DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Space Launch Services Market by Payload, Launch Platform, Service Type, Launch Vehicle and End-User: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2020-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

According to the report, the market accounted for a revenue of $9.88 billion in 2019 and is anticipated to generate $32.41 billion by 2027. The market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 15.7% from 2020 to 2027.

The increase in number of satellite and testing probe launches act as drivers for the market growth. In addition, the increased government investments and private funds also impact the space launch services market growth significantly. However, high initial costs associated with the launch services acts as a market restraint.

Also, the interoperability issues faced by companies discourage the space launch services market growth. The lack of skilled workforce and resistance to adaptability toward new technologies is one more factor that hampers the space launch services market growth. Meanwhile, efforts to reduce cost of launch services offers a lucrative opportunity for the market players.

Based on payload, the small satellites and cargo segment has garnered the highest market share in 2019. Growth opportunities in the satellites segment are higher owing to the commercial uses in communication and Earth observation for accurate and relevant data collection.

By launch platform, the highest space launch services market share was garnered by land platform followed by sea platform. However, increased R&D activities and developments in sea launch for alternate launch methods through movable launch platforms is expected to grow during the forecast period. The land platform is cost-effective and technologically upgraded compared to other platforms.

The service type segment is bifurcated into pre-launch and post-launch services. Pre-launch services hold a large market share and will continue the dominance during the forecast period.

The launch vehicle segment is further divided into small vehicles that can lift less than 300 tons and large vehicles that can lift above 300 tons. Heavy launch vehicle holds the larger market share and will continue to dominate the market owing to its use from early stages and larger presence.

The end-user segment is divided into government & military and commercial. The government & military sector dominates the market, owing to increased investments in exploration activities, especially in probe missions for military applications and human spacecrafts for future deep space exploration programs. The commercial segment is fastest growing segment as the commercialization of various satellites and cargo activities continues. The increased communication and earth observation satellites for accurate & relevant data collection drive the segment growth. U.S. holds the highest market share in the commercial segmentand European countries have the second-highest market share, in terms of launch service providers. This is attributed to the presence of earliest launch vehicle family in Russia, owing to early developments in the country.

Country-wise, the U.S. is expected to experience high growth, attributed to focus of large presence of manufacturers on business expansion. In-addition, Russia is developing new technology-based launch vehicles and increasing presence of private market players. Moreover, owing to rise in government spending on satellites and space exploration activities to strengthen military, Earth observation, and education industry, the space launch services market in China and India are expected to witness rapid growth.
