SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service has surpassed 9 million customers by late December 2025, growing from 8 million just one month prior, with an average of over 21,000 new users per day. The rapid expansion, driven by improved network performance, broader global coverage, and demand in remote and underserved areas, reflects a 49.3% increase in growth rate compared to earlier in the year. Starlink continues to gain traction across rural, maritime, aviation, and enterprise sectors, supported by frequent satellite launches and infrastructure investment. Despite rising competition, its first-mover advantage and vertical integration maintain its market leadership, with analysts expecting continued growth and potential future public listing.
