Business Opportunities in the Commercial Space Industry
If before space was only a matter of scientific, political, or philosophical interest, the last twenty years have proven that this industry is now both financially viable and profitable
As we speak, the space industry, or New Space, consists of over ten thousand private space tech companies, employs over one million people, has an annual global revenue of $420 billion, and is expected to skyrocket to one trillion by 2040. In 2021, total investments in space companies reached a record number of $17.1 billion, making up 3% of total global venture capital investments - a fifty percent increase from the preceding year.
Cascades of innovation in the last couple of decades have resulted in a lower cost of entry
One additional thing that accelerates new space growth is the availability of off-the-shelf components for satellites and other infrastructures. Online marketplace platforms allow space startups to find, assess and purchase space products, sub-systems, components, software, and other services from suppliers worldwide.
In other words, the space industry is in the pre-stage of exponential growth, and there will be no better time for taking action and becoming an early adopter or innovator.
