Dublin, Jan. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “5G Satellite Communication Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The 5G satellite communication market is witnessing remarkable growth, projected to expand from $6.8 billion in 2025 to $8.5 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%. This upward trajectory is largely due to increased demand for high-speed connectivity in remote locations, advancements in satellite and 5G integration, and strategic collaborations between satellite operators and telecom providers for defense and enterprise applications. By 2030, the market is anticipated to reach $20.59 billion with a CAGR of 24.8%, fueled by expanding low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, a surge in low-latency and high-capacity data service demand, and broader adoption in maritime, aviation, and remote industrial sectors.
A significant driver of this growth is the escalating mobile data consumption, propelled by an increasing appetite for video streaming and high-definition content. Supporting this trend, 5G satellite communication ensures robust data transmission in areas beyond the reach of traditional cellular networks. The global rise in mobile data usage, exemplified by GSMA findings, highlights a jump from 10.2 GB per monthly user in 2022 to 12.8 GB in 2023.
Key industry players are focusing on technological innovations, such as merging terrestrial and satellite networks. This integration, offering global connectivity with reduced latency, supports seamless communication across urban and remote areas. For instance, in January 2024, Skylo Technologies launched its pioneering Direct-to-Device service providing direct satellite connectivity to consumer devices, eliminating the need for extra hardware.
On the corporate front, SES S.A. expanded its reach by acquiring Intelsat S.A. for $3.1 billion in April 2024. This acquisition aims to fortify SES’s position as a leader in multi-orbit connectivity, enhancing global coverage and operational resilience.
Leading companies such as Amazon.com Inc., The Boeing Company, and Qualcomm Incorporated are at the forefront of this market. North America dominated the market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region. The market faces challenges from global trade dynamics and tariffs, potentially causing supply chain disruptions but also driving regional production and innovations.
