The Global Rocket Propulsion Market is anticipated to exceed USD 10.87 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2022 to 2032. The increase in expenditure on the aerospace sector and launch operations, the country's greater attempt to develop domestic production capabilities, efforts to minimize the carbon footprint contributed by rocket propulsion systems, improvements in technology to reduce manufacturing costs and improve efficiency, and the development of retrievable propulsion systems are the key factors affecting the global rocket propulsion market.

 

Market Overview

A rocket is an airplane, missile, spaceship, or other vehicle that generates propulsion. The rocket's propulsion mechanism generates thrust. Rocket engines use three types of propellants: solid, liquid, and hybrid (a combination of both liquid and solid propellants). Solid fuels can be utilized in solid rocket engines, which produce a lot of thrusts and are more reliable than traditional propulsion systems. However, solid rocket engines cannot be restarted. Rockets use a solid propellant, whereas liquid jet engines utilize liquid fuel, produce more thrust, and are more controlled. However, liquid-engine rockets are costly due to their complex designs. Rockets supported by hybrid propulsion use both solid and liquid fuel in two stages. In hybrid rocket engines, both solid and liquid propulsion techniques can be utilized.

 

Some of the factors fueling the growth of the rocket propulsion system market include an increase in rocket propulsion demand due to an increase in space expeditions, high efficiency and advancements in technology in rocket propulsion, and an increase in commercial space applications. The advancement of reusable rocket technology, as well as the introduction of space tourism, are projected to significantly boost demand for rocket propulsion in the coming years.

Driving Factors

 

Mission expansion in space exploration

Across the past decade, countries such as the United States, China, India, Japan, Russia, and organizations such as the European Space Agency have launched 19 space exploration or planetary missions. Every year, the global government budget grows larger. Governments are making investments in space exploration projects and infrastructure support. A company's capital expenditure is the acquisition of physical assets for the purpose of furthering its long-range company objectives and goals. As reported by Space Capital LP, a venture capital firm based in the United States that invests in space-based methods, venture capital made investments of $17.1 billion into 328 space companies in 2021, which amounts to 3% of total global venture capital flows. As reported by USA Spending, a US-based official open data source of federal spending data, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had $30.44 billion in available budgetary resources in FY 2022 to propel advances in technology, aeronautics, and space exploration in order to enhance knowledge and innovation. As a result, rising government spending and capital investment by space agencies are projected to increase demand for rocket propulsion systems throughout the projected period.

 

Restraining Factors

The coronavirus outbreak's financial meltdowns and other unprecedented consequences have had negative effects on global industry verticals, including the aerospace industry. The Gaganyaan crewed orbital spacecraft mission in India was scheduled to launch in 2022. However, this space operation was postponed due to the COVID-19 crisis, primarily due to reduced Department of Space expenditure. Such obstacles may have resulted in a decrease in space launch vehicle manufacturing and harmed the companies of rocket propulsion system manufacturers around the world.

 

Market Segmentation

 

The Global Rocket Propulsion Market share is classified into type, propulsion, and end user.

 

• The rocket engine segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period. 

The global rocket propulsion market is segmented by type into rocket motor and rocket engine. Among these, the rocket engine segment is expected to grow at the highest pace in the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period. The growth of the rocket engine segment is frequently attributed to the increasing number of launch service providers worldwide, drop-in cost for launches, and thus increased demand for reusable launch vehicles.  

 

• The hybrid propulsion segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period.         

Based on the propulsion, the global rocket propulsion market is divided into solid propulsion, liquid propulsion, and hybrid propulsion. Among these, the hybrid propulsion segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period. The application of propellants that include polyethylene with a high density and nitrous oxide (NO) can also ensure extremely low manufacturing energy requirements, resulting in low carbon footprints for engines. The growing demand for environmentally friendly and safe rocket engine systems will consequently boost the use of hybrid fuel-propelled engines.

         

• The military & government segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period.  

The global rocket propulsion market is divided into two segments based on end user: commercial, military & government. Among these, the military & government segment is expected to hold the largest share of the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period. Rising defence expenditures by both developed and developing nations, and thus the need to support military operations and cyber operations through the use of various types of satellites, such as remote sensing satellites, communication and surveillance satellites, and a variety of others, will likely contribute to the growth of the global rocket propulsion market during the forecast period.
