As per the BIS Research space database, the global satellite launch forecast estimates 45,131 satellites to be launched within the 2022-2032 timeline.

BIS Research, the global leader in providing market intelligence on deep technologies, has released its latest study titled Satellite Docking System Market – A Global and Regional Analysis.

According to this study, the global satellite docking system market was valued at $40.3 million in 2021 and is projected to reach $1.01 billion by 2032.

The following factors are responsible for the increase in demand for satellite docking system:

  • Growing demand for sustainable space operations
  • Growing demand for optimizing satellite operation cost

 

The detailed study is a compilation of 53 market data tables and 49 figures spread through 153 pages.

Analyst’s Take on the Market Projection

According to Nilopal Ojha, Principal Analyst, BIS Research, “The in-orbit refueling services have started few life-extension missions with the help of external propulsion that supports the existing satellite. While the life-extension services have gained traction for the non-cooperative satellite, most satellite manufacturers and operators are looking for more cooperative satellites so that they can be easily refueled in space. With the increasing satellite constellations, companies are expecting more cooperative satellites that can be refueled and get more return on their investment. Since the deployment of refueling, compatible hardware is yet to be deployed across missions. Moving forward, with such hardware being included as part of satellite platforms, the satellite docking mechanism is expected to have huge potential in the coming years. The satellite docking system market will also be driven by startups that are focused on establishing unique use cases to support a range of applications covering Earth-orbit to deep space missions.”

Refueling to be the Leading Service Type for the Satellite Docking System Market

Commercial operators wish to extend the lifespan of the satellites, which helps them to earn more revenue with the existing satellite. As part of this program, they chose to take advantage of in-orbit services such as refueling, repairing, replacement, inspection, manufacturing, and assembly. To conduct all these in-orbit services, they require a satellite docking system or a space docking station.

As per the study conducted by BIS Research, the service of in-orbit refueling is expected to dominate the market of satellite docking system during the forecast period 2022-2032.
