The Global Space Tourism market was valued at USD 795.50 million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 40.92% during the forecast period (2024-2032). One of the key factors that have supported the market growth of space tourism is the high inclination of High-net-worth individuals striving to opt for recreational space travel. The cost of space tourism has been on the higher side due to most companies opting for new-generation space propulsion systems, including reusable space shuttles, as well as looking for different space-based propulsions such as electric or ion thrusters. With the further integration of these technologies reducing the cost of travel in space, the prices are anticipated to go down, and this would support its demand in the long run.
Additionally, in recent years, many companies have started offering space tourism services, which has fostered its growth among individuals. For instance, in 2022, Axiom Space launched its first commercial space flight to send its four astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) with a spacecraft named SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft.
In another instance, in 2021, SpaceX launched its Insporation4 mission spacecraft with four crew members. The mission lasted for three days, orbiting the Earth in space.
Additionally, the rise in the number of players operating in the space tourism market would support the rise with a greater number of options to travel with as well as induce the competition to further improve the technology as well as reduce the prices of space travel in the coming years.
This section discusses the key market trends that are influencing the various segments of the Global Space Tourism Market as identified by our team of research experts.
Rising Demand for Sub-Orbital Flight Demand
Sub-orbital space flight has been one of the key areas of growth for global space tourism. A large number of companies are offering services under the category of sub-orbit starting after 100 km of height, after which passengers feel weightlessness or zero gravity. Additionally, this type of flight is usually less expensive than other orbital and inter-planetary travel, so space tourism providers are incessantly focusing on this. Considering the growing number of HNIs focusing on sub-orbital flights for recreational activities, the demand for the segment will further thrive in the coming years.
Considering the increasing number of space tourism providers across the globe the demand for Space Tourism activities would surge in the forthcoming years i.e., 2024-2032.
North America is Expected to Hold Major Market Share During Forecast Period
The North American space tourism market has held a major market share across the globe. One of the factors attributing to the growth is the presence of a high number of space tourism-providing companies in the region. These companies include Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, SpaceX, etc. As many of the respective companies have already exhibited their space launch and retrieving capability, the region is leading the race to space. Additionally, the countries in the region, such as Canada and the US, have space tourism policies present for regulatory measures, due to which the industry has experienced massive support from the government’s end.
Additionally, government aerospace companies, such as NASA, have collaborated with regional commercial players to opt for astronaut-sending services. These collaborations involve providing space shuttles for sending humans on suborbital and orbital space missions.
In line with the developments, it is anticipated that the North American region will continue to dominate the Global Space tourism market in the coming years, i.e., 2024-2032.
The Global Space Tourism market is competitive and fragmented, with the presence of several global and international market players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions. Some of the major players operating in the market are Blue Origin, Axiom Space, Boeing, Airbus, Rocke Lab USA, Space Adventure, SpaceX, Space Perspective, Virgin Galactic, and Zero Gravity Corporation.
For instance, in 2024, Chinese state-backed company, Chinese commercial space company, CAS Space announced the launch of its first space tourism vehicle to be launched by 2027. According to the company, it will include a tourist cabin with four panoramic windows that can carry seven passengers.
In another instance, in 2024, Blue Origin resumed its space tourism after the midflight issue emerged in the year 2022. The spacecraft contains 6 passengers for sub-orbital space travel.
