Satellites are in high demand for defense and commercial uses, including command and control, and government operations. This demand drives market growth, with armed forces worldwide using satellites for various purposes. Electric propulsion satellites are gaining popularity across sectors due to their performance and efficiency. Small all-electric satellites are increasingly used because of their low cost and readily available components. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) projects that 58,000 new satellites will be launched by 2030, more than doubling the current number of operational spacecrafts. This significant increase in launches is primarily driven by the deployment of large satellite constellations designed to provide essential services, such as broadband internet access to underserved rural areas.
