India Fixed Satellite Services Market

India Fixed Satellite Services Market Overview:

The India fixed satellite services market size reached USD 2.30 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 3.20 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 3.30% during 2025-2033. The market is witnessing significant growth, driven by the rising demand for high-throughput satellites and the expansion of satellite-based broadband services.

India Fixed Satellite Services Market Trends:

Growing Demand for High-Throughput Satellites (HTS)

The demand for High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) in India’s fixed satellite services market is gaining momentum with their corrected view. Satellite communication is being transformed by HTS's capacity to maximize bandwidth utility more efficiently and cost-effectively. This recent development is fueled by the growing need for assured broadband connectivity in rural and remote areas, alongside increasing demand from diverse applications, such as video broadcasting and the Internet of Things (IoT). For instance, in India during October 2024, Viasat, in association with BSNL, successfully demonstrated direct-to-device satellite connectivity using 3GPP Release 17 standards—thus, proving that satellite personal broadband is feasible for Indian users with smart phones. Also, government initiatives to bridge the digital divide are fostering the switch to HTS in underserved areas. Uninterrupted and high-speed communication services are pressing needs, with the education, e-health, and agricultural segments owing to India's vast population and an equally surging economy. HTS technology will strengthen India's goal of being a global space hub with active collaborations being made by ISRO with companies in the private sector to enhance satellite infrastructure. With growing competition in the subcontinent, the vitees are now investing into the advanced fleet of satellites and innovative service details to adapt to the changing needs of both enterprise and consumer customers; thus, HTS is coming out to be a prominent growth engine in India’s satellite services market.

Expansion of Satellite-based Broadband Services

The expansion of satellite-based broadband services is rapidly emerging as a dominant trend within the Indian fixed satellite services market. As India aims to provide affordable and accessible internet connectivity across the nation, satellite broadband is playing a pivotal role, especially in remote and rural areas where terrestrial networks are limited or unavailable. For instance, in March 2025, Bharti Airtel announced partnership with SpaceX to introduce Starlink’s high-speed satellite internet in India, pending regulatory approvals, with a focus on aligning with the country’s policies and objectives. The growing reliance on digital platforms for education, e-commerce, healthcare, and entertainment, along with the government's push for "Digital India," has accelerated the adoption of satellite broadband services. Key market players are introducing innovative solutions to meet the increasing demand for high-speed internet services, which are essential for both personal and professional use. Furthermore, the ongoing advancements in satellite technology are enabling greater bandwidth capacity and lower latency, enhancing the overall quality of service. Companies like SpaceX, OneWeb, and Hughes Communications are entering the Indian market, providing a variety of satellite broadband options to cater to diverse needs. As India's digital economy continues to expand, satellite broadband services are expected to play an increasingly critical role in facilitating connectivity in underserved regions, helping bridge the urban-rural digital divide and enabling inclusive growth. This shift represents a significant opportunity for both new entrants and established satellite service providers in the market.
