Over the last few years, the market of Fixed Service Satellite (FSS) services continued to diversify with an increasing range of applications and significant gaps in the dynamics between the different world regions, space marker research service Euroconsult has found.
In 2005, while the world average growth improved to 6% (leading to 1,073 transponders leased), regional specificities were highlighted by the range of growth rates observed for the use of satellite capacity:
Central Europe: 27%
ME and NAfrica: 9%
North America: 7%
Southern Asia: 7%
Russia/CAsia: 7%
Latin America: 6%
Sub Sahara: 5%
Asia Pacific: 5%
Western Europe: 1%
While the development of standard digital TV broadcasting and corporate networks continues to support growth in developing regions, the most advanced markets increasingly rely on new generation applications such as high definition TV.
The World Satellite Communications and Broadcasting Markets Survey, 2006 edition provides a detailed analysis of trends and prospects for satellite applications and regions.
The combination of world dynamics with regional specificities in terms of demand and supply in the FSS market support ten year forecasts for both capacity used and revenues in the nine analyzed world regions. The provided in-depth analysis is designed to support strategic decision making in a "global" market strongly driven by local customer needs.
This reference tool is recurrently used by major satellite operators, banks and investors, satellite manufacturers, launch service providers and satellite service providers. It is also used by other players with interest for satellite communications and broadcasting such as lawyers, insurers and space agencies.
