The maritime connectivity market is a complex and intricate system of service providers, satellite operators, and hardware vendors; each of which plays a pivotal role in providing connectivity to an array of different users all with their own requirements. There is no one size fits all model. The requirements of a merchant ship differ considerably from those of cruise ships, and in turn, the requirements of cruise ships can differ significantly from a fishing vessel. As a result, the market is segmented in such a way that it can provide tailored solutions to the plethora of users and use cases.

2019 has already seen substantial developments in the market. Service providers have created new holistic platforms to simplify connectivity for users, satellite operators continue to push forwards in offering increased coverage and capacity across the globe, and hardware vendors have released state-of-the-art new technology to the market. All these developments will be covered in Valour Consultancy’s report on “The Future of Maritime Connectivity - 2019”.

The report will provide a complete overview of the maritime connectivity market with no stone left unturned. It will build on the previous edition, “The Future of Maritime Connectivity - 2018”, which was well received by leading industry experts; as well as the firm’s acclaimed research into the closely related market for in-flight connectivity. The report will include quantitative analysis of the crucial variables such as the number of connected vessels, associated revenue and average revenue per unit (ARPU). The variables will then be modelled across key market segments including geographical region, frequency band, and type of vessel/industry. The report will also provide market shares of service providers, satellite operators, and hardware vendors. Furthermore, the report will contain an in-depth discussion of key drivers of growth, potential market inhibitors, technological developments, and the competitive environment.

Valour Consultancy invites you to participate in this research, influence the scope and receive a substantial discount on the price of the final report. Further information on this participant programme can be found on page 5, while pages 2-4 explain the scope of this research in more detail.
