Capacity Pricing Continues to Decrease in line with the expansion of HTS Supply and Services
Paris, Washington D.C., Montreal, Yokohama, Sydney, February 23, 2023. In their latest edition of the FSS Capacity Pricing Trends report, Euroconsult, the leading global consulting firm for satellite-enabled markets, reported that fixed-satellite service (FSS) capacity pricing is decreasing at a rapid rate due to services supported by next-generation geostationary (GEO) and non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) HTS systems such as Starlink undercutting the market. At the highest industry level, FSS capacity pricing continued to erode in 2022, as the global volume of leased and used capacity increased at a rate that far outpaced the growth in satellite operator revenues.
