LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global electric propulsion satellite market report. This market research report also lists four other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
According to the research analysis, the global electric propulsion satellite market is expected to grow at a CAGR of close to 14% during the forecast period. The market is highly competitive, where vendors compete based on the cost of developing electric propulsion technology for satellites, advancement of technologies, overall weight and size of satellite platforms, as well as the reliability of satellites.
To enhance their respective market share, prominent vendors are emphasizing on offering futuristic solutions for both orbital injection and station-keeping process, while ensuring all customer demands are met. The issue associated with the weight of a chemically powered satellite can be substantially addressed by integrating electric propulsion technology, which can theoretically reduce the overall weight of any satellite by up to 40%.
According to Moutushi Saha, a lead analyst at Technavio for space research, “The vendors should also cooperate and work together along with the space launch system developers and service providers. It will help to integrate the entire space mission and help tackle the issues of space launch delays. There is also the growing concern of space debris and respective mitigation measures that are expected to be implemented, including the requirement for deorbiting systems in the miniaturized satellites.”
