On-Orbit Satellite Servicing Market to Reach $9.0 Billion by 2032
Current Market Segment Leaders Expected to Maintain Their Positions: Report
The "On-Orbit Satellite Servicing Market" was valued at $3.4 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $9.0 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 10.59% from 2023 to 2032, according to a new report from Allied Market Research.
The market is driven by factors such as proliferation of aging satellite population, which fuels the demand for on-orbit satellite servicing. However, complications in technology are projected to hinder market growth. On the contrary, the rise in deployment of small satellites creates lucrative growth opportunities.
Based on service, the robot servicing segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for nearly half of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period.
The robot servicing segment's share will be boosted by the rise in deployment of small satellites. The rise in efforts to develop indigenous robot servicing by developing nations in the Asia-Pacific region to support the segment demand.
Based on orbit type, the LEO segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than two-fifths of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. However, the same segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 11.27% from 2023 to 2032. The several number of space exploration missions increased as launch costs reduced, technologies advanced, and public interest in space exploration increased which is contributing to the market growth.
The commercial segment held the highest market share in 2022, accounting for more than three-fifths of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. However, the same segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 11.12% from 2023 to 2032. The market for commercial on-orbit satellite servicing is rapidly evolving, providing a range of valuable capabilities to commercial satellite operators. These services include in-orbit refueling, repairs, upgrades, and maintenance for satellites which is contributing to the market growth.
North America held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2022, accounting for more than one-third of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market revenue and is likely to dominate the market during the forecast period. The booming defense industries in the Asia-Pacific region have fuelled the demand for defense electronics. Asia-Pacific is expected to witness highest growth in forecast period owing to the on-orbit satellite servicing market in North America which is a vibrant and rapidly expanding sector that encompasses a diverse range of activities focused on servicing and maintaining satellites in orbit. However, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to witness the fastest CAGR of 11.92% from 2023 to 2032.
