Staying ahead in the fast-evolving satellite broadband market with monthly data on Starlink's global expansion

Starlink, the pioneering satellite broadband provider under SpaceX, continues to redefine global internet connectivity with its aggressive expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. As outlined in the latest reports from Idem Est Research, the satellite internet landscape is rapidly evolving, with Starlink at the forefront of bridging digital divides and bringing high-speed, low-latency connectivity to remote and underserved areas.
1. Unmatched Growth in Satellite Internet Deployment
According to the Starlink Company Profile 2025 report, the company has launched over 8,000 satellites into low Earth orbit (LEO) as of early 2025, with a steady cadence of more than 170 satellites per month. This aggressive expansion is part of its strategy to maintain its position as the leading global satellite broadband provider, outpacing competitors like OneWeb, Amazon's Project Kuiper, and regional initiatives from China and India.
The Asia-Pacific Satellite Internet Market Report 2025-2032 highlights that Starlink has rapidly gained a dominant foothold in the region, with a significant share of the estimated 1m satellite broadband subscribers. Australia, India, Indonesia, and the Philippines are among the key markets where satellite connectivity is vital due to geographical challenges that hinder traditional broadband infrastructure. "India is expected to reach over 700,000 subscribers by the end of 2025, becoming the largest satellite Internet market in the region in just 12 months", says Landry Fevre, Director of Idem Est Research & Advisory.
2. Bridging the Digital Divide in Asia-Pacific
The demand for reliable internet in the Asia-Pacific region is surging, fuelled by increasing digital transformation, e-governance initiatives, and the need for resilient communication networks in disaster-prone areas. Starlink's satellite technology provides a critical solution, offering low-latency, high-speed broadband to remote regions that have been historically underserved.
The reports indicate that Starlink's Direct-to-Cell (DTC) technology, expected to roll out in 2025, will further enhance connectivity in Asia-Pacific. This service will enable standard mobile devices to connect directly to Starlink satellites, reducing reliance on traditional telecom infrastructure and improving emergency communication capabilities.
3. Strategic Partnerships and Regional Influence
Starlink is securing its expansion through strategic partnerships with telecom operators, governments, and industrial leaders. The company has entered agreements with ONE NZ (New Zealand) Telstra & Optus (Australia), Bharti & Jio (India), and KDDI (Japan) for Direct-to-Cell services. Moreover, it has formed regional partnerships in Malaysia, the Philippines, and India to facilitate market entry while navigating regulatory landscapes. "Idem Est Research expects 2.5m satellite Internet subscribers by the end of 2025 in the Asia-Pacific region alone with Indonesia and India as the largest markets", added Landry Fevre
The Starlink Company Profile 2025 report underscores the geopolitical implications of its satellite network. As nations increasingly prioritise digital sovereignty, Starlink's presence in Asia-Pacific is viewed as both an enabler of connectivity and a subject of regulatory scrutiny. While many countries welcome the service for its ability to improve rural connectivity, others remain cautious about its influence on national telecom policies and cybersecurity frameworks.
4. Future Prospects: Towards a More Connected World
Looking ahead, Starlink aims to scale up its Gen-2 satellite constellation, which will deliver enhanced bandwidth and reduced latency. With ambitions to increase its global satellite network to over 40,000 satellites, the company is positioning itself as a key player in the future of 5G non-terrestrial networks (5G NTN) and Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity.
As outlined in the Asia-Pacific Satellite Internet Market Report, satellite broadband will play a critical role in the region's economic growth, particularly in enabling remote work, telemedicine, e-learning, and disaster response solutions. Starlink's expansion is set to be a game-changer, offering millions of users an alternative to traditional broadband and ensuring seamless connectivity where it's needed most.
