"GEO operators that fail to offer multi-orbit solutions and value-added services risk significantly reduced margins as non-GEO constellations increase pricing pressures."

This report provides a satellite capacity pricing index for 2021 to 2026 and a forecast for 1Q 2027 covering different regions, applications and frequency bands.

The report focuses on geostationary orbit (GEO) pricing for widebeam and high-throughput satellite capacity in satellite communication verticals.

Report coverage

• Satellite capacity spot pricing data for the period from 2021 to 2027 across the market, with data split by application, region, frequency and technology type (widebeam versus HTS)
• Analysis of pricing trends within each application and the implications for satellite operators and service providers targeting these opportunities
• Assessment of factors that impact satellite capacity spot pricing
• Strategic recommendations for satellite operators to continue to capture higher demand as spot pricing declines year on year
