The global satellite 5G NR market is estimated to reach $14.47 billion in 2033 from $4.58 billion in 2022, at a growth rate of 11.92% during the forecast period 2023–2033.

The worldwide telecoms sector has seen a substantial increase in the implementation of 5G networks in recent years, which promise extraordinary data speeds, reduced latency, and increased network capacity. As traditional terrestrial networks struggle to reach remote and rural areas, satellite-based 5G NR technologies have emerged as a feasible alternative for expanding 5G coverage internationally.

This has created new potential for satellite operators and technology suppliers to engage with terrestrial network operators to provide global seamless 5G connectivity.
