Market Trends

Paris, France, May 2, 2018 - According to Euroconsult's latest report, FSS Capacity Pricing Trends, the combination of oversupply from the addition of traditional satellite capacity in certain areas along with the unrelenting rollouts of HTS capacity has resulted in new pricing references in most geographies and market segments across the FSS sector. While data-oriented markets have been the most exposed, with double-digit capacity pricing declines over the last 2-3 years, video applications have also been impacted. Other factors have included consolidation among service companies in certain segments, resulting in larger capacity buyers with more bargaining power, and heightened competition from a growing pool of national satellite operators.
