Market Trends of satellite parts and components Industry
The increased importance of satellite miniaturization is expected to affect the satellite mass
- Satellites are getting smaller nowadays, and a small satellite can do almost everything that a conventional satellite can at a fraction of the cost of the conventional satellite, which has made the building, launching, and operation of small satellite constellations increasingly viable. Correspondingly, reliance on them has been growing exponentially. Small satellites typically have shorter development cycles, smaller development teams, and cost much less for launch.
- The major classification types according to mass are large satellites that are more than 1,000 kg. During 2017-2022, around 44 large satellites launched were owned by North American organizations. A medium-sized satellite has a mass between 500 and 1000 kg. Globally, organizations operated more than 320 satellites launched. Satellites are classified according to mass. Satellites with a mass of less than 500 kg are considered small satellites, and around 3800+ small satellites were launched globally.
- There is a growing trend toward small satellites in the region because of their shorter development time, which can reduce overall mission costs. They have made it possible to significantly reduce the time required to obtain scientific and technological results. Small spacecraft missions tend to be flexible and can, therefore, be more responsive to new technological opportunities or needs. The small satellite industry in the United States is supported by a robust framework for designing and manufacturing small satellites tailored to serve specific application profiles. The demand for satellite parts and components in the North American region is expected to surge during 2023-2029 due to increasing demand in the commercial and military space sector.

The increasing expenditures of different space agencies is expected to positively impact the satellite industry
- The increasing use of satellite technology in various applications, including communication, navigation, and earth observation, has created a need for new and innovative satellite components. Companies are investing in R&D to develop components that meet the specific requirements of these applications. Technological advancements, such as the use of AI and machine learning, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials, are driving the need for R&D investment in the satellite parts and components industry. These advancements are creating new opportunities for the development of innovative components.
- In November 2022, ESA announced that it proposed a 25% boost in space funding over the next three years designed to maintain Europe's lead in Earth observation, expand navigation services, and remain a partner in exploration with the United States. The European Space Agency (ESA) is asking its 22 nations to back a budget of some EUR 18.5 billion for 2023-2025. Likewise, in September 2022, France announced that it is expecting to increase spending on national and European space programs.
- In North America, global government expenditure for space programs hit a record of approximately 103 billion in 2021. The region is the epicenter of space innovation and research, with the presence of NASA, the world's biggest space agency. In 2022, the US government spent nearly USD 62 billion on its space programs, making it the highest spender on space in the world. In the United States, federal agencies receive aid from the government every year, known as funding, USD 32.33 billion for its subsidiaries. The spending on space and research grants is expected to surge in the region, growing the sector's importance in every domain of the global economy.
