The global LEO satellite market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period 2021-2027. The LEO satellite is a complex telecommunication system implanted at the LEO (Low Earth Orbit) of the Earth. The distance range covered by LEO satellite systems is about 400-1000 miles above the earth surface. The application of LEO satellite includes video conferencing, e-mails, and paging. The capacity of the LEO satellite is extremely high as it moved with a speed of about 17,000 mph and can complete every single orbit in 10 minutes. 

The increasing demand for LEO satellite communication in the military and defense sector at a higher pace is anticipated to contribute as a major market driver for the growth of the global LEO satellite market. The increasing technological advancement in telecommunication industries concerning research & development, manufacturing, and production processes is driving the growth of the global LEO satellite market. Additionally, the growing applications of satellite communication over a cellular network to offer a wide range of coverage and the rising emergence of LEO based satellites as an alternative to various communication technologies including Sigfox, LPWA, LoRaWAN, and NB-IoT among others are some major factors that are expected to drive the growth of the global LEO satellite market during the forecast period.

Some market players including OneWeb Satellites, SpaceX, LeoSat Enterprises, and others have been adopted various strategies to boost the global LEO satellite market. Technological advancement, research & development, new product launches, mergers & acquisitions, and product expansion among others are some key strategies that are adopted by key vendors to remain sustenance in the global market. For instance, in April 2021, OneWeb, a UK-based LEO satellite communication operator introduces 32 new LEO satellites from Vostochny cosmodrome in Russia. This LEO satellite constellation offers efficient connectivity with low latency and faster speed.
