Global CubeSat Market Research Report Information By Size (0.25U to 1U, 1 to 3U, 3U to 6U, 6U to 12U, and 12U & above) Application (earth observation & traffic monitoring, science technology and education, space observation, communication and others), Subsystem (payloads, structures, electrical power systems, command and data handling, propulsion systems, attitude determination and control systems others), End-user (government and military, commercial and non-profit organizations), and By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East & Africa) Industry Forecast to 2030
In 2023, the CubeSat market was estimated at USD 272.9 million. The CubeSat industry is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.09% over the forecast period. CubeSats have made space launches easier for almost a decade and are still being deployed. They are inexpensive solutions that have made it easier for commercial companies, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions to launch missions into low-Earth orbit. These little satellites make it possible to undertake countless scientific studies and technological demonstrations in space at a low cost, on schedule, and with minimal effort.
Modern satellites are being constructed for new applications such as space mining and rubbish collection, while CubeSat capabilities and usefulness are expanding due to advances in electronics and communication technology. Several private firms have already begun operations to gather minerals, energy sources, and water found in space. The most advanced CubeSats are designed to dissolve as soon as they complete their mission and enter the Earth's atmosphere, keeping them from contributing to the accumulation of space debris. Space trash is one of the most significant difficulties to launching satellites and spacecraft.
Small satellites are working on ongoing projects to improve their debris-removal capabilities in response to the major companies' expanding initiatives. For example, the RemoveDebris project aims to conduct critical active debris removal (ADR) technology testing in order to determine the most effective strategies for cleaning space debris. During the forecast period, the utilization of CubeSats in delivering new solutions is expected to drive the CubeSat Markets market.
