Development of the Worldwide LEO Satellite Market and Major Operators (pre-order)
LEO (Low Earth Orbit) satellite services have been rolled out across the world. SpaceX's satellites entered commercial services in October 2021 and launched OneWeb's 40 satellites in December 2022. Amazon and Telesat have also geared up for satellite services. In the next five years, all major satellite operators are expected to use their LEO satellites for commercial applications, creating new business opportunities in the LEO satellite market. This report analyzes the global satellite service market and the deployment plans of major LEO satellite operators to identify the key trends of the market.
