Rising Demand for Commercial Applications Propelling Market Growth

The CubeSat market has been experiencing continuous growth. The rising demand for several commercial applications represents one of the primary drivers positively influencing the market. CubeSats are used across several commercial applications that include communication and IoT, geolocation and logistics, and signal monitoring (SIGINT). They are able to monitor radio signals transmitted from ground stations. This offers an advantage in the event of a disaster when they can provide prior information with respect to the degree of impact and the most adversely affected areas, permitting efficient planning for relief and rescue operations.

Global CubeSat Market

Competitive analysis such as market structure, market share by key players, player positioning, top winning strategies, competitive dashboard, and company evaluation quadrant has been covered in the report. Also, detailed profiles of all major companies have been provided. The market structure is fragmented due to the presence of several international and regional players in the industry. The volume of new entrants is moderate in the CubeSat industry due to the high market growth. However, high initial investment and legal barriers deter many players.

What is CubeSat?

CubeSats are cubical-shaped small satellites that are approximately four inches long with a volume of about one quart. These miniature satellites are exclusively used in low Earth orbit and interplanetary missions, due to their cost-effectiveness and fuel efficiency. As they are flown as auxiliary payloads on pre-planned missions, CubeSats facilitate the launch of missions from low earth orbit for commercial companies, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions. They currently find applications in remote sensing, geolocation and logistics, signal monitoring (SIGINT), and communications and performing scientific studies and technology demos in space.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has caused a severe problem for the CubeSat industry and imposed unprecedented challenges on numerous countries. It has forced governments across the globe to focus on medical services, which impelled countries to reduce their budgets for space programs to help pay for the pandemic response and recovery measures. This caused a significant drop in the production of CubeSat. In addition, the world continues to suffer from a series of destabilizing shocks, many companies experienced bankruptcy and a sharp decline in turnover. Moreover, the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic led to the implementation of stringent lockdown regulations across several nations resulting in the temporary halt in numerous space observation, communication, earth observation, and traffic monitoring activities, which limited the growth of the market.

CubeSat Market Trends:

The rising application of CubeSats in applications associated with earth observation, communication, science, and technology represents one of the major factors positively influencing the market across the globe. In addition, governing agencies and private companies are making significant investments in the CubeSat to rapidly manufacture and test satellites and explore upcoming technologies and ideas. They are also focusing on the development of the present network technologies by offering intricate logistics administration solutions. Besides this, various countries are focusing on developing CubeSats, due to their low cost and short development time, which is creating a favorable market outlook. Moreover, as CubeSat provides access to real-time information on assets, such as ships, aircraft, and vehicles, anywhere on the earth, it is gaining traction across the globe. Apart from this, the rising demand for small satellite constellations, technological expansion in electronic components for CubeSats, and increasing investments in space missions for research and development (R&D) activities to develop CubeSat constellation for varied applications, such as navigation, provision of the global wireless internet system, and telecommunication, are stimulating the growth of the market around the world.
