Introduction
The global satellite manufacturing and launch market is seeing robust expansion. Stratview Research estimates the satellite manufacturing and launch market was valued at US$ 177.8 billion in 2023, and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 11%, reaching approximately US$ 369.1 billion by 2030. Falling launch costs and rising satellite demand are key catalysts.
Key Features
The market comprises two major types: satellite manufacturing and satellite launch systems. Within this, the launch-systems sub-segment is identified as set to grow at the fastest pace, driven by reusable rockets and cost efficiencies. On the application side, segments include communications, navigation, earth-observation, military surveillance and others. Communications satellites remain dominant by size and demand both in commercial and government arenas.
Applications
Major applications for this market include:
- Communication satellites: broadcasting, broadband internet, remote connectivity especially in underserved regions.
- Navigation satellites: global navigation systems (GNSS) for civilian, commercial and defense uses.
- Earth observation and surveillance satellites: remote sensing, environmental monitoring, strategic intelligence.
- Military and scientific satellites: growing demand for surveillance and research platforms.
Trends
Significant trends shaping the market include:
- Miniaturization and mass production of small-satellite platforms reducing cost per satellite.
- Reusable launch technologies that reduce cost and turnaround time for sending payloads to orbit.
- Fragmented competitive landscape with many new entrants alongside incumbents, driving innovation.
Opportunities
Key growth opportunities emerge from:
- Large LEO constellations for broadband connectivity, which open manufacturing & launch demand.
- Emerging regional space-programs, particularly in Asia-Pacific and other developing regions, increasing local production and launches.
- Advanced satellite services, like high-resolution earth observation, in-orbit servicing, and niche payloads, creating demand for new manufacturing and launch business models.
