This research study involved the extensive use of secondary sources, directories, and databases, such as D&B Hoovers, Bloomberg Businessweek, and Factiva, to identify and collect useful information on the satellites market. Secondary sources included the space library and product brochures of leading satellite providers. Primary sources included experts from core and related industries, preferred suppliers, manufacturers, solution providers, technology developers, alliances, and organizations related to all segments of the industry’s value chain. All primary sources were interviewed to obtain and verify critical qualitative and quantitative information and assess the prospects of the satellites market. A deductive approach, also known as the bottom-up approach combined with the top-down approach, was used to forecast the market size of different market segments.
Secondary Research
The ranking of companies in the satellites market was carried out using secondary data from paid and unpaid sources and by analyzing their product portfolios and service offerings. These companies were rated based on the performance and quality of their products. The data points were further validated by primary sources.
Secondary sources referred to for this research study included the European Space Agency (ESA), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), annual reports, investor presentations, and financial statements of trade, business, and professional associations. The secondary data was collected and analyzed to arrive at the overall size of the market, which was validated by primary respondents.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after obtaining information about the current scenario of the satellites market through secondary research. Several primary interviews were conducted with market experts from the demand and supply sides across five regions, namely North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and the Rest of the World. This primary data was collected through questionnaires, emails, and telephonic interviews.

Market Definition
A satellite is an artificial object placed in orbit around a planet or celestial body to perform specific functions, such as communication, Earth observation, navigation, or scientific research. Satellites collect and transmit data back to Earth, enabling a wide range of applications across industries. The classification includes various subcategories like small, medium and large, based on their mass. Satellites leverages advancements in miniaturization of technology and are launched either independently or as secondary payloads, allowing for cost-effective access to space and opportunities for high-frequency mission updates and constellation deployment. The satellites are typically used by businesses and governments for a variety of applications and depending on their function, satellites operate in different orbits such as low Earth orbit (LEO), medium Earth orbit (MEO), or geostationary orbit (GEO) and other orbits.
