The US is the largest manufacturer of satellites, and it accounts for 70% of the global satellite market. More than 75% of the total revenue generated from the satellite manufacturing can be attributed to government contracts that dealt with weather forecasting, imaging, and internet provision, and satellite television services.

Competitive vendor landscape

The global low-cost satellite market is characterized by the presence of many global, regional, and local vendors. The market is highly competitive with all the players competing to gain the maximum market share. Intense competition, rapid advances in technology, frequent changes in government policies, and environmental regulations are key factors that confront the market growth.

"In addition, in-house manufacturing capabilities, global footprint network, product offerings, R&D investments, and a strong client base have become the key areas to have the edge over the competitors," says Avimanyu Basu, a lead space research analyst from Technavio.

The vendors compete based on cost, product quality, reliability, and aftermarket service. It is crucial for the vendors to provide advanced and high-quality low-cost satellites in order to survive and succeed in an intensely competitive market environment.
