Emphasis on Propulsion Type ((Chemical Propulsion, Solar Propulsion, Plasma Propulsion, Thermal Fission Propulsion, Others (Ion Drive, Continuous Fusion, Others)), System (Thruster, Propellant Feed System, Rocket Motors, Nozzles, Propulsion Thermal Control, and Power processing units), Platform (Satellite, Launch Vehicles, Rovers/Landers, Capsules/Cargo, Interplanetary Spacecraft and Probes), End User (Commercial, and Government & Defense); and Region/Country
The Space Propulsion System Market was valued at USD 7,800 million in 2021 & is expected to grow at a CAGR of 22.0% from 2022-2030. Due to the growing demand for LEO-based services. LEO satellites refer to low-earth orbit satellites that are relatively close to the Earth’s surface. LEO satellites are usually placed at an altitude of less than 1000 km but could be as low as 160 km above Earth – which is low compared to other orbits. The LEO satellites are primarily used in various sectors such as telecommunications, agriculture, and defense for imaging, as being near the surface allows them to take images of higher resolution. Moreover, these satellites are primarily used for the International Space Station (ISS), as it is easier for astronauts to travel to and from it at a shorter distance. Additionally, the LEO satellites have a major role in the telecommunication sector as more countries are adopting 5G technology for better internet and voice connectivity purpose, and LEO satellites are fueling the demand for it. For instance, in March 2023, the Bharti Group, an Indian-based conglomerate dealing in the telecommunication sector named Airtel India, launched another batch of 36 satellites from ISRO’s space center in Sriharikota. The company takes OneWeb’s low-earth orbit (LEO), satellite count, to 618, positioning it to start global satellite broadband services by end-2023.
Therefore, the growing demand for LEO-based services drives the space propulsion system market.
Some of the major players operating in the market include Safran; Aerojet Rocketdyne Holdings, Inc.; Space Exploration Technologies Corporation; Northrop Grumman Corporation; IHI Corporation; Blue Origin LLC; Moong Inc.; Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd.; Thales Group. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.
Insights Presented in the Report
“Amongst propulsion types, the electric propulsion segment held the fastest growing in 2021”
Based on propulsion type, the market is segmented into chemical propulsion, solar propulsion, plasma propulsion, electric propulsion, thermal fission propulsion, and others. The electric propulsion segment is the fastest growing segment in 2021 and is expected to grow at the fastest rate during the forecast period owing to the soaring demand for a cost-effective launch as they require much less propellant to produce the same overall effect, i.e. a particular increase in spacecraft velocity. The propellant is ejected up to twenty times quicker than from classical thrusters and consequently, the same propelling force is obtained with twenty times much less propellant. Electric thrusters offer precise control over the amount of force applied to the spacecraft, allowing for accurate regulation of its position and orientation within its orbit, making the electric propulsion system the fastest-growing segment.
“Amongst system, the thruster held the majority share of the market in 2021”
Based on the system, the market is segmented into thrusters, propellant feed systems, rocket motors, nozzles, propulsion thermal control, and power processing units. The thruster segment is expected to have the highest market share in 2021 as well as the forecast period owing to providing low-thrust acceleration orbit control of satellites. The thruster is primarily used for maneuvering spacecraft in the area as they help to adjust the plane’s trajectory, maintain its orientation, and trade its velocity. There is always a fear of collision with debris in space, thruster helps in avoiding collision with debris or other objects in space.
“North America dominated the space propulsion system market in 2021”
The North America region has dominated the market in 2021 and is projected to be the dominating in the forecast period as the region has the highest number of space agencies, a high space budget, and the development of cutting-edge technology. For instance, in March 2023, according to the article published by NASA from President 2024 Fiscal Budget stated that it will allow NASA to continue to expand by supporting USD 1.39 billion for research and development of new technologies that will advance the space exploration capabilities and create job opportunities through the growth of commercial space companies.
