Space Surveillance Analytics Market Report 2025

The space surveillance analytics market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.01 billion in 2024 to $2.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. Growth during the historic period can be attributed to the exponential increase in space traffic, the rise in space debris and associated collision risks, heightened military and government investments, the commercialization of space, and the growing need for multi-sensor data fusion.

The space surveillance analytics market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. Growth in the forecast period can be attributed to ongoing deployments of mega-constellations, increasing global security tensions, the expansion of commercial space services, greater adoption of cloud and hybrid deployment models, and the rapid growth in satellite launches. Key trends expected during the forecast period include the integration of AI and machine learning, development of high-frequency radar systems, advancements in synthetic aperture radar technology, enhancement of inter-satellite network cybersecurity, and the rise of hybrid cloud and edge analytics.

The rise in satellite launches is expected to drive growth in the space surveillance analytics market. Satellite launches involve deploying artificial satellites into orbit using rockets, supporting various applications such as communication, navigation, Earth observation, and scientific research. This increase is fueled by growing demand for global connectivity and broadband internet, as governments and private companies work to extend internet access to remote and underserved areas through satellite constellations in low Earth orbit. Space surveillance analytics contribute by tracking space debris and orbital objects, ensuring safe launch windows and preventing collisions during insertion into designated orbits. For example, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, a US-based nonprofit, there were 6,718 active satellites orbiting Earth at the end of 2022, an increase of nearly 2,000 from 2021. Thus, the growing number of satellite launches is supporting the expansion of the space surveillance analytics market.

Leading companies in the space surveillance analytics market are developing advanced technologies such as space situational awareness (SSA) object tracking to improve real-time monitoring of orbital debris and support strategic decisions in satellite operations and defense. SSA object tracking involves detecting, monitoring, and predicting the movements of objects in Earth's orbit to avoid collisions and ensure safe space activities. For example, in January 2024, NorthStar Earth & Space Inc., a Canada-based satellite data and monitoring provider, launched the world’s first commercial space-based SSA object tracking service. Using four satellites deployed by Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket, NorthStar monitors objects in low, medium, and geostationary Earth orbits to enhance space traffic management and collision avoidance. Developed in partnership with Spire Global and Rocket Lab, this system offers real-time tracking, anomaly detection, and conjunction alerts.

In July 2022, Raytheon Intelligence & Space, a US defense systems and intelligence solutions provider, acquired Northern Space and Security Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Raytheon’s space domain awareness capabilities by combining NORSS’s expertise with its resources, enabling delivery of advanced space surveillance solutions and supporting the UK’s leadership in space technology. Northern Space and Security Ltd. is a UK-based startup specializing in space surveillance analytics and other SSA services.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp hike in U.S. tariffs and the associated trade disputes in spring 2025 are notably impacting the aerospace and defense sector by raising costs for titanium, carbon fiber composites, and avionics materials largely sourced from global suppliers. Defense contractors, locked into fixed-price government contracts, absorb these added costs, while commercial aerospace firms face airline pushback on higher aircraft prices. Delays in component shipments due to customs bottlenecks further disrupt tight production schedules for jets and satellites. The industry is responding by stockpiling critical materials, seeking waivers for defense-related imports, and collaborating with allied nations to diversify supply chain.

Space surveillance analytics involves the extensive collection and in-depth analysis of data from multiple sensors to monitor, track, and identify objects in space, such as satellites, debris, and other spacecraft. This process enhances space situational awareness by accurately forecasting object trajectories and providing crucial insights that support strategic decision-making and safe operations in an increasingly congested space environment.

The primary components of space surveillance analytics include software, hardware, and services. Software consists of programs, data, or instructions used to operate computers and execute specific tasks. It is deployed through both on-premises and cloud platforms and serves a diverse range of end users, including government agencies, military organizations, commercial entities, and others.
