The global market for Space Infrastructure as a Service was estimated to be worth US$ 12153 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 44927 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 19.7% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
Space Infrastructure as a Service is a commercial operation model that provides various space-related infrastructure, including satellite communication networks, space observation platforms, orbital facilities, ground support sites and other resources, to users in a service-oriented manner. Users do not need to invest in the construction and maintenance of these complex and costly space infrastructures on a large scale. Instead, they only need to flexibly obtain corresponding space infrastructure services through leasing, subscription and other means according to their own needs, so that they can focus on their core business and use space resources at a lower threshold and cost to carry out diversified activities such as earth observation, communication transmission, space scientific research and exploration.
The global Space Infrastructure as a Service (SIaaS) market is undergoing a paradigm shift, moving from a traditionally government-driven, capital-intensive industry toward a dynamic, service-oriented and commercially scalable sector.
At the center of this transformation is the Space Infrastructure as a Service business model, which allows public and private sector customers to access orbital infrastructure and space-related services without the need to own or operate satellites themselves. This model significantly reduces upfront capital expenditure and technical complexity, while allowing clients to scale services on demand.
Between 2020 and 2025, the market structure has changed dramatically. In 2020, the four largest players-Intelsat, SES S.A., Eutelsat OneWeb, and Airbus Defence and Space-collectively accounted for more than 70% of total market revenue, largely driven by geostationary (GEO) satellite capacity and long-term government contracts. By 2025, however, the concentration ratio (CR4) is expected to fall to around 55%, with the rise of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations and vertically integrated new entrants. Notably, SpaceX has emerged as the dominant force in Space Infrastructure as a Service, growing its market share from under 1% in 2020 to over 32% by 2025, thanks to its Starlink LEO network, internal launch capabilities, and an aggressive go-to-market strategy focused on mass market adoption.
In contrast, traditional satellite operators like Intelsat and SES have seen their relative positions decline, with their combined market share shrinking from nearly 59% in 2020 to less than 19% in 2025. These shifts reflect the broader structural move from GEO satellites-long known for their high latency and long deployment cycles-to more dynamic, cost-efficient LEO architectures. Companies such as MDA Space, Axiom Space, Loft Orbital, and Redwire are also carving out niche segments, offering services ranging from hosted payloads and robotic servicing to modular platforms and space-based analytics. The "Others" segment has grown significantly, highlighting increased fragmentation and the entry of specialized startups leveraging AI, edge computing, and custom sensors.
Looking ahead, the Space Infrastructure as a Service industry is expected to evolve in stages. In the short term (2024-2026), the focus will remain on expanding LEO constellations, verifying hybrid orbit models (e.g., combining LEO-MEO-GEO), and scaling customer onboarding. In the medium term (2027-2029), firms will develop in-orbit servicing, refueling, and assembly capabilities, as well as integrated space data infrastructure for real-time earth analytics. In the long term (2030 and beyond), the market is likely to extend into deep-space applications such as space manufacturing, solar power stations, cis-lunar logistics, and even Mars mission support. This trajectory follows a clear path from infrastructure deployment to service integration and, eventually, to a space-based economic ecosystem.
