Satellite IoT: Introduction
- Satellite IoT is commonly referred to as internet over satellite connections. Satellite IoT is a complex network and connects physical things such as sensors and actuators to the internet. Satellite IoT is the backbone to drive secure connection of different devices to the internet across sectors such as automobile, energy & utilities, oil & gas, agriculture, and forestry.
- Satellite IoT is a complete system that uses edge and cloud computing to create a secure connection with remote assets, inaccessible assets, and critical assets.
- Satellite communication supports IoT applications in various areas, including deep sea, remote sites, and mining locations, where cellular connectivity is unavailable.
- The global satellite IoT market is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to advancement in technologies across the globe.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Satellite IoT Market
- Increasing cases of COVID-19 across the globe is resulting in economic slowdown. Developed countries are strongly affected by this pandemic. Most manufacturing or production of goods has been temporarily suspended all over the world. Businesses have been adversely impacted in most countries due to partial or full lockdown. This in turn is projected to indirectly hamper the global satellite IoT market in the next few years. Lack of industrial activity is expected to result in low cash flows, further hampering the funding of projects.
North America to Hold Major Share of the Global Satellite IoT Market
- In terms of region, the global satellite IoT market can be divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America
- North America dominated the global satellite IoT market in 2019. The U.S. is the key market in the region due to the increasing adoption of satellite IoT connectivity in various sectors such as oil & gas, transport & logistics, and energy & utilities.
- The satellite IoT market in Asia Pacific is projected to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. This can be attributed to increasing digitalization & infrastructure spending across countries such as China, Japan, and India in the region
