Commercial segment is expected to account for the largest share in 2023.
By End-use, the small satellite market is segmented into commercial, government & defense and dual use. The Commercial segment is expected to account for the largest share the small satellite market by the end-user. One of the main factors boosting the market for small satellites is the reduced in launch costs. The cost of launching a satellite into orbit used to be extremely high, sometimes costing over $100 million. The new launch firms like SpaceX and Rocket Lab have significantly reduced the cost of placing small satellites into orbit. Small satellite constellation development has developed as a result of the decrease in cost for enterprises to launch small satellites. The growth of the satellite operators/owners segment is due to rising investments from the private sector in space research and satellite communication services.
Earth Observation segment is expected to account for the largest share in 2023.
By Application, the small satellite market is segmented into Communication, Earth Observation, Education, Technology, Others. The small satellite market's Earth observation segment is witnessing strong growth because it provides cost-efficient, frequent data collection for diverse industries.
