The global optical satcom terminals market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period (2021-2027). Military units can organise and coordinate their infantry and units in the field via communication satellites. They allow for tactical communication while on the go and are simple to integrate into vehicles, naval vessels, and aeroplanes.

Communication links between spacecraft are an important part of space infrastructure. Reducing the number of earth stations required to serve the system is also significant. Due to the necessity to communicate in all weather circumstances, the link from the GEO satellite to the ground is implemented using microwaves. The interorbital link (IOL) can use either microwave or optical technology. The antenna can be substantially smaller due to the optical beam widths being much lower than in microwaves, resulting in extremely high antenna gains on both transmit and receive. The European Space Agency (ESA) is working on putting optical terminals on satellites in GEO orbit within the next decade. The first is the ARTEMIS technology demonstration satellite, which carries both microwave and the SILEX optical interorbital communications terminal, which uses direct detection and GaAIAs diode laser technology.

The increasing use of optical satellite communication is driving the growth of the global optical satcom terminals market. Various advantages of wireless communication, such as decreased deployment costs, ease of network topology creation, and flexible network maintenance, have boosted the number of mobile users globally. As a result, the demand for high-speed data transmission has increased as the number of mobile phone users has grown. Furthermore, the demand for high network bandwidth has increased as multimedia services such as video-on-demand, audio-on-demand, and peer-to-peer have grown in popularity. Furthermore, the growing adoption of advanced technology such as machine-to-machine communication and the Internet of Things is driving demand for high data rates, which has boosted the global optical satcom terminal market.
