In September 2026, Novaspace released the second edition of its Satellite Communications for Defense and Security report in Paris, France. The analysis highlights that the defense‑oriented satellite communications market is poised for rapid growth.
According to the report, commercial satellite service revenues within the defense sector are projected to surpass $22.6 billion by 2035. This figure reflects the expected increase in demand for secure, reliable satcom capabilities among military and governmental users.
The forecast is based on an assessment of current trends and anticipated future requirements, including heightened geopolitical tensions and the need for resilient network infrastructure. Novaspace notes that these factors drive the projected revenue increase.
The updated edition serves as a reference for stakeholders seeking to understand the scale and trajectory of the defense satcom market over the coming decade.
