Straits Research published report, “Satellite NTN Market Size & Outlook, 2026–2034.” According to the study, the market size is valued at USD 297.4 million in 2025 and is projected to expand to USD 3,702.6 million by 2034, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 34.8%.

Market Dynamics

Global Satellite NTN Market is driven by growing demand for permanent global connectivity and growing 5G non-terrestrial network (NTN) deployments to enable seamless communication in remote and underserved locations. Growing adoption of direct-to-device (D2D) and Internet of Things (IoT) satellite connectivity in maritime, defense, and aviation applications is fueling market growth.

Strong investment in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations and spectrum for 5G-NTN integration is transforming the communications environment. On top of that, increased collaboration between mobile network operators (MNOs) and satellite service providers to expand coverage and improve network resiliency is fueling adoption. U.S., European, and Asian-Pacific governments and space agencies are vigorously promoting NTN development through public-private partnerships and funding initiatives, opening up new possibilities for innovation and commercialization of the satellite communication value chain.
