Market Highlights:

Small satellites, also referred to as miniaturized satellites, have low mass, generally weighing less than 1,100 lb, and help space agencies improvethe accessibility of space by reducing the cost of satellite launch. The low development and launch costs, and improved performance, have led to increase in demand for the development of small satellites. Other factors driving the growth of the global small satellite market are surge in commercial applications, growing demand for miniaturization of satellites, and high focus on the reduction of production costs.

The increased use of 3D printing and high data rate communication will enable the manufacturers to offer new growth opportunities for the market players. Numerous new satellites have to be launched to meet the growing demand for commercial applications. However, there are some shortcomings such as lack of dedicated launch vehicles and design related constraints which will restrain the growth of this market. The market for small satellite market is estimated to witness a CAGR of 2.77% during the forecast period.

On the basis of region, the market is segmented into America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and Rest of the World. In the North America region, there is an increased demand for small satellites from NASA, the Department of Defense, and the private sectors. For instance, Boeing has received its first commercial order for the 502 Phoenix small satellite from HySpecIQ of Washington, D.C. These satellites will carry the commercial remote sensing industry’s first high-resolution hyper spectral payload, capable of providing high-fidelity spectral imaging. In the European region, there is high demand for small satellite, due to their use in battlefield missions, earth observation, and scientific exploration activities performed by diverse sectors.
