The global satellite internet market size was valued at USD 8,231.47 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6% from 2023 to 2030. Satellite internet is a wireless network that covers satellite dishes in space and on Earth. It connects people in remote locations worldwide and provides access to up-to-date information. Satellite internet is accessed via high-speed network connectivity provided by satellites circling the Earth. It is faster than standard internet service and distinct from land-based broadband services such as digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable. Satellite communication provides a land-based interface with voice, video, and information that can be accessed anywhere on the planet.

One of the most significant benefits of satellite internet for businesses is the ability to transmit a connection anywhere in the world at many megabits per second over remote locations such as oceans and mountains. On the other hand, a secure and private link can connect numerous remote places separated by considerable distances. Due to the absence of other broadband internet alternatives, demand for the satellite internet market is growing in rural areas. Additionally, satellite internet can provide access to the internet in remote regions like deserts and mountainous areas where it is difficult to access broadband, which increases the demand for satellite internet in these regions. Also, satellite internet technology provides customers with incredible speed and data. As a result, emerging economies such as India, Vietnam, and Malaysia are rapidly adopting these services, which in turn boosts the growth of the market.
