The global market for space situational awareness (SSA) services was valued at $125.2 million in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.3% itibaren 2022 ile 2032, reaching $172.7 million by 2032. This growth is primarily attributed to the increasing deployment of small satellite constellations in the low Earth orbit (LEO).

During the period from 2022 ile 2030, it is expected that 45,131 constellations will be installed, leading to a steady growth of the NewSpace market. Previously, most SSA capabilities were developed in-house by operators with limited access to data. However, commercial service providers have now entered the market, compiling diverse datasets and integrating them into digital platforms to provide actionable insights to the space industry.

Furthermore, the entry of multiple commercial satellite operators will result in even more satellite launches, exacerbating the congestion and risk of space debris. This emphasizes the critical need for space situational awareness services, which is expected to persist in the future.

Investments in small satellites in LEO are driving the demand for space situational awareness services. The increasing deployment of large satellite constellations in LEO during the forecast period will contribute to congestion, thus necessitating enhanced SSA services.

Commercial SSA service providers are investing in collision avoidance services to proactively predict impacts at least one week in advance. This proactive approach is expected to drive the demand for SSA services.

The drivers for the global SSA services market include the increase in the number of satellites in LEO, natural orbital decay of satellites, growing space debris clouds, evolving regulatory frameworks mandating collision avoidance maneuvers, the need for predictive actionable insights, evolving constellation operational requirements, automation of mission operations, frequent exchanges with satellites, inclusive spectrum allocations, concerns about signal interference events, adverse space weather events, emerging in-orbit service capabilities, risk of defunct satellites and launch vehicle parts, the need for diverse proximity operations, presence of compatible space hardware, increase in space weather events (solar flares), and growing threat perception among constellation operators and the aviation industry.

Diğer taraftan, the challenges faced by the global SSA services market include the lack of a global regulatory framework for enforcing space policies, availability of open-source data sets and in-house capabilities, expensive customized solutions, lack of global space data exchange, availability of free versions of the service, insufficient relevant computing and space infrastructure, absence of automation predictive capabilities, reduced customer interest, lack of compatible space hardware, limited demand for the service, low frequency of proximity services, lack of sufficient space weather data, and low frequency of space weather events.

There are various opportunities for different stakeholders in the global SSA services market, such as satellite operators, launch service providers, ground station operators, satellite manufacturers, subsystem and components suppliers, regulatory agencies, and national space agencies.

The low Earth orbit (LEO) is expected to dominate the global space situational awareness (SSA) services market based on orbit during the forecast period. According to data, there are 19,563 satellites operating in LEO, with 1,544 of them flying at an altitude of 500km and below. These satellites experience atmospheric drag, leading to more perturbations and greater orbital decay. Consequently, satellites operating at or below 500 km require constant inputs from space situational awareness service providers for effective station-keeping operations.

Diğer taraftan, there are 18,019 satellites operating at altitudes between 501 km and 1,500 km, primarily commercial satellites that will be replaced in the future. This altitude range is expected to remain active, resulting in increasing congestion and potential threats due to close proximity operations. The growing number of satellites operating in close proximity increases the risk of collision and signal interference. As a result, satellite operators at these altitudes are likely to subscribe to commercial SSA services to mitigate these risks.

Satellite operators rank highly among the end users of space situational awareness services because they need to locate their satellites and maintain uninterrupted communication with ground stations to provide services to their customers.

In terms of service, mission operation support is expected to slightly dominate the global SSA services market during the forecast period. With the increasing number of conjunctions in space, satellite operators have a heightened concern for conducting safe operations, leading to greater investments in mission operation support and increased demand for SSA services. The global market for mission operation support in space situational awareness services is projected to reach $99.2 million in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% itibaren $70.7 million in 2021. The rise in satellites and debris in space contributes to the high growth of the mission operations service market.

North America holds a dominant position in the space situational awareness services market, with substantial investments and revenue expected from the U.S. and Canada. Currently, the U.S. accounts for 80% of global space situational awareness services. This strong presence positions North America as a leading region in the market. The U.S. is heavily investing in research, development, and regulatory frameworks for SSA services, further solidifying its prominence in the market throughout the forecast period.
