What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Orbital Transfer Vehicle Market?
The surge in satellite launches is predicted to drive the expansion of the orbital transfer vehicle market in the future. The process of establishing a satellite in its assigned orbit and activating its systems to start its operational task is known as satellite deployment. The escalating demand for global connectivity and high-speed internet services has largely driven the surge in satellite deployment, leading companies and governments to launch additional satellites to broaden their coverage. Orbital transfer vehicles play a crucial role in satellite deployment by moving payloads from lower Earth orbits to higher or geostationary ones, thus ensuring accurate positioning and enhancing mission productivity. For example, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), an Indian national space agency, reported in April 2024 that there were 212 launches in 2023 contributing to the space population, a rise from 179 the previous year in 2022. Furthermore, the report indicated that the total number of objects in space increased from 2,533 to 3,143. Consequently, the rising satellite deployments are fueling the expansion of the orbital transfer vehicle market.
