Market Trends of north america satellite bus Industry
The trend for better fuel and operational efficiency has been witnessed
- A satellite bus (or spacecraft bus) is the main body and structural component of a satellite or spacecraft, in which the payload and all scientific instruments are held. Moreover, the growing utilization of commercial satellite platforms for dual (military and civil) purposes has boosted the satellite bus market. Satellite communications are envisioned to be an essential part of the 5G infrastructure. In order to provide seamless connectivity between terrestrial and satellite, the satellite transport conduit is being integrated into the overall communication map. This will result in new opportunities for extending satellite services in urban and rural areas.
- China is investing significant resources toward augmenting its space-based capabilities. The country has launched the largest number of nano and microsatellites in Asia-Pacific. In April 2022, Chinese startup SpaceWish’s nanosatellite was launched into LEO boarding CZ-2C (3) rocket. XINGYUAN-2 is a 6U remote sensing CubeSat that weighs approximately 7.5 kg.
- In addition, the indigenous development of nano and microsatellites has been one of the areas of emphasis for the industry in India. Many startups and universities are developing these satellites at various levels in the country. For instance, in December 2018, Exseed Space launched a nanosatellite named ExseedSAT 1 to provide vital communication for radio amateurs. This was India’s first privately owned satellite into space. Countries like Australia, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore are also investing in the development of nano and microsatellites.

The increasing space expenditures of different space agencies are expected to impact the satellite industry positively
- Government's spending on space programs in North America hit approximately around 20 billion in 2021. The region is the epicenter of space innovation and research, with the presence of the world's biggest space agency, NASA. Since, the major investments in this field attracts various other sub system and component manufacturers and creates opportunities for them.
- In the region, in 2022, the US government spent nearly USD 24 billion on its space programs, making it the highest spender on space in the world. Apart from the United States, the Canadian space sector adds USD 2.3 billion to the Canadian GDP and employs 10,000 people, according to the Canadian government. The government reports that 90% of Canadian space firms are small- and medium-sized businesses. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) budget is modest, and the estimated budgetary spending for 2022-23 was USD 329 million.
- In terms of research and investment grant, the region's governments and the private sector have dedicated funds for research and innovation in the space sector. Agencies spend available budgetary resources by making financial promises called obligations. For instance, till February 2023, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) distributed USD 333 million as research grants.
