The global small satellite market size was estimated to be US$ 2.75 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 21.7 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 20.7%.
In February 2020, Surrey Satellite Technology got an agreement from the UK Space Agency, which affirmed it would contribute US$ 419.9 million every year with ESA for the execution period of its Lunar data-relay spacecraft, Lunar Pathfinder.
Likewise, the Canadian government's Industrial Technologies' office intends to give Canada-based UrtheCast US$ 13.4 million to help the continuous improvement of its X-and L-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) design on a smallsat stage. Hence, expanded government conjectures have offered development possibilities for the small satellite market during next few years. Small satellites, including nanosatellites, microsatellites, and minisatellites, anticipate a significant part in Earth profiling and weather forecasting applications.
Small satellites are additionally known by the name of smallsats and are mostly under the weight of 180 kgs and have the size of an enormous home kitchen. These small smallsats are in addition classified into various kinds, for example, minisatellite that reaches between 100-180 kgs, microsatellite with 10-100 kgs, nanosatellite with 1-10 kgs, picosatellite that are of 0.01-1kgs, and femtosatellite with the weight of 0.001 – 0.01 kgs.
The fast spread of Coronavirus in Europe, the US and Asia Pacific has prompted a huge drop for Small Satellites worldwide, with a comparing decrease in incomes for different providers, specialist organizations across all business sectors resulting from late conveyance, producing unit’s shutdown, the restricted staff at assembling offices, and restricted accessibility of hardware.
