Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Rocket Fuel Efficiency Systems Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global rocket fuel efficiency systems market is experiencing robust growth, expanding from $9.28 billion in 2025 to $9.93 billion in 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. This growth is mainly driven by advancements in propulsion components, fuel injection systems, and integration of pump-fed systems to optimize propellant management and delivery. The adoption of lightweight cryogenic fuel tanks and enhancements in propellant management devices is further supporting the market's upward trajectory.
Looking forward, the market is anticipated to continue its expansion, reaching $12.88 billion by 2030, and maintaining a CAGR of 6.7%. Key drivers include the surge in commercial launch operations necessitating cost-effective fuel technologies, innovations in thrust vector control, and real-time fuel flow monitoring. The rise of reusable rockets and investments in high-energy missions are notable contributors to market advancements, promoting the need for efficient fuel systems.
The increasing number of space missions is a significant factor propelling market demand. With growing satellite connectivity needs, launches are becoming more frequent to enhance global communication and internet services. As evidenced by the Global Change Data Lab's records, orbital launches rose from 2,477 in 2022 to 2,895 in 2023, underscoring the heightened demand for fuel-efficient systems to support these missions.
Market leaders such as The Boeing Company, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Airbus Defence and Space GmbH are making significant strides in electric propulsion systems, which minimize propellant use and extend satellite mission lifespans. A notable achievement in this field was the Indian Space Research Organisation's successful 1,000-hour life test of its Stationary Plasma Thruster in March 2025, showcasing advancements in electric propulsion technology.
The market also saw a strategic acquisition when Anduril Industries purchased Adranos in June 2023. This acquisition enhances Anduril's position in supplying solid rocket motors, integral to providing propulsion systems for critical defense programs, further revolutionizing the rocket fuel efficiency systems sector.
North America was the largest market region in 2025, with the report also covering Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, South America, and others. Ongoing trade tensions and tariffs present challenges, particularly in North America and Europe, leading to increased production costs and supply chain disruptions. However, they also incite domestic manufacturing and innovation in cost-efficient technologies.
