Electric Propulsion Satellite Market Size, Share, Growth and Global Industry Analysis By Type & Application, Regional Insights and Forecast to 2024-2032
Growth Factors of Electric Propulsion Satellite Market
The electric propulsion satellite market size was valued at USD 13.59 billion in 2022, and the market is now projected to grow from USD 14.72 billion in 2023 to USD 24.59 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.61% during the forecast period of 2023-2030.
OECD states that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the electric propulsion satellite market growth, delayed satellite contracts, and especially affected SMEs. This resulted in market concentration thereby eradicating various new cross-breeding innovative, and economically essential small firms and start-ups.
The growing demand for satellites in defense and commercial sectors, including ISR, command & control, and government operations, is driving the electric propulsion satellite market share. Electric propulsion satellites are favoured for their efficiency and performance, leading to increased deployment across various industries. Affordable and available on the commercial level, these all-electric small satellites are applied in banking, aviation, retail chains, the energy sector, the telecommunication industry, and so on, increasing the market scale continuously.
Small satellite constellations have become increasingly important for defense and business applications because of threats posed by cyber-vandalism, as well as anti-sat apparatuses. For instance, there is a record of over 1,700 small satellites that were launched from 2012 to 2022 and a projection to an additional 1000 by 2022 from 2020. Current estimates indicate that within the next ten years 2025, about one thousand small satellites are set to be launched.
