"Satellite manufacturers and launch service providers need to diversify their services in order to remain competitive."

This report provides a forecast of satellite orders and launches worldwide between 2023 and 2033. It also includes strategy recommendations to help satellite operators and launch service providers (LSPs) to be competitive.

Non-geostationary orbit (GEO) constellations will account for many of the satellite orders and launches during the forecast period, but large systems for crew and cargo applications will generate the majority of the manufacturing and launch revenue.
