[185 Pages Report] The Small Satellite Market size was estimated at USD 4.38 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 5.12 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 17.00% to reach USD 13.17 billion by 2030.
Small or miniature satellites are small-size satellites with mass under 500 kg (1100 lb), utilized in several applications such as navigation, communication, and surveillance for defense purposes. Small satellites are low-cost alternatives that have allowed commercial enterprises and educational institutions to conduct missions in low-Earth orbit. Small satellites offer cost-effective complementary capabilities to ground-based astronomy and larger space missions. Small satellites ensure that several countries no longer monopolize space technology with well-funded programs that build large and expensive satellites convenient to smaller and newer entities. However, programmatic and scientific risks involved in producing small satellites and stringent regulations impede the adoption of small satellites. In addition, recent advances and development trends in small satellites focus on telecommunication aspects such as using higher-frequency bands and optical communications, protocols, and architectures. Small satellites with modern designs enable new services such as global tracking, the Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing, and non-terrestrial networks (NTN) that facilitate further communication and data link technologies.
Regional Insights
The small satellite is increasingly being used to expedite the deployment of telecommunication services in major North American economies. NASA’s increasing its research and development activities and the growing military spending for surveillance missions drive the market across the region. South American countries such as Argentina, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Uruguay, and Bolivia have national space agencies, and Argentina and Brazil have even built space launch sites. In Asia-Pacific, the growing landscape for small satellites, with increasing space investments being routed for augmenting the region’s space-based capabilities by countries such as China, India, Australia, and Japan, propelled small satellites’ development in the region. According to the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the region intends to launch about 100 satellites by 2025. In Europe, the rising budgets for the research and development (R&D) of innovative satellite-based products and services are expanding the growth of small satellites. The Middle East and Africa regions are introducing small satellites for various commercial purposes such as data management and expansions with connectivity.
