The global CubeSat market was valued at $205.0 million in 2022, and is projected to reach $870.7 million by 2032, registering a CAGR of 16.22% from 2023 to 2032.
A cubeSat can be used as a single unit (1 U) or in clusters of several units or U’s such as 1U, 2U, 3U, 6U, 12U, and others. For more than a span of 10 years, CubeSats have eased space launches. They are cost-effective solutions that have eased the launch of missions for low-Earth orbit for commercial companies, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions. These miniaturized satellites provide opportunities to perform several scientific studies and technology demos in space in a cost-effective, timely, and relatively easy manner.
CubeSats are widely used by researchers and experts globally for the exploration of space. The small size and weight characteristics of CubeSats make them quite suitable to rapidly manufacture and test, thus making them a perfect and inexpensive entity for the exploration of upcoming technologies and ideas. Small size and weight of cubeSat in comparison with conventional satellites are anticipated to boost the CubeSat market during the forecast period. However, limitations of CubeSats regarding payload accommodation as compared with large satellites are expected to hamper the growth of the CubeSat market during the forecast period.
CubeSats not only offer a practical solution for demonstrating innovative technologies but also force tremendous diminishment of the payloads and systems that boost the new approaches for spacecraft integration. CubeSats can acquire real-time interpretations of their environment and provide an affordable tool to launch smaller payloads. The most striking feature of cubeSats in terms of scientific exploration is that it offers versatility in space exploration missions that have the capability to provide much-required data about the solar system. In addition, owing to these characteristics, cubeSats can be manufactured relatively quickly.
Moreover, a CubeSat can be produced and launched into orbit based on the requirements, adding very little to the total cost in comparison to the expenses of traditional satellite missions. While it takes five to fifteen years to create and launch a large or conventional satellite into orbit, a CubeSat may be developed and launched into the required orbit in less than eight months.
CubeSats are expected to drive and provide the cubeSat market with growth opportunity during the forecast period. However, limitations of cubeSats regarding payload accommodation and stringent government regulations regarding the CubeSats are anticipated to hamper the growth of the market. Moreover, the developments of the technologies to enhance cubeSat capabilities and increase in demand for space data are expected to offer lucrative opportunities in future.
The global CubeSat market was severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to disturbances in the supply chain and production procedures. The dynamics of the market were impacted by fluctuating demand and economic uncertainty.
The market is propelled by numerous modern satellites, which are being built for new uses such as space mining and trash clearance, while cubeSats' capabilities and utility are growing as a result of technology breakthroughs in communications and electronics. In terms of space mining, several commercial companies have already launched initiatives to take advantage of the water, minerals, and energy resources found in space. The most sophisticated cubesats are made to break down as soon as their mission is over and reach the atmosphere, preventing them from adding to the growing amount of space junk.
Companies and government organisations are currently working on initiatives to learn how to clear debris as major brands are taking more and more initiatives in this area. For instance, to find the best techniques for cleaning up space debris, the Remove Debris project, intends to evaluate critical active debris removal (ADR) technologies. The use of CubeSats to supply novel solutions is expected to boost the CubeSats market growth during the forecast period. The use of cubesats in the commercial sector has grown significantly in recent years due to the reduction in weight, increased standardisation, and decreased cost of satellite components. Small satellites are used in industries such as agriculture, forestry, energy, media & entertainment, civil engineering, and archaeology. Small satellites are used to provide communication services, high-resolution Earth photography, and space-based Internet access. With 36 small satellites in orbit, American startup Planet Labs offers high-resolution photos to commercial customers. Through tiny satellites, a number of businesses, including Digital Globe, O3B, and Skybox, offer services such as real-time satellite imagery, space-based Internet, and telephony.
The CubeSat market is segments into size, application, end user, subsystem, and region. By size, the market is divided into 0.25U to 1U, 1 to 3U, 3U to 6U, 6U to 12U, and 12U and above. By application, the market is segmented into earth observation & traffic monitoring, science & technology, and education, space observation, communication, and others. On the basis of end user, the market is segmented into government & military, commercial, and non-profit organizations. Depending on subsystem, the market is classified into payloads, structures, electrical power systems, command & data handling, propulsion systems, attitude determination & control systems, and others.
Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America (U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Russia, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, Middle East and Africa).
