About the Space Industry
The space economy has moved firmly into the mainstream of global industry, driven by satellite services, launch, in‑space infrastructure, and emerging human spaceflight and commercial station programs.

Global space economy size (2023–2024):
commonly estimated in the USD 550–630 billion range, with scenarios projecting it could approach or exceed USD 1 trillion by early 2030s and potentially USD 1.8 trillion by 2035–2040, depending on adoption of space‑enabled services and infrastructure.

Growth drivers:
broadband connectivity, Earth observation and data analytics, defense and security, climate and resilience services, and the first wave of commercial in‑space infrastructure and human spaceflight offerings.

In addition, there are critical space trends that are enabling the current growth and will drive the coming few years. This includes access to more affordable and reliable launch services, Direct to Device connectivity, AI in space and orbital data-centers, and eventually, the rising concerns of geopolitical conflicts and potential threats to space assets.
