Commercial Satellite Launch Service Market Size

The global commercial satellite launch service market was valued at USD 7.2 billion in 2023 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over 13% from 2024 to 2032. Increasing reliance on satellite-based communication systems for internet access, especially in remote and underserved areas, is driving demand for satellite launches.

 

Satellite connectivity is becoming essential in addressing the global digital divide, especially in remote, rural, and underserved regions where terrestrial infrastructure like fiber optics or cellular towers are difficult or costly to deploy. For instance, in September 2024, AST SpaceMobile launched its first five BlueBird commercial satellites. The company aims to create a space-based cellular network accessible by regular smartphones for both business and government use.

 

The development of reusable launch vehicles, such as SpaceX’s Falcon 9, has significantly reduced the cost of satellite launches. Reusability allows launch providers to offer more competitive pricing, which is attractive to satellite operators. Additionally, advancements in rocket technology, miniaturization of satellites, and improved payload capabilities enable operators to deploy multiple satellites in a single launch, increasing the efficiency of launches. This trend is facilitating a higher frequency of satellite deployments, contributing to market growth.
