The global high altitude platforms market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2027. The high altitude platform is deployed at a higher altitude of about 50,000 feet from sea level. It was located on the stratosphere layer of the hemisphere and are applicable to cover a widespread area for various purpose including surveillance, communication and navigation. As an alternative to the satellite system, this high altitude platform is referred to due to the ability to perform a similar task as of the satellite with more efficient and economic operations. 

The global market of high altitude platforms is projected to witness lucrative growth owing to its widespread applications in estimated duration. The increasing adoption in weather monitoring, rising advantages over satellite systems, the rising penetration of internet services globally, increasing demand for e-learning, online payments, gaming and e-surveillance, and rapid development in the defence sector are some major factors implemented to drive the market growth.

Additionally, the growing development in technological advancement and increasing advantages of high altitude platforms over the satellite system are the most dominant factors that promote the growth of the global high altitude platforms market.  The system deployment, operations and functioning of high altitude platforms are highly efficient, economic and noteworthy over the satellite system in terms of ability. This will enhance the application of high altitude platforms for the conduct of various activities performed by satellite systems and emerge as the dominant factor to drive the market growth of the market. In the defence sector, the demand for high altitude platforms is rising sequentially for commercialization and monitoring purposes, which is further projected to raise the market growth during the forecast period.
