What Projections and Trends Define the Airborne SATCOM Market Size and Growth?
The airborne satcom market size has seen robust performance in recent years, growing from $6.12 billion in 2024 to $6.69 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth during this period can be explained by the surge in commercial air travel, government investments in defense, globalization of military operations, emergency response and disaster management, increased data transfer requirements, and integration with avionics systems.
Looking ahead, the airborne satcom market size is predicted to continue its steady growth, increasing to $9.24 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. This growth can be attributed to developments such as commercial space industry growth, satellite constellation expansion, connectivity demand in business aviation, urban air mobility (UAM) expansion, cybersecurity concerns, and the demand for real-time data in precision agriculture. Major trends set to shake up the industry include integration of advanced technologies, emergence of next-generation SATCOM systems, increasing use in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and partnerships and collaborations.

What is Driving the Airborne SATCOM Market Growth?
The principal driver behind the airborne SATCOM market is the exponential increase in air passenger traffic. This can be understood as the aggregate number of passengers using air transport services. Technologies such as airborne SATCOM facilitate this traffic by verifying a satellite-based air traffic services datalink. For example, a June 2022 report by IATA shows a 78.7% growth in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs) —which reflect the total demand for air travel— from April 2021 to April 2022, slightly higher than the 76.0% increase from March 2022. Consequently, the sustained rise in air passenger traffic is propelling the growth of the airborne SATCOM market.
