Drivers & Restraints-

Increasing Use of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artifical Intelligence to Amplify Market Growth

Small satellites have short developmental cycles, require small development teams, and also incur lesser costs in deployment. These advantages are expected to boost the market growth significantly. The increasing use of small satellites for earth observation and artificial intelligence integration on compact satellites are expected to be major growth drivers in the forthcoming years. The escalating worldwide use of CubeSats by defense organizations for communication and monitoring is likely to augment the market growth. Internet of Things (IoT) plays a crucial in satellite connectivity.

The surging incorporation of IoT with small satellites is also anticipated to be a major growth driver in the forthcoming years. The introduction of the 5G service is also expected to boost the market growth due to faster data transmission speeds and reduced latency.
However, government regulations and norms are expected to hinder market growth. For instance, there are five United Nations Treaties on an international level for outer space. The five treaties include Rescue Agreement, Outer Space Treaty, Liability Convention, Moon Agreement, and Registration Convention.

Regional Insights:
