Increasing Usage of Space by Countries for National Security to Boost Growth
The rising participation of multiple countries in the use of space for science, national security, and safety would drive the space situational awareness market growth in the upcoming years. At present, around 80 countries are active in the space industry. The surging congestion in spaceis compelling companies to partner up with other firms for ensuring safety and sustainability of space-related activities. In December 2020, for instance, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) set up a Space Situational Awareness Centre in Bangaloreto work on the Network for Space Object Tracking and Analysis(NETRA) project. However, there are numerous limitations from international and national government agencies revolving around the space industry, which, in turn, may hamper growth.
Segmentation-
Space Weather ServicesSub-segment to Dominate Fueled by Surging Satellite Launches
By objects, thismarket is segregated into mission-related debris, rocket bodies, fragmentation debris, non-functional spacecraft, and functional spacecraft.Based on end-users, it is categorized into commercial and military & government. Lastly, by offering, it is fragmented into software and services. The software segment is further split into space weather services, near-earth object detection services, and space surveillance and tracking services. Out of these, the space weather services sub-segment is expected to dominate throughout the forthcoming years because of the rising number of satellite launches. It held 30.05% in 2020 in terms of the space situational awareness market share.
