Cambridge, MA – June 9, 2020 – NSR’s Global Satellite Capacity Supply and Demand, 17^th Edition report, released today, finds COVID-19 having a deep, near term impact on key satellite capacity growth areas,  but the industry will bounce back to 2019 revenue levels in 3 years. Despite near term challenges, NSR is still bullish on long-term potential, forecasting Satcom revenues reaching $26.5 Billion by 2029. Backhaul, Consumer Broadband, Gov/Mil, and some Maritime segments, show high levels of resiliency against COVID-19, albeit new installs have been impacted by supply chain issues and lockdowns. On the other hand, Aero and Cruise have seen their growth trajectory truncated, but they have not lost their long-term potential.
