5 Mar, 2025

What Has Been the Progress and Growth of the Space Electronics Market in Recent Years?

The space electronics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, there has been notable growth in the size of the space electronics market. This market will witness an advancement from $2.63 billion in 2024 to $2.81 billion in 2025, manifesting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. Factors contributing to the growth during the historical period include initiatives towards space exploration, substantial investments in satellite production, an escalating demand for space electronics goods, an increased frequency of space operations, as well as a rise in satellite launch and deep space explorations.

What Can Be Expected from the Space Electronics Market?

The Space Electronics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In upcoming years, a robust growth is projected for the space electronics market. It is anticipated that the market will expand to $3.62 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%.
Factors contributing to the growth in the predicted period include the expansion of the radiation-hardened space electronics market, an increase in launch operations, improved miniaturization and efficiency, a swift rise in investments in space ventures, and the usage of novel materials to enhance the manufacturing of space electronics. Key trends during the forecasted period are expected to be improvements in radiation-tolerant semiconductor technologies, digitalization and software-defined systems, intensive computing for space missions, photonics and optoelectronics in space communication, attention to cybersecurity in space systems, and sustainable electronics for space.

What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling The Space Electronics Market's Growth?

The growth of the space electronics market is anticipated to be fuelled by the increasing number of satellites. Any object that orbits around a planet, star, or moon is referred to as a satellite. The escalation in satellite numbers is linked to the rising need for worldwide communication and connectivity. Satellites, susceptible to charging and discharging, necessitate space components like space electronics that are devoid of floating metal. For example, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported in 2023 that the count of operational satellites in orbit surged from previous years to exceed 6,700 by 2022. Thus, the upsurge in the number of satellites is propelling the expansion of the space electronics market.
