October 22, 2019 | Business WireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Technavio has been monitoring the global satellite manufacturing and launch market since 2015 and the market is poised to grow by $5.73 billion, progressing at a CAGR of over 4% during the forecast period.
The market is driven by increasing demand for satellite-based telemetry systems. In addition, the trend of miniaturization is anticipated to boost the growth of the satellite manufacturing and launch market.
The growing demand for mapping and location-based services by defense, science, and R&D organizations has increased the use of satellite telemetry. For instance, the US Government uses satellite telemetry to provide satellite tracking, telemetry, and command to specific users through several ground-based antennas located across the world. End-users such as surveyors, farmers, miners, fishermen, engineers, and other decision-makers also leverage earth observation data to meet their business objectives. The increasing demand for satellite-based telemetry systems is expected to fuel market growth during the forecast period.
