List of Tables

[194 Pages Report] The LEO Terminals Market size was estimated at USD 6.56 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 7.75 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 18.65% to reach USD 21.73 billion by 2030.

LEO terminals are critical ground-based infrastructure components for effectively operating Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems. LEO terminals serve as the interface between LEO satellites and the end-users on the ground, facilitating two-way communication. LEO terminals comprise antennas, transceivers, and other electronic components designed to track LEO satellites that move rapidly across the sky due to their lower orbit and faster orbital speed than GEO satellites. Increasing demand for enhanced connectivity and deployment of satellites are raising the need for efficient LEO Terminals globally. However, high costs and risks associated with data breaches may adversely impact the deployment of LEO terminals. Moreover, advancements in LEO terminal components are anticipated to increase their deployment across end-use applications worldwide.
