The global market for Space Mining was estimated to be worth US$ 1771 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 4800 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 16.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Space mining refers to the process of extracting and utilizing valuable resources from celestial bodies beyond Earth, such as asteroids, the Moon, Mars, and their satellites, through the use of spacecraft, robotics, and other advanced engineering technologies. The resources targeted include metals like iron, nickel, cobalt, and platinum-group elements, as well as rare minerals, construction materials, and water ice. These materials can serve multiple purposes: supporting off-Earth bases by providing life support and fuel (e.g., splitting water ice into hydrogen and oxygen), or being transported back to Earth to meet industrial and commercial demand. The ultimate goal of space mining is to alleviate resource constraints on Earth while enabling sustainable human presence and long-term exploration in outer space.
The space mining market is primarily driven by growing resource demand, technological advancements, and supportive policy frameworks. On Earth, reserves of rare metals and critical minerals are increasingly constrained, while high-tech industries such as semiconductors, clean energy, and spacecraft manufacturing require a steady supply of platinum-group elements, rare earths, and other scarce resources. This rising demand encourages the exploration of extraterrestrial sources as potential alternatives. At the same time, rapid progress in reusable rockets, deep-space probes, autonomous robotics, and artificial intelligence is improving the feasibility and economic viability of space mining by significantly reducing the costs of access and operations. Furthermore, governments and international bodies are placing stronger emphasis on space industry development, with the U.S., EU, China, Japan, and others releasing supportive policies and initiatives that create a favorable regulatory and funding environment for commercial ventures. In addition, space mining is closely tied to the establishment of lunar bases, deep-space exploration, interplanetary travel, and space-based energy utilization, all of which provide strong long-term growth momentum for the market.
