. However, the high deployment and operation cost of satellites, technical issues, and regulatory hurdles are subject to international regulatory frameworks that can be complex and restrictive, which hampers market growth. Expansion in remote areas as satellite 5G NR provides the opportunity to offer 5G connectivity in remote and hard-to-reach areas, thus broadening the consumer base. Advancements in antenna and SATCOM technologies and adopting satellite IoT for 5G networks create a lucrative market opportunity.
