The increasing demand for satellite deployment, in-orbit servicing, and space exploration initiatives is driving growth in the market. With advancements in reusable launch technologies and the proliferation of satellite constellations for communications and Earth observation, the need for reliable transportation and operational support in space has surged. Furthermore, the rise of commercial space ventures, including space tourism and mining, alongside government-led lunar and Mars exploration programs, is fostering innovation and expanding opportunities in the market.

These factors, combined with efforts to manage space debris and develop sustainable orbital infrastructure, are propelling the sector’s expansion globally. For instance, in October 2024, Sierra Space secured a fixed-price contract from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to work on the Rocket Experimentation for Global Agile Logistics (REGAL) program. The company, which focuses on commercial space and defense technology, will develop methods to transport materials to and from space. Sierra Space aims to build orbital infrastructure to support space operations.
