Satellite Launch Vehicle Market worth over $8bn by 2027

  • Published Date: January 3, 2022

Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) Market Size is set to surpass USD 8 billion by 2027, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights Inc.
 

Satellite launch vehicles are witnessing significant demand owing to increasing spending among space companies on space exploration and interplanetary missions across the globe. Market players are remarkably investing in R&Ds for new satellite launch vehicle innovation.
 

Governments are adopting various business strategies to encourage space companies to innovate technologies for the space sector, which will fuel the satellite launch vehicle sales. Countries including South Africa, Australia, and Germany are investing significantly to boost their space sector, which will improve the market growth.
 

The growing favorable environment for satellite launch vehicles is encouraging market leaders to innovate new SLVs to enhance their position in the market. Industry participants are enriching their corporate liaison with government space companies to gain high-valued contracts.
 

Key market factors challenging the sales of satellite launch vehicles are high maintenance and repair costs. The low availability of skilled labor and engineers is also affecting the industry growth. Additionally, several failures in launch test missions are adversely impacting their adoptions across the globe. To bring payloads or rockets back to the Earth safely, complex hardware structures and more fuel propellants are required.
 

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the global market. The majority of countries imposed strict lockdowns, which resulted in global supply chain disruptions and suspension of manufacturing facilities. Market demand for carrier rockets declined in 2020 due to the rescheduling of various space programs, thereby affecting the net revenue of OEMs. However, satellite dispatch vehicles are expected to showcase an upward industry trend post-pandemic owing to governments’ focus on investing in the space sector to strengthen the satellite network for digital infrastructure development.
 

Satellite launch vehicle manufacturers’ significant focus on gaining high-valued government contracts will stimulate the market expansion
