The healthcare satellite connectivity market is expected to grow from US$ 6,797.22 million in 2021 to US$ 10,105.21 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2021 to 2028.

The growth of the healthcare satellite connectivity market is mainly attributed to factors such as the government initiatives for promotion and development of satellite connectivity-based solutions in healthcare and rising Adoption of e-Health. However, concerns regarding data privacy hinder the market growth.

Government initiatives play a vital role in boosting the adoption of satellite-enabled technology in healthcare as significant investments are required in deploying solutions such as telemedicine and mobile healthcare. Many governments focus on improving infrastructure in remote areas to better monitor disease, deliver professional training, and enhance data collection. For instance, in 2017, SES and the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs announced that they had extended a contract to maintain and support SATMED, an e-health satellite platform, until 2020. Under the contract, SES will continue to develop the SATMED platform and its medical applications, support the platform's data-hosting facility, and provide full user support with a single point of contact. In addition, in Europe, the Piedmont regional government in Italy and its healthcare professionals adopted the European Space Agency's satellite-enabled mobile B-LiFE laboratory to scale COVID-19 screening operations. Further, in India, the government launched a telemedicine initiative called "Sehat" in 2015 in line with its vision of Digital India. The initiative aims to connect healthcare centers and facilities across the nation and provide access to improved care to all the citizens. Additionally, the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare has undertaken initiatives using Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the public healthcare system. The ministry is continuously working on planning and introducing ICT initiatives Connectivity helps fight against COVID-19 outbreak because it is an essential tool to deliver telemedicine services and e-Health applications. Satellite plays an essential role in supporting medical professionals in their daily duties, enabling telehealth via teleconferencing, managing information, and empowering the exchange of patient and clinical data. Therefore, the COVID-19 pandemic is augmenting the adoption of satellite connectivity in healthcare facilities.
