The connected cars market is evolving, and satellite connectivity is emerging as a key missing layer that will address coverage gaps, resilience requirements and cross-border continuity. Adding this layer will create a USD74 billion cumulative retail revenue opportunity over the next 10 years.

The report provides:​

  • ​an explanation of how satellite connectivity fits into software-defined vehicle (SDV) and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) architectures, identifying where narrowband and broadband solutions create the most value across vehicle segments​
  • consumer survey insights, market sizing and usage forecasts to distinguish real willingness to pay from perceived value, helping readers prioritise commercially viable use cases.
  • targeted guidance on integration, orchestration and monetisation strategies for satellite operators, telecoms operators, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners and regulators
  • a breakdown of the role of non-terrestrial networks (NTN), 3GPP and V2X frameworks, showing how standards-based approaches are accelerating adoption of satellite connectivity.
