The global satellite manufacturing market size is anticipated to reach USD 52.66 billion by 2030 and is projected to grow at the CAGR of 15.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is undergoing substantial growth primarily owing to increasing demand for satellites for research & development activities and various applications across industries. Several industries, including mining, construction, oil & gas, energy & utilities, agriculture, transportation, etc., are adopting satellite communication solutions to monitor on-site operations and conduct research activities remotely. For instance, geostationary satellites are extremely useful in weather monitoring as they provide a constant view of the same surface area of the earth. Such important applications are substantiating the market growth.
The considerable rise in the number of space exploration activities leading to increased demand for efficient infrastructure for manufacturing satellites and other equipment is creating lucrative growth opportunities for the global market. Several leading manufacturers are taking profound steps to strengthen their infrastructure and production capabilities to cater to the rising demand. For instance, in November 2023, Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales and Leonardo, launched its project to construct the Space Smart Factory in Europe. This facility is one of the biggest reconfigurable and digital facilities in the region and will join the interconnected space factories in Italy, leveraging advanced technologies to develop satellites for applications.
The expansion of the market is being further expedited by supportive government initiatives to collaborate with private players operating in space technology. For instance, in January 2024, Maxar Technologies received a contract to deliver a Precision3DTM Data Suite bundle to the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency covering 160,000 square kilometers within the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility. Such initiatives are expected to transform the market outlook over the upcoming years.
