Space Cybersecurity Market Report 2025

The space cybersecurity market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $4.96 billion in 2024 to $5.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing reliance on satellite-based communication, escalating threats from nation-state cyber operations, greater use of commercial space assets in military activities, growth in the number of satellites and space assets, and a rise in cyber incidents targeting ground control systems.

The space cybersecurity market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.67 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing commercialization and privatization of space, rising frequency of mega-constellation deployments, expansion of space-based data services and edge computing, and growing international regulations and cybersecurity mandates. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the convergence of cyber and electronic warfare in space, a shift toward zero-trust architectures in satellite networks, the development of space-specific cybersecurity frameworks and standards, growth of satellite-as-a-service models, and an increased focus on supply chain security for satellite components.

The increasing adoption of cloud infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the space cybersecurity market in the coming years. Cloud infrastructure consists of the foundational systems of servers, storage, networking, and virtualization software that support cloud computing, allowing users to access computing resources over the internet on demand. This growing adoption is attributed to its capability to enable real-time data processing and analytics for space operations by providing scalable computing power and global accessibility. Cloud infrastructure enhances space cybersecurity by offering scalable, on-demand computing resources for real-time threat detection and response. It also facilitates global data sharing and analytics, thereby strengthening the security of satellite systems and ground networks. For example, in December 2023, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based government agency, reported that 45.2% of enterprises purchased cloud computing services, marking a 4.2% increase from 41% in 2021. Hence, the rising adoption of cloud infrastructure is fueling the expansion of the space cybersecurity market.

Key companies in the space cybersecurity market are focusing on developing advanced threat monitoring and collaboration platforms to improve global space security, reduce cyber risks, and promote international cooperation. Threat monitoring and collaboration platforms are systems that enable real-time detection, analysis, and response to cyber threats targeting space infrastructure while encouraging information sharing among global stakeholders. For instance, in April 2025, the Space Information Sharing and Analysis Center (Space ISAC), a US-based nonprofit organization, launched its UK Global Hub. This strategic initiative boosts global threat monitoring and enhances international space security by encouraging cross-border collaboration, real-time intelligence sharing, and coordinated incident response among government agencies, private companies, and research institutions. The hub utilizes advanced analytics and automated threat detection systems to protect critical space infrastructure - including satellites and ground stations - from increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

In September 2024, Airbus Defence and Space, a division of Airbus SE based in the Netherlands, acquired INFODAS GmbH for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Airbus aims to enhance its cybersecurity offerings to better safeguard defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure systems by leveraging INFODAS’s advanced Secure Domain Transition (SDoT) technologies and high-security certifications. INFODAS GmbH, a Germany-based cybersecurity firm, provides EN 9100-certified SDoT gateways and data diodes designed to secure data exchange between satellites, ground stations, and control centers within space cybersecurity.

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 cybersecurity involves protecting space-based assets such as satellites, ground stations, and data links from cyber threats, unauthorized access, and digital attacks. It focuses on securing communications, control systems, and mission-critical data. The primary goal is to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of space systems and operations against cyber disruptions.

The main components of space cybersecurity include solutions and services. Solutions consist of technologies designed to safeguard space systems like satellites and ground stations by securing networks, data, applications, and user access from cyber threats. These solutions are categorized by platform into satellites, launch vehicles, ground stations, spaceports and launch facilities, command and control centers, and others. Their applications cover satellite communications, earth observation, navigation, space exploration, and more. End users include government and military sectors, as well as the commercial space industry.
