Research Report on the Global Satellite Launch Vehicle Market.
Overview
Satellite Launch Vehicle Market Size is USD 40.766 billion by 2030, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.12% during the forecast period (2023 - 2030).
A satellite launch vehicle is a medium of transport to deploy satellites in the space for research and development, navigation, communication, scientific, meteorology, earth observation, and remote-sensing applications. Satellites are deployed across different orbits, including sun-synchronous orbit (SSO), medium earth orbit (MEO), low earth orbit (LEO), and geosynchronous orbit (GEO). The satellite launch vehicles can carry up to 10 payloads. Satellite launch vehicles are used for commercial and non-commercial activities.
Segmental Analysis
The Global Satellite Launch Vehicle Market has been segmented by orbit, number of payloads, launch activity, and application.
By orbit, the global satellite launch vehicle market has been segmented into Sun-Synchronous Orbit (SSO), Medium Earth Orbit (MEO), Low Earth Orbit (LEO), and Geosynchronous Orbit (GEO). The GEO segment is projected to dominate the market during the forecast period. The segment was valued at USD 1,292.7 million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 1,493.1 million by 2025. However, the LEO segment is anticipated to record the highest CAGR. The segment is expected to reach USD 470.1 million by 2025, exhibiting the highest CAGR of 4.46% during the forecast period. A low earth orbit is an Earth-centered orbit with an altitude of 2,000 kilometers. Low Earth orbit satellites require the lowest amount of energy for launching. It also provides high bandwidth and low communication latency. The SSO segment is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.31% during the forecast period.
Based on number of payloads, the global satellite launch vehicle market has been divided into primary only, 2 to 5, and 6 to 10. The primary only segment led the market with a value of USD 1,315.1 million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 1,557.0 million by 2025. The satellite launch vehicles that are used for specific space exploration missions or to carry satellites in the medium earth orbit (up to 20,000 km) are considered in this segment. The 2 to 5 segment is expected to register a 3.58% CAGR during the forecast period.
On the basis of launch activity, the global satellite launch vehicle market has been classified into non-commercial and commercial. The non-commercial segment accounted for the larger market share in 2018. However, the commercial segment is expected to register
a higher CAGR of 3.50% during the forecast period. There has been a significant rise in the deployment of satellites for commercial applications globally. This is expected to boost the demand for satellite launch vehicles for commercial applications.
In terms of application, the global satellite launch vehicle market has been categorized into research & development, navigation, communication, scientific, meteorology, earth observation, and remote sensing. The communication segment dominated the market. The segment was valued at USD 912.2 million in 2018. However, the earth observation segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The segment is projected to register a CAGR of 3.91% during the forecast period. Earth observation is one of the major applications of satellites. They are used to survey national borders, conduct transportation checks, and carry out anti-smuggling operations. Satellites can survey a wide area and take quick and excellent images.
