Aeronautical Satcom Services- Report Segmentation
Executive Summary The smallest addressable market among mobile satellite platforms, the aeronautical segment has conversely shown very high service revenues on average, driven in large part by government markets. However, with the recent wave of satellite equipment installations on commercial aircraft, in-flight connectivity services have reached a tipping point on the growth curve. Wi-Fi equipment is now offered with or without connectivity to meet the demand for enhanced passenger experience. Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) deals with service providers have multiplied to offer line-fit options on more airframes than ever before, and ISR applications remain a key driver of government aeronautical applications. All told, an emerging business case for commercial passenger connectivity is just on the horizon, leading to stronger than ever growth for aeronautical satellite connectivity players.
The aeronautical satcom market is driven by the general aviation and rotor wing airframe market for in-service units and by narrow-body commercial aircraft for revenues. In terms of bandwidth demand, narrow-body aircraft will show the highest demand for both Ku-band and HTS capacity, while the sheer number of L-band units installed will generate a sizeable portion of the revenues over the forecast period. Key findings of NSR s Aeronautical Satcom Markets analysis include: In-service units will be added over the next ten years at a 6.3% CAGR, driven in large part by L-band units that serve mostly the GA & RW market. The largest growth in the total will come from narrow-body aircraft, which will account for 27% of in-service units at the end of 2022. Retail revenues will inch up to $3.4 billion in 2022, with about one-third from narrowbody aircraft. The expected transition to high-throughput satellite (HTS) connectivity will mean that HTS revenues will see sizable growth from almost zero today. Bandwidth demand across Ku-band and HTS will grow significantly by the end of 2022 and reach $670 million in revenues. Wide-body and narrow-body commercial airframes will drive Ku-band market demand, while narrow-body airframes (which are installed earlier than wide-body and business jets) will drive HTS capacity demand. Bottom Line The aeronautical satcom market is on the cusp of a huge increase in demand and will experience significant changes with a proliferation of new solutions to enable better and more widespread inflight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC). The IFEC market will push demand up and reach 35% of total revenues in 2022 as data and Wi-Fi systems installed on commercial airlines take hold of the emerging satellite connectivity market.
