The global M2M satellite communication market is valued at USD 15.5 billion in 2023 and is estimated to reach USD 28.7 billion in 2028, registering a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period. The growing demand for monitoring and remote management of connected devices stands as a pivotal market driver propelling the growth of M2M satellite communication. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected through the IoT, industries and enterprises are deploying a myriad of connected devices across diverse sectors, such as agriculture, healthcare, transportation, and manufacturing. This surge in connected devices necessitates efficient and reliable communication channels, especially in remote or inaccessible locations where traditional networks may be unreliable or unavailable. M2M satellite communication emerges as a solution to bridge these connectivity gaps, ensuring seamless data transmission and control over dispersed and geographically distant devices. The ability to monitor, track, and manage these devices remotely enhances operational efficiency, reduces downtime, and enables timely decision-making.

The satellite communications market has seen significant changes across its value chain, bringing forth new technological innovations that include flexible satellites and more specifically, Software-Defined Satellites (SDS). Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite operators have been compelled to respond to increased competition amidst these market shifts. One approach is to optimize the utilization of GEO satellites; however, the rigidity and fixed capacity of traditional GEO satellites is a notable constraint. Therefore, the advent of flexible satellites presents an attractive solution to a variety of problems.
