Carrier Rocket Market Growth Drivers

  • Rising Number of Strategic Initiatives by Market Players: Companies operating in the carrier rocket market are majorly focusing on new product development in alliance with space and rocket research organizations. Growing focus on space observatory initatives and rising development in the space projects are anticpated to drove the growth of carrier rocket market.
  • Growing Initiatives to Launch Space Landers, Spacecraft, and Space Tugs: The global space sector is driven by rising demand from services such as earth observation, satellite communications, and positioning timing and navigation. The space sector is witnessing the growing presence of private players and experiencing heightened demand arising from the need for information related to space. Constellations of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit are a major part of this movement, known as NewSpace. In January 2024, Exotrail announced its plans to launch a new orbital vehicle aimed at small satellites that are required to transit from geostationary transfer orbit to their destination. Thus, the growing number of initiatives toward space landers, spacecraft, and space tugs propels the growth of the carrier rocket market.

Carrier Rocket Market Future Trends

  • Deployment of Satellite Constellations: The substantial upsurge in satellite constellations has propelled the requirement for a competent satellite constellation management plan. To address this emerging need, companies and agencies operating in the space industry are analyzing the potential strategies for constellation launches, set-ups, alternatives for failed satellites, and end-of-life policies. In March 2024, the European Defence Agency brought together two EU Member States, the Netherlands and Austria, to fabricate a satellite demonstrator that can maneuver from Low Earth Orbit to Very Low Earth Orbit. The US$ 10 million project named “LEO2VLEO: Military Crisis-Response Satellite Constellation” is primarily designed, developed, launched, and operated for a constellation of two and four satellites. It targets a space launch in the coming two years. Thus, the growing deployment of satellite constellations is anticipated to provide lucrative opportunities for the carrier rocket market during the forecast period.
  • Commercial Space Exploration: The rising interest in commercial space ventures, including lunar missions and space tourism, offers opportunities for carrier rocket companies to support private enterprises with reliable, cost-effective launches, expanding beyond traditional government contracts.

Carrier Rocket Market Opportunities

  • Rising Number of Satellite Launches: There is a rising number of satellites launched into orbit for applications such as communication, earth observation, and navigation. According to the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), 2,474 satellites were launched in 2022, compared to 1,810 in 2021 across the world. In January 2024, Iran launched three satellites utilizing its carrier rocket fabricated by the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics. In 2023, HyPrSpace, Leonardo, Thales, and CT Engineering received funding for a project worth US$38 million that aims to demonstrate a new kind of rocket engine to be launched into space. Thus, the growing investments in the satellite and space industry leading to the upsurging number of satellites launches boost the growth of the global carrier rocket market
  • Reusable Rocket Technology: The development of reusable carrier rockets, pioneered by companies like SpaceX, is revolutionizing the market by drastically reducing launch costs and improving frequency. This trend is making space access more affordable and sustainable, attracting both commercial and government customers.
