hile a few high-profile companies have filed for bankruptcy in the last 12 months, overall, the satellite sector seems to have held up well under tough economic conditions that have created a recession that has spread around the globe. The State of the Satellite Industry Report, issued by Futron for the Satellite Industry Association (SIA), looks at the performance of the satellite industry in 2008, and while those numbers cannot provide a true look at the impact of the recession, they still provide some interesting figures on the overall health of the satellite industry and show the strong fundamentals which underpin the satellite sector. Overall, worldwide industry growth was 19 percent from 2007 to 2008, compared with a 15 percent increase from 2006 to 2007. The satellite service market was
particularly robust, generating $84 billion in revenues in 2008, up from $72.6 billion in 2007. Other analysts also see strong growth in the sector. Overall, revenues of FSS operators saw a revenue growth of around 10 percent in 2008 for an increase of 9 percent in capacity leased, says Pacome Revillon, CEO of French satellite consultancy Euroconsult. Our estimates for 2009 and 2010 correspond to a growth of capacity of around 6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. Compared to the global economic growth that should remain lower, relatively sustained demand for satellite capacity should support growth. The Space Foundations Space Report says the global space economy grew nearly 2.5 percent in 2008, rising to $257 billion in worldwide space revenues. The largest segments of the space economy were in commercial infrastructure and commercial satellite services, which
