The satellite communications sector in India will grow at over 6 per cent per year driven by direct-to-home (DTH) pay TV, VSAT networks and cellular backhaul markets, according to Euroconsult’s report ‘India Satcom Markets 2014’.

The Indian satcom sector has experienced significant growth over the past five years on the back of explosive demand from DTH pay TV platforms and growing telecommunication needs in the country, the report added.

The report also mentioned that the demand for regular C- and Ku-band capacity is expected to grow at 6 per cent per annum between 2013 and 2023, in addition to new demand for satellite communication services using high throughout satellite (HTS) systems that should see strong take-up towards the end of the decade.

“Changes in the country’s satcom policy, which is expected to be released in 2014, should bring positive changes and contribute to additional growth in satcom markets over the coming years, in particular for services using Ku-band capacity from foreign operators,” said Euroconsult senior consultant Deepu Krishnan.

Satellite capacity demand from DTH broadcasting grew at a CAGR of over 7 per cent from 2008–2013, now representing 32 per cent of the country’s total commercial satellite capacity usage, the report added.
