Global Satellite and Spacecraft Sub-system Market Size is valued at USD 31.1 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 49.6 Bn by the year 2034 at a 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
Spacecraft and satellites are complex systems made up of many interconnected sub-systems that work together to complete their missions in orbit. Each sub-system performs a particular job, and when combined, they allow the satellite or spacecraft to carry out the duties they were designed for. A number of demand-creating variables, technological breakthroughs, governmental changes, and competitive forces drives the market dynamics for satellite and spacecraft sub-systems.
The need for satellites and spacecraft has increased as a result of growing interest in space exploration and the commercialization of space operations. These applications include Earth observation, communication, navigation, and scientific research. Along with other factors, these market drivers foster an industry that is dynamic and ever-evolving for satellite and spacecraft sub-systems, creating chances for both long-standing firms and fresh competitors.
However, several countries implemented travel and movement restrictions during the epidemic, which impacted the supply chain for satellite and spacecraft sub-system components. Project delays and higher expenses were the results of manufacturing and delivery delays.
The Satellite and Spacecraft Sub-system Market is segmented on the basis of end-user and product. Based on the segment End-User, the market is segmented as commercial, civil government, defence and academic/research groups. The product segment includes a satellite sub-system, launch vehicle sub-system, and deep space probe sub-system.
The market is segmented by satellite sub-system into the payload, electrical & power sub-system, command and data handling system, communication sub-system, thermal control sub-system, attitude determination and control system, propulsion system, mechanism, actuator, and structure. The launch vehicle sub-system segment includes structure, avionics, propulsion, control, electrical, stage separation, and thermal systems.
In 2021, most of the global Satellite and Spacecraft Sub-system Market is projected to come from the commercial sector. In the commercial sector, the market for satellite and spacecraft sub-systems has seen tremendous expansion and diversification in recent years. Commercial companies are aggressively deploying communication satellites to provide telecommunication services, broadband internet, TV, and satellite-based mobile communication. To meet growing demands for connectivity and data transfer, there is an increase in the demand for advanced communication sub-systems, such as high-frequency transponders and phased-array antennas.
The satellite sub-system segment is projected to grow at a rapid rate in the global satellite and spacecraft sub-system market. The prevalence of launch vehicles is increasing as a result of the proliferation of small satellite constellations, which provide diverse functions such as Earth observation, communications, and scientific study. Due to a number of variables, including decreased manufacturing costs, improved efficiency, and accessibility to specialized knowledge, there has been a growing trend toward outsourcing manufacturing in the launch vehicle industry.
North America Satellite and Spacecraft Sub-system Market is expected to record the maximum market share in terms of revenue in the near future. Major companies and regulatory bodies in the nation are heavily investing in technology. Regarding Earth observation missions, North American satellites provide crucial information for environmental monitoring, climate research, disaster management, and agricultural applications. It is essential to have sub-systems for high-resolution imaging and data processing for these missions.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
