Market Highlights

Space Battery Market Was Valued At USD 256.15 Million In 2021 And Is Expected To Reach USD 390.52 Million By 2030 With A CAGR Rate Of 4.7% During 2022–2030.

Batteries are used in different vehicles, especially space application equipment and vehicles. The space battery has been a significant sector that has grown in tandem with the space applications sector. As humans increase their expeditions into space, even going for private space tours with space science giants like SpaceX, the demand for space batteries has also increased to a huge extent. Space expeditions to different planets and solar systems in the universe have increased. This has brought about a natural growth in the space battery market size.

The increase in the number of satellite launches, growing demand for small satellites, increase in demand for earth observation and communications, and significant investments by venture capital firms and government in the space industry are the key factors driving the market growth.

However, issues related to the high cost of development and stringent government regulations are expected to be major restraining factors for market growth. On the other hand, the usage of space batteries for electric vehicles and reusable satellite launch vehicles is expected to present lucrative opportunities for the market players during the forecast period. Designing small batteries for various space applications is also going to be a challenge for the market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 started as a localized virus, but it swiftly spread worldwide and throughout the world. Because of the economic impact of the COVID-19 issue on total budgets, major countries like the US, the UK, China, and Germany have slashed aerospace spending, lowering the average. The global aerospace sector has been severely impacted by the pandemic. Governments are focusing on "flattening the curve" in their country as COVID-19 cases continue to rise and vaccine distribution in underdeveloped countries is delayed. Governments are focusing their energies on medical equipment, vaccination development and manufacture, and rollout programs.

The expansion of the space battery business is expected to have a detrimental impact on these countries. Furthermore, decreasing income for space battery companies is expected to provide a setback for space battery providers and battery maintenance companies. Due to quick vaccine deployment in large economies and business travel returning to pre-pandemic levels, the market is likely to rise once the global economy recovers. However, the growth rate is projected to revert to pre-pandemic levels in a few years.
