LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global mobile satellite services (MSS) market report. This research report also lists 16 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
The global MSS market was valued at USD 3.32 billion in 2015 and will reach USD 4.84 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 7.83%. The global MSS market will experience steady growth during the forecast period because of the growing adoption of satellite communication devices and services in emerging nations. In addition, the rapid adoption and use of satellite communication for disaster management in developed nations will enhance the market growth over the next few years. Satellite broadband services are in high demand as emergency applications require high-quality data services with a global coverage for enhanced safety features.
Competitive vendor landscape
Competition in the global mobile satellite services market is moderate due to the high initial investment required for new vendors entering the market. Vendors are competing in the market based on innovation, performance, product features, quality, and technology. Any advancement in a particular technology could make existing products obsolete. Vendors across the world are actively working to evolve and deploy their solution independently or with the help of channel partners to consolidate their market position. Therefore, to remain competitive in the market, vendors not only have to develop technologically but also have to follow the emerging technologies that could have an impact on their product lines.
“The key players in this market such as Inmarsat, Iridium Communications, Globalstar, and ORBCOMM find scope for launching new satellites and constellations with innovative capabilities to target diversified markets. The MSS market is still dominated by Inmarsat, Iridium Communications, and Thuraya,” says Rakesh Kumar Panda, a lead M2M and connected devices analyst from Technavio.
Companies operating in satellite market with the support of data aggregation capabilities can enter into this market, which further intensifies the market competition. It is also important for these companies to protect their patents and complex proprietary technology from destructions to improve the efficiency of business operations and focus on VAS revenues. Competition also rises from telecommunication service providers who deliver sophisticated two-way satellite-based data and voice communication services.
