August 7, 2012 – NSR’s Global Assessment of Satellite Supply & Demand, 9th Edition report has found that commercial satellite operators grew capacity leasing revenues by $635 million between 2010 and 2011 and are aggressively targeting new markets such as mobility and other high value services in order to maintain sustained revenue expansion for the coming years.
“The Ku-band market will continue to be the main growth engine for the commercial satellite market for the coming ten years”, noted Patrick M. French, NSR Senior Analyst and the report author. “The direct-to-home (DTH) TV market alone could add $1.4 billion in net new revenues by 2021 out of $4.3 billion expected in total for the Ku-band segment. Solid Ku-band revenue gains are also expected from the video distribution, enterprise data, commercial mobility and gov/mil verticals.”
