The global Nanosatellite and Microsatellite market was valued at USD 1,233.7 million in 2017 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 19.7% during the forecast period. Microsatellites are artificial satellites with mass of 10 kg to 100 kg (including fuel mass). Micro satellites are developed through miniaturization of existing satellites through advanced technology in imaging devices, peripheral circuits, building material, algorithms, and other components. Nanosatellites are artificial satellites weighing between 1 kg to 10 kg, and measuring around 30-by-10-by-10 centimeters. The demand for nanosatellites has increased significantly over the last few years owing to its low cost, light weight, ease of building and development, and high capability of performing complex computational tasks. New and upcoming companies such as Planet Labs, and Skybox Imaging are launching constellations of small satellites to offer near real-time remote sensing data, which can be easily obtained through the internet.
The demand for low cost micro satellites has increased significantly as companies operating large satellites are looking for lighter and cost effective platforms. Increasing use of data provided by nanosatellites by the commercial and civil sector would provide growth opportunities in this market. The increasing involvement of commercial companies, startups, and educational institutes drives the nanosatellite market. Reducing prices of nanosatellites has increased its application areas, thereby supplementing the growth of this market. Growing interest of governments in nano satellites for earth observation and defense sector would also support the growth of this market. Low cost associated with the development and operation of micro satellites, along with lighter weight as compared to medium and heavy satellites would boost the growth of this market. Expansion of established companies into emerging economies would provide numerous growth opportunities in the market.
