NSR’s newly released Cloud Computing via Satellite, 3^rd Edition sees Cloud Service Delivery via Satellite positioned to generate US$ 32 Billion, with 240+ Exabytes of Traffic, by 2031. The impending wave of LEO, MEO, and GEO-HTS satcom and data services is set to boost long- term cloud adoption, significantly enhancing market engagement opportunities.

Going forward, Cloud will play a key role in bridging gaps between traditional upstream aerospace/satellite players focused on manufacturing spacecraft and launching into orbit, and downstream end users and middle layer organizations, where demand resides.
 
“With the need to address user-specific requirements across verticals, Cloud solutions adoption is expected to increase,” states report co-author Shivaprakash Muruganandham. “Cloud-hosted applications, cloud storage/processing by geospatial analytics providers, and direct cloud connectivity for satcom will all further growth in this market, evolving business models development.”
New partnerships and service roll out offer market capture and growth potential, as satellite players vie to capture the untapped addressable markets across verticals, from communications to data downlink and geospatial analytics.
 
“The market for data downlink onto cloud servers towards EO applications is growing significantly,” notes report co-author Prachi Kawade. “Driven by an increasing number of constellations and increasingly rich information driving toward higher volumes, particularly with HR and VHR data, be it SAR, hyperspectral or sub-meter resolution optical imagery, opportunity is set to broaden.”
 
While 98% of data traffic come from satcom cloud services, volume is growing for Earth Observation, Situational Awareness and science applications as large cloud and IT players make further in-roads into traditional satellite industry, shaking up the market ecosystem.
Muruganandham concludes, “Cloud adoption is lowering the barriers to entry for space-derived data services, especially on the downstream side of the market. With greater opportunities available to them than in the past, today’s start-ups born in the cloud are shaping the future of the satellite industry.”

Cloud Computing via Satellite,
3rd Edition

As the only report on this sector, Cloud Computing via Satellite, 3rd Edition (CCvS3) evaluates the impact cloud has as it changes and expands the value chain, leading to newer business models and the inherent advantages it brings.

CCvS3 leverages NSR’s leading research into satellite communications, Global Satellite Manufacturing and Launch, Earth Observation (EO), and Big Data Analytics markets across a range of verticals.  Providing insight into the “cloudification” of the satellite value chain, NSR's Cloud Computing via Satellite, 3rd Edition (CCvS3) not only looks at a diverse list of segments from managed services for satcom to big data applications for downstream geospatial analytics, it forecasts recent trends such as edge compute services using in-space assets, ranging from on-board processing to on-orbit compute solutions. Satellite operators and service providers are rolling out tighter integration across functions, extending their services to adapt well known cloud-based delivery models for the satellite industry.
