Small Satellite Market by Type (Nanosatellite, Microsatellite, Minisatellite) worth 7.53 Billion USD by 2022

The small satellite market is projected to grow from USD 2.92 Billion in 2017 to USD 7.53 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 20.83% during the forecast period. Factors such as increasing focus on reducing mission costs, satellite miniaturization, and increasing demand for earth observation related applications are expected to fuel the growth of the market.

Based on type, the nanosatellite segment of the small satellite market is projected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period. Due to their low mass and small size, several satellites can be launched simultaneously from a single vehicle launcher. These satellites are designed for specific tasks, such as communication, earth observation, and space exploration, and together, in a group, perform a mission.
