Report Description


The global small satellite market size was valued at ~USD 2.8 Bn in 2020 and is expected to reach ~USD 12.5 Bn by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 20.5% during the forecast period, 2021-2028.

Small satellites are low-cost substitutes that enable multinational firms, non-profit organizations, and educational establishments to perform low-Earth orbit operations.

Global Small Satellite Market Summary

These small satellites enable a wide range of scientific experiments and technology demonstrations to be carried out in orbit at a minimal cost, in an efficient way, and with high flexibility. Small, light satellites need small, less expensive launch vehicles, therefore numerous satellite launches are frequently conceivable. Small satellites allow for cost-effective design and production. The market is fueled by rising demand for LEO-based services, increased need for earth observation images and analytics, and growing number of space research missions.

  • Growing demand for high-definition earth imaging, significant investments in space research, and increasing number of government operations are some of the primary drivers for market expansion.
  • The restriction of small satellites in terms of payload capacity, as well as the lack of designated small satellite launch vehicles, impede the expansion of the small satellite market.
  • Research & development is aided by financial incentives, which ais expected to create high potential in the small satellite market over the forecast period.
