Increasing research and development (R&D) activities to develop CubeSat constellations for various applications; demand for CubeSats across different geographies; and increasing rate of investments in the space industry by government and commercial organizations are major factors driving the global CubeSat market
The 3U segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the CubeSat market in 2018 due to the increasing demand for Earth observation, and science & technology, and education applications
Based on size, the 3U segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the CubeSat market in 2018. 3U CubeSats can be used in various applications such as Earth observation & traffic monitoring, meteorology, science & technology and education, research & exploration, mapping & navigation, and surveillance & security. 3U CubeSats can carry a larger payload in comparison to 2U CubeSats and are preferred for missions requiring multiple applications. Its larger mass prolongs its life as the harsh space weather and thermal extremities take longer to destroy the CubeSat. Larger batteries, solar panels, and better propulsion systems have helped 3U CubeSats to be used on longer missions and have precision movement.
The Earth observation & traffic monitoring segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the CubeSat market in 2018
Based on size, the Earth observation & traffic monitoring segment is estimated to account for the largest share of the CubeSat market in 2018. The high mobility of CubeSats due to their compactness makes them ideal for Earth observation, including tracking of various weather-related phenomena.
The CubeSat market in North America is estimated to account for the largest share of the global CubeSat market in 2018
The CubeSat market in North America is expected to witness substantial growth during the forecast period due to the number of CubeSats launched every year and the increasing demand for satellite services from satellite operators and government agencies. The growing use of CubeSats for Earth observation services and in government & military applications are some of the factors driving the market in the US, China, Japan, and India.
