Driving Factors

One of the primary drivers of the on-orbit satellite servicing market is the aging satellite population. Many satellites in orbit are nearing the end of their operational lives and will need maintenance or replacement to keep operating. Satellites are typically designed to operate for a set period of time, after which they may experience technical issues or performance degradation. The increasing demand for satellite-based services such as communication, Earth observation, remote sensing, and navigation has resulted in an increase in satellite deployment. As the number of satellites in orbit increases, so does the need for on-orbit servicing, as these valuable assets require maintenance, repairs, and upgrades over time to ensure optimal performance and a longer lifespan.

 

Restraining Factors

The industry of on-orbit satellite servicing operates in a highly regulated environment. International, national, and regional laws, treaties, and guidelines govern space activities. Uncertainty in legal frameworks, as well as concerns about liability, can stymie the development and deployment of on-orbit servicing missions.

 

Market Segmentation

The Global On-Orbit Satellite Servicing Market share is classified into type, service, and end user.

  • The small satellites segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period.      

The global on-orbit satellite servicing market is categorized by type into small satellites, medium satellites, and large satellites. Among these, the small satellites segment is expected to grow at the fastest pace in the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period. Small satellites were becoming increasingly popular due to their versatility and low cost. As a result, the small satellites segment was expected to account for a significant share of the on-orbit satellite servicing market.       

  • The active debris removal (ADR) and orbit adjustment segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period.   

Based on the service, the global on-orbit satellite servicing market is divided into active debris removal (ADR) and orbit adjustment, robotic servicing, refueling, and assembly. Among these, the active debris removal (ADR) and orbit adjustment segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period. In the global on-orbit satellite servicing market, the Active Debris Removal (ADR) and Orbit Adjustment segment focuses on addressing the growing issue of space debris and optimizing satellite orbits. ADR missions involve capturing and removing defunct satellites or large space debris objects from critical orbits, either by safely deorbiting them into the Earth's atmosphere for controlled re-entry or moving them to a graveyard orbit.  

 

  • The commercial segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period.  

Based on the end user, the global on-orbit satellite servicing market is divided into military & government and commercial. Among these, the commercial segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global on-orbit satellite servicing market during the forecast period. In recent years, the commercial space industry has seen significant growth and investment, resulting in an increase in the deployment of commercial satellites for a variety of applications. Commercial operators are exploring on-orbit servicing to maintain and improve their satellite fleets due to the need for cost-effective solutions, sustainability, and optimal performance.
