The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Space Robotics Market.
It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Space Robotics Market was likely to witness an impressive CAGR of 10.2% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.
Space Robotics Market Segment Insights:
By Solution Type:
The satellite servicing segment led the market in 2018, and is estimated to remain dominant during the forecast period. The growth of the satellite servicing segment can be attributed to the escalating demand and requirement for space-based services, such as satellite servicing, de-orbiting services, surface mobility, and resupply services.
By Application Type:
The near space segment is estimated to register the highest growth in the coming five years. This growth of the segment can be credited to the claim for resupply missions for the International Space Station (ISS), on-orbit satellite engineering, and increasing requirement to service prevailing geosynchronous satellites.
By End-User Type:
The commercial segment is expected to depict a higher growth against the government segment, during the forecast period, driven by the increasing demand for satellite servicing, refueling and mission extension services which provide prospects for satellite operators/owners by extending the life of satellites and hence, generate profits from prevailing satellite fleets, and deliver enhanced flexibility in handling in-orbit satellite fleets.
By Region:
North America was expected to register the largest share of the space robotics market in 2018, and the region is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period as well. The market is driven by high demand for space robotic activities from prominent establishments, such as NASA and the Department of Defense, owing to the rising dependence on space resources and for empowering safety in space operations. Europe and Asia-Pacific are also expected to offer substantial growth opportunities during the forecast period.
