Space logistics market seen reaching $10.84 billion by 2030

The Business Research Company says the global space logistics market will grow from $4.51 billion in 2026 to $10.84 billion by 2030, driven by satellite launches, government space spending and demand for in-orbit servicing. North America leads now, while Asia-Pacific is expected to grow fastest.

Why it matters: - Space logistics is becoming a core layer of the space economy as more satellites, cargo missions and in-orbit services are needed to keep spacecraft operating. - The market’s rapid growth signals rising demand for launch support, transport, servicing and debris management across government and commercial missions.

What happened: - The Business Research Company released its Space Logistics Global Market Report 2026 on Sept. 30, 2026. - The report says the space logistics market will rise from $3.6 billion in 2025 to $4.51 billion in 2026. - The report forecasts the market will reach $10.84 billion by 2030. - The report projects a 25.0% CAGR from 2025 to 2026 and a 24.6% CAGR through 2030. - North America held the largest market share in 2025. - Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. - The report covers Asia-Pacific, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The company also offers a free sample of the report and the full market report.

The details: - Space logistics includes planning, coordination and management of movement, supply and operational support for spacecraft, satellites and related assets during missions. - The market’s recent growth is tied to government space program investment, more satellite launches, demand for satellite lifecycle management, better spacecraft servicing technologies and broader deployment of orbital assets. - Future growth is expected to come from commercial space ventures, satellite servicing missions, orbital logistics networks, sustainability efforts for space assets and reusable space transport systems. - The report points to autonomous space logistics, in-orbit servicing and maintenance, cargo delivery services, space debris management and commercial infrastructure support as emerging trends. - Space logistics supports reliable operation across a mission lifecycle and helps avoid disruptions. - The report says the market’s role is to extend mission duration and improve capabilities through transport, supply, servicing and coordination in orbit and beyond. - The report includes market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrix graphics and tables, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspots infographics, key technologies and future trend analysis, plus updated graphics and tables.

Between the lines: - The market outlook reflects a shift from isolated launches to a more mature space infrastructure model that needs continuous support services. - Government spending remains a major demand engine, but commercial activity is increasingly shaping the long-term forecast. - The emphasis on debris management and sustainability suggests operators are treating orbital congestion as a business and operational risk, not just a technical issue. - The report cites Space Foundation data showing more than 2,800 satellites launched in 2023, up 23% from 2022. - The report also cites Space Foundation data showing government space funding rose 6.7% in 2024 to $132 billion worldwide, including $77 billion from the United States for security and civilian space programs.

What's next: - The report expects continued expansion in satellite servicing, orbital transfer, cargo transport and in-orbit support as mission counts rise. - Asia-Pacific’s growth trajectory suggests more investment and activity outside North America as the market broadens globally. - Demand for reusable space transport systems and autonomous logistics tools is likely to shape competitive strategy through 2030. - The company says its report package now includes strategic insights and forecasting tools designed to track those shifts.
