The satellite launch vehicle market size is projected to grow from USD 15.7 billion in 2022 to USD 29.1 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 13.1% during the forecast period. The market for satellite launch vehicle is driven by various factors, such as increasing demand for more effective, cost efficient launch services . However, Reliability and safety of launch vehicles, increasing Carbon footprint due to space launches are limiting the overall growth of the market.

” Three Stage: The largest share of the satellite launch vehicle market by stage in 2022.”
The three stage segment has the largest segment of the satellite launch vehicle market by stage in 2022. The increasing demand for heavy lift satellite launch vehicle to transport heavy payload cargo quickly with less carbon emissions is driving the growth of this segment in the satellite launch vehicle market.

” 500 – 2,500 Kg: The second largest segment of the satellite launch vehicle market by payload in 2022“
Satellite payloads that weigh less than 500 kg are generally classified as medium satellites. Medium satellites have a wet mass (including fuel) between 500 kg and 2,500 kg. The operational and manufacturing costs of medium satellites are higher than those of small satellites. These satellites are used for applications, such as climate & environment monitoring, Earth observation & meteorology, scientific research & exploration, and surveillance & security. The increased use of medium satellites in these applications is expected to drive the satellite launch vehicle market.
