Based on service, the market is divided into earth observation, communications, navigation & positioning, meteorology & weather forecasting, surveillance & security, and others. The earth observation segment dominates by surpassing a value of over USD 13 billion by 2032. Earth observation data serves a broader range of applications than other sectors such as communication or navigation. This data is widely used to monitor deforestation, evaluate the effects of climate change, and analyze natural disasters. Monitoring crop health, managing irrigation operations, and projecting crop yields are all critical applications in the agriculture sector. Urban planners rely heavily on apps that track urban development, manage infrastructure projects, and monitor environmental changes within cities. Along with this, several government organizations and research institutes make significant investments in earth observation projects due to their importance in environmental protection, resource management, and climate change research.

Based on satellite, the market is divided into low earth orbit (LEO), medium earth orbit (MEO), geostationary orbit (GEO), and others. The low earth orbit (LEO) simulators segment held a major market share of around 34% in 2023 and is expected to grow significantly. LEO satellites typically offer lower latency due to their proximity to Earth, making them ideal for applications requiring real-time data transmission such as Earth observation, remote sensing, and IoT connectivity. Companies like SpaceX's Starlink, OneWeb, and Planet operate LEO satellite constellations and have been actively expanding their presence in the market.

North America dominated the global satellite data services market with a share of over 31% in 2023. The region has a strong history of space exploration and quickly absorbs new technology. Governments and commercial corporations make significant investments in satellite infrastructure & data services. The National Space Strategy stresses public-private partnerships to develop effective space-based security systems. The presence of major satellite manufacturers and research organizations in this region encourages innovation in the industry. Also, a well-developed network of ground stations enables efficient data receipt and processing. Along with this, several government policies and financial schemes promote the development & use of satellite data services, particularly in this region, and the open distribution of Landsat satellite images by the U.S. government promotes study & innovation in a variety of fields.
