Satellite Industry Report Summary (June 2016)

Core Content Overview

This report presents the 19th annual study of the satellite industry by the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), conducted by The Tauri Group. It provides a comprehensive overview of the global satellite industry in 2015, including revenue trends, satellite deployment statistics, and employment data. The report highlights the growth of key segments and challenges faced by the industry.

Main Findings

Global Satellite Industry Revenue

• Total revenue in 2015: $208.3 billion
• Worldwide growth rate: 3%, slightly above global economic growth (2.4%) and U.S. growth (2.5%)
• Satellite services: The largest segment, with a 4% revenue increase
• Consumer services: Key driver for overall growth, contributing 94% of consumer revenues and 77% of satellite services revenues
• Satellite manufacturing: Grew by 4%, with a 32% share of global manufacturing revenues by U.S. firms (excluding CubeSats)
• Launch industry: Experienced a 9% revenue decline due to fewer commercially procured launches
• Ground equipment: Grew by 1%, with growth in network equipment and consumer equipment, while consumer GNSS remained flat

Satellite Deployment

• Number of operational satellites (as of 2015): Increased by 39% over five years, from 986 in 2011
• Average annual launches (2011–2015): Rose by 36%
• Small and very small satellites (LEO): Contributed significantly to the growth
• Average operational life: Extended for certain satellite types, such as GEO communications satellites
• Countries with satellite operators: 59, including those in regional consortia

Satellite Services Breakdown

• Satellite TV: Grew by 3%, with 230 million subscribers globally
• Satellite Radio: Increased by 9%, with 29.6 million subscribers
• Satellite Broadband: Grew by 10%, with 1.8 million subscribers, primarily in the U.S.
• Fixed Satellite Services: Grew by 4%, with transponder agreements up 1% and managed services up 15%
• Mobile Satellite Services: Grew by 4%, with mobile voice up 9% and mobile data up 4%
• Earth Observation Services: Rose by 10%, driven by established operators and new entrants

Satellite Manufacturing

• Total 2015 revenue: $16.6 billion
• U.S. share: 60%, down from 63% in 2014
• Satellite types:
  • Communications satellites: 42% of total revenue
  • Military surveillance satellites: 36% of total revenue
• CubeSats: 108 launched in 2015, 48 by Planet Labs, with a total estimated cost of less than $100 million since 2005
• U.S. manufacturing share: 64% of satellites launched in 2015 (including CubeSats)
• GEO satellite orders: U.S. firms won 65% of 11 GEO satellite orders in 2015, up from 57% in 2014

Launch Industry

• Global launch revenues (2015): $5.4 billion
• U.S. share: 35%, down from 41% in 2014
• Commercially procured launches: 65 in 2015, down from 73 in 2014
• Launch providers: Europe, China, and India saw increased activity
• Launch failures: Falcon 9 (June) and Proton M (May) caused delays for U.S. and Russian providers
• Future launch orders: 33 placed in 2015, with 15 (45%) won by U.S. firms

Ground Equipment

• Total ground equipment revenue (2015): Increased by 1%
• Network equipment: Grew by 3%
• Consumer equipment (non-GNSS): Grew by 2%, with slower growth in satellite TV terminals
• GNSS equipment: 53% of ground equipment revenue, with flat consumer sales and growth in other segments

Key Trends and Developments

• Consumer broadband over satellite is becoming more mature, comparable to terrestrial services
• CubeSats are increasingly used for Earth observation and communications, with growing concerns about space debris and collisions
• LEO constellations are in development, with several companies planning to launch thousands of satellites
• Satellite manufacturing is shifting toward more cost-effective, high-throughput satellites
• U.S. employment in the satellite industry decreased by 5% in 2015, with significant declines in satellite manufacturing and ground equipment sectors

Conclusion

The satellite industry showed moderate growth in 2015, with key segments such as satellite services and manufacturing driving the expansion. The launch industry faced a decline due to reduced commercial activity, while ground equipment saw slight growth. The increasing use of CubeSats and LEO constellations signals a shift toward more flexible and cost-effective satellite solutions, particularly in Earth observation and communications.
