Asia Pacific Small Satellite Market

The study involved four major activities in estimating the current size of the Asia Pacific Small Satellite Market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on the market, peer market, and parent market. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain through primary research. Both top-down and bottom-up approaches were employed to estimate the complete market size. After that, market breakdown and data triangulation were used to estimate the market size of segments and subsegments.

Secondary Research

The ranking analysis of companies in the Asia Pacific Small Satellite Market was carried out using secondary data from paid and unpaid sources, as well as by analyzing the product portfolios and service offerings of key companies operating in the market. These companies were rated based on the performance and quality of their products. These data points were further validated by primary sources.

Secondary sources referred for this research study included the European Space Agency (ESA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), corporate filings such as annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements of trade, business, and professional associations. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the market, which was validated by primary respondents.

Primary Research

Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information regarding the Asia Pacific Small Satellite Market scenario through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from both, the demand and supply sides across major countries of North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Rest of the World. Primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews. The primary sources from the supply side included various industry experts, such as Chief X Officers (CXOs), Vice Presidents (VPs), Directors, from business development, marketing, product development/innovation teams, and related key executives from small satellite vendors; system integrators; component providers; distributors; and key opinion leaders.

Primary interviews were conducted to gather insights such as market statistics, data of revenue collected from the products and services, market breakdowns, market size estimations, market forecasting, and data triangulation. Primary research also helped in understanding the various trends related to technology, application, vertical, and region. Stakeholders from the demand side, such as CIOs, CTOs, and CSOs, and installation teams of the customer/end users who are using small satellite were interviewed to understand the buyer’s perspective on the suppliers, products, component providers, and their current usage of small satellite and future outlook of their business which will affect the overall market.

Market Definition

A small satellite, or smallsat, encompasses any satellite with a mass from approximately 1 to 1000 kilograms. These satellites are engineered to perform space missions similar to larger satellites but are constructed using smaller, lighter, and often commercially available components. The classification includes various subcategories like small, mini, micro, nano, and CubeSats, based on their mass. Small satellite typically leverages advancements in miniaturization of technology and are launched either independently or as secondary payloads, allowing for cost-effective access to space and opportunities for high-frequency mission updates and constellation deployment. These satellites are typically used by businesses and governments for a variety of applications including communication, earth observation, and scientific research.
