The airborne SATCOM market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 421.78 million in 2022 to US$ 568.55 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% from 2022 to 2028.

The growing air passenger traffic is driving the expansion of the airborne SATCOM industry. Factors such as increased middle-class interest in air travel, the expansion of this group in emerging nations, and an increase in the worldwide working-age population are predicted to boost total air passenger traffic. The newest ICAO analysis of air traffic shows obvious indicators of a strong recovery in air traffic, with increased carrier confidence and a variety of regional air connectivity and air travel facilitation enhancements. Airline seat capacity increased by 32% during the same period, and with continued supporting conditions for increased air travel demand forecast, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) predicts a stronger overall rate of recovery this year than last.

With the increase in air traffic and aircraft demand, air carriers are increasing their aircraft delivery. The demand for new airlines is not just from existing aircraft reestablishing their fleet but also from new low–cost aircraft entering the market. A repressed interest of leisure travelers being more cost-sensitive post-pandemic, decreased interest for business travel, alongside the adaptability of the minimal expense aircraft plan of action, is surging demand of SATCOM.

With the new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Middle East & Africa airborne SATCOM market. The Middle East & Africa airborne SATCOM market is expected to grow at a good CAGR during the forecast period.

At 5.1% CAGR, the Middle East & Africa Airborne SATCOM Market is speculated to be worth US$ 568.55 Million by 2028, says The Insight Partners

According to The Insight Partners’ research, the Middle East & Africa airborne SATCOM market was valued at US$ 421.78 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 568.55 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 5.1% from 2022 to 2028. Development of ultra-compact SATCOM terminals and increasing air passenger traffic are the critical factors attributed to the market expansion.

One of the most important applications of satellite communication technology is communications on the move (COTM), which provides crucial services to various businesses. COTM provides important applications for first responders, disaster recovery, emergency preparedness, remote access, and other applications to military and commercial end users. Moreover, moving aircraft such as commercial, government, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with a satellite dish capable of establishing and sustaining communications with a satellite network while the aircraft is in motion are referred to as COTM. Demand for satellite-based on-the-move communications (COTM) emerged as a new trend in defense and commercial aerial communication systems. COTM technologies have become significantly more effective due to the arrival of high-powered L-band satellites with low-gain antenna solutions designed originally for the security and defense industries. In November 2018, Get SAT announced the release of the UltraBlade L-Band antenna for on-the-go L-band airborne applications. Customers and operators, both commercial and military, want faster speeds and more competitive bandwidth pricing. Operators’ networks are being constricted as different platforms require new antenna types or ways to purchase connectivity, leading to the development of advanced airborne on-the-move SATCOM solutions.

On the contrary, various cyber security related threats hurdles the growth of Middle East & Africa airborne SATCOM market.
