Pacing at this rate, the global market is expected to be worth US$2.2 bn by the end of 2024, from a valuation of US$529.1 mn in 2015. Based on solution, the hardware segment emerged dominant holding over 35% of the overall market in 2015. However, data processing is expected to beat other solution-based segments in terms of CAGR over the forecast period. Regionally, North America will enjoy lead, while Asia Pacific is projected to exhibit fastest growth as the regional market for nanosatellite and microsatellite market.
Application Across Diverse Industries to Boost Growth
The fact that microsatellites and nanosatellites are witnessing application across diverse industries is one of the chief factors boosting the market. Nanosatellites and microsatellites are also used for mapping and navigation. Besides this, their most critical use is in scientific research and in the military and defense sector other than various commercial purposes. The technologies hve managed high acceptance because it has proven a more feasible alternative to large satellite. They can fulfil specific research requirements sans incurring huge expenditure, which has led to their widespread uptake in scientific research.
Despite the positive opportunities, the fact that benefits achieved from nanosatellites and microsatellites can only cater to short and medium term requirements creates a few hindrances for the market. The likelihood of saturation of use also pose threat to the global nanosatellite and microsatellite market. Furthermore, the impact of lower production and development cost will remain impressively high through the course of the forecast period. This could help the market gain pace in the near future.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It

If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
