Market Definition
A satellite transponder is an electronic device operating in the microwave range and transmitting or receiving signals. A transmitter takes input data and generates a direct-current signal to drive an antenna system. It is a device that sends and receives data from the satellite. When you send or receive data, it goes through a satellite transponder, which takes signals from earth stations sent by users and re-transmits them back to the user on downlink channel(s). The use of frequencies to communicate through satellites, and each frequency band corresponds with one type of service: voice, data, or video communications. It is a device that creates and amplifies radio signals to allow communication between two terrestrial stations. It can be used to connect multiple receiving stations with only one transmitting station.
Asia-Pacific Satellite Transponder Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:
Drivers
- The rise in demand for satellite communication and earth observation
Satellite communication is a type of modern telecommunications where artificial satellites provide communication links between various points on earth. It plays an important role in multiple business continuity and emergency management industries in various business sectors such as oil and gas, IoT, healthcare, government, maritime, mining, and others. Moreover, satellite communications have various commercial, governmental, and military applications. The Earth Observation (EO) satellites are specifically designed for monitoring the earth. It helps to monitor and protect & manage the environment and resources and warn about major natural calamities & disasters.
Moreover, satellite communication provides essential information on a vast uncharted area, including oceans and landmasses. This increasing application of artificial satellites in various industries requires satellite transponders to receive various frequency signals and transmit information back to the earth station. Therefore, the rise in demand for satellite communication is expected to act as a driver for the market's growth.
- Increase in the number of small satellites in earth's orbits
The market for small satellites is growing immensely based on consumer demands for imaging, navigation, and communications across the globe. This boom in demand for placing small satellites into orbit for various applications has boosted interest for start-ups in small rockets to enter the market. According to United Launch Alliance, around 120 start-ups for micro launchers; are small rockets that would carry single or multiple small satellites into orbit. This dramatic growth in the segment is due to the technological advancement in the satellite components such as transponders, antennae, and telescopes, which have made it possible to reduce the size of many devices and equipment; miniaturization has affected the satellite industry and space industry. These miniaturized satellites are replacing big and heavy satellites because of their small size, low price while developing, and high offered quality that has allowed the increased adoption of small satellites in orbit. This increase in small satellites has positively affected the market as these satellites carry small and powerful transponder systems.
Opportunity
- Advancement in the satellite transponder technology
With the constant demand for connectivity and advanced channel broadcasting, communication satellites are becoming more sophisticated and complex. A major part of the development of satellites has been related to the advancements in satellite transponder technology. A communications satellite transponder is a series of small, chip-sized, interconnected circuits forming a communication channel between the receiving and transmitting antennas. These circuits are integrated into satellites to provide bandwidth and power over designated radio frequencies. The transponder bandwidth and power determine the capacity of information transmitted through the transponder and how big the ground equipment must be to receive the signal. The advancement in satellite transponder technology has allowed data compression and multiplexing. Several video and audio channels may travel through a single transponder on a single wideband carrier. Such advancement has allowed the satellite manufacturer to innovate further and increase the properties of satellite transponders, which is an opportunity for the market.
Restraint/Challenge
- High cost associated with the satellite launch and transponder leasing services
As technology improves and with the entrance of various new competitors and rivals in the satellite launch service sector, the prices of launch services must go down. However, that is not the case, as launching a satellite is not an easy task/endeavor. According to Global COM, a traditional single satellite launch cost is estimated to be around USD 50 million to a high of about USD 400 million, depending on the nature and type of the satellite. Launching a space shuttle mission can cost USD 500 million, although one mission can carry multiple satellites and send them into orbit. Advanced technology and the introduction of reusable rocket launch vehicles can reduce the cost by up to USD 30 million. Therefore, instead of costing USD 100 million per flight, if the rocket is reused, it is only USD 30 million per flight for the rocket. This is still a higher cost tag associated with satellite launch services. This high cost associated with the satellite launch services directly affects the launch of the satellite and regional demand for satellite components. To avail of satellite launch services, many regional players must get capital support from the government or big market players in the satellite sector. This may restrict the satellite component's demand, negatively affecting the market.
Post COVID-19 Impact on Asia-Pacific Satellite Transponder Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the satellite transponder market to an extent in a negative manner. Increasing government funding in satellite development and in the space sector and advancement in satellite transponder technology are expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the satellite transponder market. Moreover, increasing partnerships, acquisitions and collaboration among market players and rising demand for Ku-band services are expected to fuel the market growth further. Also, the growth has been high since the market opened after COVID-19, and it is expected that there will be considerable growth in the sector. The market players are conducting multiple research and development activities to improve the technology involved in the product. With this, the companies will bring advancement and innovation to the market.
