The surge in COVID-19 and supply chain disruptions have not much impacted the satellite sectors. The impact of COVID-19 was analyzed in three scenarios: realistic, optimistic, and pessimistic. However, realistic scenarios were considered for further calculations. Production of satellite systems, components and assembly lines was moderate. The launch has been delayed due to the impact of COVID-19 on the space industry. Production activities ceased and some companies filed for bankruptcy. Current satellite launch contracts and supply of satellite subsystems are expected to continue on a revised schedule, with launches expected to recover rapidly from 2022. In June 2020, the U.S. military awarded a contract to launch a small satellite to fund COVID-19 relief. According to the U.S. Department of Defence procurement notice, exclusive supply agreements are signed between Aevum, Astra, XBow, Rocket Lab, Space Vector and VOX Space.
The key factor driving the market growth are ongoing technological advancement in satellite payload as well as space technology and number of satellites launches around the globe. The ongoing technological advancement in satellite payload as well as space technology and number of satellites launches around the globe is driving the growth of satellite payloads around the globe. Similarly, the rising investment into research and development in making more lighter, durable and cost-efficient payloads is expected to fuel the market growth in the future. Communication payload in telecom satellite is the largest application as they require continuous performance development and technological improvement to meet the worldwide demand. Nowadays due to advancement in technology the RF payloads are getting lighter in weight with the use of digital signal processing and use of optical technology in some case. The satellites are also being extensively used for mapping and navigation to provide precise and accurate location to the user. Countries are investing a huge amount of money on navigation satellites to upgrade its current navigational and mapping system.
The global Satellite Payloads market is expected to witness increasing new growth opportunities for market. Flexibility and ability to reconfigure a satellite payloads that is already in orbit are something operators have been asking for years. Especially for operators of Geostationary Orbit (GEO) satellites payloads that usually have lifespans of 15 years or more, the ability to adjust the spacecraft to the changing needs of the market is essential. That might include moving a satellite into a different position or even switching its functionality from TV broadcasting to internet connectivity—something that would be impossible with the traditional hardware-defined satellite payloads. Recently American satellite manufacturer Lockheed Martin launched a bunch of CubeSats into the Low-Earth Orbit (LEO). These CubeSats, however, will be somewhat different from regular CubeSats
The major restraining factor for the global Satellite Payloads market are government policies related to satellite launch, high development cost and lack of intellectual assets. Government policies at both the nation-state and international levels directly or indirectly influence the evolution of the small satellite ecosystem and industry. Currently, there is no comprehensive global or domestic on-orbit regulation regime. There are regulations related to the launch and re-entry of satellites in the spectrum, and remote sensing in the US; for example, there are no regulations related to on-orbit activities, such as rendezvous and proximity operations, space-based Space Situational Awareness (SSA), or RF mapping. Internationally, with more than 70 countries engaged in satellite payloads activities, a consensus has not been reached, and there are a few indicators that depict that there will be a comprehensive global regime beyond the high-level dictates in the Outer Space Treaty.
The major growth challenge for the market is Concern over space debris and rising capital for satellite payloads manufacturing and launch. Satellite payloads may pose a threat to the space environment as they are often launched in densely populated orbits. This is because small satellite payloads are subsidiary payloads that are piggybacked on launches dedicated to much larger and more expensive satellites. They are generally deployed near or with other large satellites. These large satellites are positioned in sun-synchronous orbits or geostationary transfer orbits, which have space debris. Nano satellites and microsatellites lack the maneuverability required to move around in such orbits. Native radar signatures of these satellite payloads are typically small and often below the threshold of perception for space surveillance sensors.

With increasing demand for various Satellite Payloads in various applications has led the increasing demand for market and is expected to witness the growth at a specific CAGR from 2021-2028.
The global Satellite Payloads market comprises of different market segment like Orbit Type, PayLoad Weight, Application and Geography.
By orbit type the satellite payload market is divided into low earth orbit (LEO), Medium Earth orbit (MEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). A low earth orbit is one that is closer to the earth's surface. LEO has an altitude of less than 1000 kilometres but can be as low as 160 kilometres above the earth's surface. Low orbital is useful for satellite imaging because of its close proximity to Earth, but it isn't very useful for telecommunication because it moves at a much faster speed and requires a lot more effort to track. LEO satellites do not always follow the same path around the Earth; their plane can be tilted, which means a satellite will have more available routes in LEO, and thus LEO is the most commonly used orbit. In this orbit, the communication satellite forms a net around the Earth, providing constant coverage. A medium range orbit, on the other hand, is located between LEO and GEO. MEO satellites are used for navigation. Because they are at a higher altitude, satellites in this orbit can cover a large portion of the Earth's surface. This reduces the need for satellites to cover the entire earth's surface. However, because of their high altitude, MEO satellites require more transmission power than LEO satellites.
On the basis of payload weight, the satellite payload market is divided into low, medium and high weight. High or large payload satellites are those that weigh more than 1000kg, carry a much heavier payload, travel a longer distance, and are used for space exploration. These satellites must travel very long distances, necessitating a large payload of more powerful instruments such as antennas, higher radio frequency, and improved computing power. They are also outfitted with larger solar panels, as their distance from the sun necessitates larger panels in order to generate electricity. A minisatellite, microsatellite, Nano satellite, or Pico satellite is a small payload satellite. A minisatellite weighs between 100 and 500 kg, a microsatellite weighs between 10 and 100 kg, a Nano satellite weighs between 1 and 10 kg, and a Pico satellite weighs less than 1 kg. Medium payload satellites range in weight from 500 to 1000 kg. Medium payload satellites are mostly used for navigation.
On the basis of application, the satellite payload market is used for communication, mapping and navigation, security and surveillance, remote sensing and others which include earth and space observation, meteorology and scientific research. Air-to-ground and space-to-ground communications have advanced dramatically in the last decade. The interaction between airborne and ground stations, in particular, has advanced significantly. As a result, the use of communication satellites is increasing. Satellites are used for mapping and navigation to provide precise information about position, routes, speed, and timing. The mapping and navigation system is extremely useful for military, navy, and air force personnel navigating in remote areas. Military uses satellites for security and surveillance for aerial surveillance along the country's borders. This allows military personnel to determine enemy positions during combat and devise effective strategies to protect the country's borders. Surveillance can also assist an army in determining routes for their convoy in remote areas such as high altitude mountains and terrains where permanent roads cannot be built. Satellite remote sensing is used to detect and monitor physical characteristics of an area.
