The 2011 State of the Satellite Industry Report, released on [June 20], shows continued but slower growth in global industry revenues for 2010:

Satellite Services revenue expanded by 9 percent, surpassing the $100 billion mark for the first time, at $101.3 billion;
Satellite Manufacturing revenues declined by 20 percent to $10.8 billion, from the $13.5 billion reported in 2009, bringing the overall Global Satellite Manufacturing revenue growth to 38 percent over a 5-year span. U.S revenues followed the trend with a 27 percent decline at $5.6 billion, compared to 2009 at $7.7 billion;
Satellite Launch Industry revenues decreased by 4 percent to $4.3 billion from 2009, with United States launch revenues also decreasing to $1.2 billion in 2010 compared to $1.9 billion in 2009; and
Satellite Ground Equipment continued to grow by 3 percent, to $51.6 billion, reaching more than twice the total of only five years ago. Ground equipment continues its growth trend from the previous years, largely due to consumer-oriented products including satellite TV, broadband, mobile satellites, and GPS devices.
U.S. Satellite industry employment in 2010 posted an increase in ground equipment segment jobs, but losses in the three other sectors. The overall sector decrease at year-end 2010 was 2.9 percent, or a total of 7,302 jobs, from the end-of-year 2009 employment numbers.
