Report Description


Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market Outlook 2031

The global nanosatellite and microsatellite market size was valued at USD 2.80 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 13.71 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 19.3% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing demand for miniaturized satellites for various scientific research and defense applications.

Nanosatellite and microsatellite are artificial satellites that primarily have less mass and small surface areas. According to NASA’s definition, these satellite are normally weighted between one and 10 kg.The satellites are used for various applications including earth observation and remote sensing, biological experiment, communication, scientific research, academic training. 

Nanosatellite and Microsatellite Market Outlook

Owing to its wide applications and various excellent functions, these satellite systems are extensively used for defense and intelligence activities from government agencies. Moreover, these small machines are also widely adopted for commercial purposes to provide a proper communication channel. As per a report of Alen Space, up to 75% of all nanosatellites are expected to launch into the earth’s orbit for commercial purposes by the year 2022.

In general, the launch of normal satellites requires heavy vehicles to load and lift it into the space, which prove to be a challenging factor for several government and commercial organizations. Moreover, these smaller satellite are equally effective and useful for collecting or sharing information for various activities as normal satellite do. Rising adoption helps to minimize the cost for launching a satellite and reduce other additional capacity for payload in the carriers.

The expansion in the introduction of
the cost-efficient carriers such as small satellite launch vehicles (SSLVs) that helps to expand the potential growth in the nanosatellite market. Owing to the low cost of small satellites, several space missions are made possible and governments across the globe are focusing to develop new technology for space missions.


Additionally, the upgrade and incorporation of latest technology including robotics and AI in small satellites help to improve their functional capabilities. Some of the commonly used technology in these satellites include very high frequency (VHF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), and visible transmission technology.

Moreover, the adoption of machine learning (ML) intelligence on different space advancement platforms is offering effective communications, enhancing spacecraft reliability, improving coordination in the overall advancement of a mission, and providing more effective computing capabilities.

  • Growing demand for low-cost satellite for various communication purposes and other geo-scientific study of Earth are projected to propel the nanosatellite and microsatellite market growth.
  • Rising research activities and investments for space technology developments is expected to boost the nanosatellite and microsatellite market expansion.
  • Increasing tendency for space mission from several leading economies is estimated to drive the nanosatellite and microsatellite market growth.
  • Expanding upgrade of satellite carriers, launching infrastructure, and developments in satellites, are some of the factors contributing to the expansion of market.
  • Lack of sufficient availability of miniature satellites launch vehicles as well as the strict rules and regulations by the International Telecom Union related to radio frequencies are projected to hinder the market growth during the analysis period.
  • Growing use of satellites to reach the increasing demand for internet access in areas without broadband service is expected to present numerous opportunities for the expansion of market.
