The space on-board computing platform market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2. 43 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12. 6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the expansion of commercial space activities, increased adoption of edge computing in space, growth in deep space exploration missions, the demand for autonomous satellite operations, and the use of quantum computing in space applications. Notable trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of artificial intelligence in space computing, the development of software-defined space systems, the utilization of high-performance computing in space, the implementation of onboard machine learning and analytics, and the ongoing miniaturization of space computing components.
The growth in space exploration missions is poised to drive the expansion of the space-on-board computing platform market in the future. Space on-board computing platforms play a crucial role in various space exploration missions, facilitating information gathering through diverse applications, storing and analyzing data, and distributing collected information to support mapping and navigation in both Earth and space exploration endeavors. Additionally, space on-board computing enables applications to adapt to new situations or requirements, allowing for the swift deployment of updates or algorithms to existing systems, particularly for image analysis in space missions. For instance, as of November 2021, approximately 8,378 satellites were launched into space, and NASA's budget for space exploration in 2021 increased by 3% compared to previous years, reaching $23. 3 billion. Thus, the increasing number of space exploration missions is a driving force behind the growth of the space on-board computing platform market.
The growing demand for industrial robots is expected to be a significant driver for the space on-board computing platform market in the foreseeable future.
