Press Releases

The Global Space-Based Laser Communication Market size was valued at USD 0.6 billion in 2023. It is likely to grow up to USD 3.9 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 21% during the forecast period ranging between 2025 and 2030.

Spacecrafts and satellites use space-based laser communication technology to send data and records. This sector makes use of fast and slender laser beams rather than conventional radio waves, thereby achieving greater velocity and better bandwidth. It is just as fiber optic, but right here all the facts aredispatched through space or vacuum. The most crucial factor riding the increase of this marketplace is its growing use within the defense and safety quarter, specially within the US and Europe. High-speed and uninterrupted connectivity for data and information transfer are the crucial factors that drives the growth of theglobal space-based laser communication market. However the high cost of this technology is hampering the market growth.
