“By hardware, signal transmission module is expected to hold the largest share.”
The signal transmission module segment holds the largest share of the LEO PNT market because it is widely used for delivering accurate navigation, time synchronization, and secure communication. Its role in controlling signal transmission among users and satellites keeps it ahead in aviation, defense, and strategic infrastructure markets. Additional applications of high-frequency and interference-resistant signals also help maintain its market leadership.
“By satellite mass, CubeSat is expected to record the highest CAGR.”
CubeSat represents the fastest-growing segment of the LEO PNT market, driven by factors such as the affordability of launches due to the compactness of small satellites, the potential for rapid expansion of satellite constellations, and the availability of more space for testbed PNT missions. These satellites can carry advanced payloads such as GNSS receivers, atomic clocks, and signal authentication modules, making them attractive for both military and commercial applications. Additionally, increasing government-sponsored initiatives for small satellites and rising individual investments are contributing to the growth of CubeSat applications in secure and distributed PNT architectures.
“North America is expected to be the fastest-growing market for LEO PNT.”
North America is witnessing the fastest growth in the LEO PNT market. This growth can be attributed to strong government spending, defense upgrade projects, and the early adoption of next-generation satellite navigation technology. The presence of major market players, combined with a heightened demand for backup PNT solutions due to vulnerabilities in GNSS, is also fueling local growth. The increasing commercial use of PNT in aviation, logistics, and autonomous systems further positions North America as the fastest-growing region during the forecast period.
