NSR’s Maritime Connectivity, 11th Edition report offers valuable insights and analysis, helping industry stakeholders understand market dynamics and capitalize on growth opportunities in maritime SatCom markets.

Focusing on the impacts from Non-GEO systems such as the ‘new entrants’ of Starlink, OneWeb, and mPower this edition explores the role of GEO vs. Non-GEO (NGSO) connectivity in the maritime SATCOM markets. Building from a regional and segment level view, the report is broken down into 5 vessel types – Merchant, Passenger, Offshore, Fishing, and Leisure. Each segmentation provides insight into In-service units, retail revenues, capacity demand and revenue. Overall, as more capacity choices come online over the next ten years Maritime SATCOM players will need to have a carefully crafted capacity strategy in place to optimize revenues and meet customer demands. 

As the impacts of COVID-19 fall away from the market, digitalization and throughput requirements remain. Passenger vessels are seeing a surge in connectivity requirements, oil and gas / Offshore demand persist on a per-vessel basis, and now might be the time for crew welfare provisioning to become a key driver of demand. Towards 2032, new terminal form factors and price points will unlock smaller and smaller vessels, new business models will help capture marginal use-cases, and overall, the demand for maritime satellite connectivity continues to expand. 

Bottom line, NSR’s Maritime Connectivity, 11th Edition helps industry stakeholders make informed decisions about their business strategies and investments in this important evolving market.

Covered in this Report:
  • NEW in this Edition – Focus on the uptake and impact of NGSO Players such as Starlink and OneWeb 
  • 8 Regions – NAM, LAM, EU, MEA, ASIA, AOR, IOR, POR, ARC 
  • Forecasts for 5 vessel markets – Merchant, Passenger, Offshore, Fishing, Leisure. 
  • Overview of VSAT demand for each vessel market.
Key Findings:
  • Merchant Vessels – VSAT adoption increasing across merchant market. IoT and Cloud-to-Vessel adoption is occurring across fleets, including more SD-WAN installations. 
  • Passenger Vessels – Cruise liners trialing NGSO connectivity e.g., SpaceX Starlink. Passenger vessels are optimizing their fleets network to automate data processing. 
  • Offshore Vessels – A market that is filled with VSAT architecture. Early trials of NGSO low latency connectivity taking place in Q1 of 2023 e.g., SpaceX Starlink.  
  • Fishing Vessels – Vessel optimization for HTS architecture is occurring and is a given with new builds. VSAT adoption is on the rise across the fishing market.
  • Leisure Vessels – NGSO adoption is occurring across both small and super yachts. VSAT adoption is happening on small yachts due to affordable price tag. 

Overall cumulative revenue for the forecast period is USD$42.2 billion and a CAGR of 9.5%.
