Global SATCOM-on-the-move market is projected to witness a CAGR of 11.19% during the forecast period 2025-2032, growing from USD 22.43 billion in 2024 to USD 52.40 billion in 2032. The SATCOM-on-the-Move (SOTM) market is increasingly viable due to the rise in need for effective, high-throughput solutions for reliable and seamless communications in mobile environments. In the case of military forces, uninterrupted and connected vehicle-mounted or airborne capabilities are required to ensure real-time mission command, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, which are often needed in remote and contested operating environments. Across the commercial sector, transiting aircraft in aviation (e.g., commercial passenger, cargo, military), maritime vessels (e.g., merchant vessels, cruise ships), land-based transportation (e.g., e-tailing and logistics), these commercial sectors and requisite operational vehicles will require a commercial satellite communications (SATCOM)-on-the-move (SOTM) capability for seamless data, voice, and video connectivity while traveling. Moreover, with the proliferation of unmanned systems (e.g., drones, autonomous vehicles, etc.), SOTM has the same satellite connectivity requirements as manned vehicles. In addition, technology and hardware play a critical role in enabling a slew of SOTM solutions into previously underdeveloped and unsupported military-operated air and land vehicles.
The advances in antenna design (lightweight, low-profile antennas, and compact or foldable options) are seeing a less restrictive operational environment punctuated with more efficient satellite networks (often termed SATCOM) or satellite internet solution options (e.g., LEO services with satellite Internet). In recent years, the growing urgency to ensure resilient mobile communication-whether in military operations, humanitarian assistance, natural disaster response, civic emergency management, or logistics-has driven the adoption of more SOTM (Satellite on the Move) applications across these sectors.
For instance, in May 2025, Gilat Satellite Networks Ltd., the newly established defense division of Gilat Satellite Networks, redefined end-to-end satellite communication (SATCOM) solutions for modern military and government operations.
