Market Trends

Paris, February 19, 2025 – Space consulting and market intelligence firm Novaspace has released the 7th edition of its FSS Capacity Pricing Trends report, analyzing the shift in satellite capacity pricing as the industry moves from scarcity to abundance. As new-generation satellites drive down costs, traditional wholesale leasing models are under increasing pressure. Operators are responding by adopting value-based pricing and innovative service models to remain competitive. Falling cost structures are reshaping pricing strategies across the sector. Starlink has led the push for lower $/GB pricing, reaching approximately US$ 0.20 per month for consumer broadband in most regions. Meanwhile, other operators are introducing competing plans, intensifying market competition. “The shift from ‘scarcity’ to ‘abundance’ of capacity supply is pushing operators to embrace value-driven pricing strategies,” said Grace Khanuja, Senior Consultant at Novaspace.
