The Europe medium-sized commercial satellite launch service market valuation will cross USD 1 billion by 2026, growing at more than 7% CAGR. Various research centers backed up by government funding are forming a consortium to increase their pace of development. For instance, in 2020, fourteen European companies and institutes formed a consortium, the European Union (EU) Horizon 2020. The consortium will focus on the design of low-cost launchers capable of carrying a payload up to 50kgs.
 

Increasing efforts to establish global reconnaissance satellite will influence the market growth

The reconnaissance satellite segment size was over USD 2 billion in 2019 and is predicted to register gains at more than 9% through 2026. Increasing efforts of regional governments to strengthen their information sources through space surveillance will fuel the market growth. Various organizations are organizing multiple satellite launch services where satellites of more than one nation are launched in space from a single vehicle.
 

These collaborations significantly improve the operational efficiency of an aircraft, reducing the overall cost of a launch. For instance, in December 2019, India launched RISAT 2BR1, an all-weather reconnaissance satellite along with nine other customer satellites across 567-kilometer orbit.
 

Increasing indigenous manufacturing capabilities in Asia Pacific

The Asia Pacific commercial satellite launch service market will account for over 30% revenue share by 2026 due to increasing efforts of Asia Pacific countries to gain indigenous manufacturing capabilities. A range of startups is acquiring investments to accelerate their R&D and manufacturing capabilities. For instance, in April 2018, Beijing LandSpace Technology Corporation Limited secured an investment of around USD 35 million in a funding round to support its technological advancements and improve satellite launch services, propelling the industry growth.
 

Integration of enhanced communication systems through cross-border collaboration, to support market statistics

Major players in the market are Ariane Group, GK Launch Services, Lockheed Martin, United Launch Alliance, Commercial Space Technologies Ltd., ISRO, NASA, Antrix Corporation Limited, COSMOS International, Sea Launch, Boeing, Orbital Sciences Corporation, SpaceX, Eurockot Launch Services, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Launch Services.
 

Patent registration and generation of property offerings are among the primary strategic initiatives practiced by prominent companies operating in the market. For instance, in September 2018, Vector, a microsatellite launch player received a U.S. patent for liquid oxygen propylene rocket engine that will significantly improve the engine performance over traditional fueled engines.
