Space Biodiversity Preservation Market Report 2026

The space biodiversity preservation market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $3.34 billion in 2025 to $3.69 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early development of satellite-based biodiversity monitoring systems, advancements in remote sensing technologies for ecological assessment, increased government funding for space-based environmental research, initial experiments on organism adaptation and survival in microgravity environments, rise of geospatial data platforms supporting early conservation planning.

The space biodiversity preservation market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.45 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of satellite constellations dedicated to extraterrestrial ecosystem monitoring, integration of artificial intelligence and spatial analytics for predictive conservation planning, growing investment in long-term space habitat sustainability initiatives, development of advanced environmental monitoring equipment for off-earth ecosystems, increasing collaboration between space agencies and biotech firms for space-adapted species research. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of space-based biodiversity observation missions, rising investment in extraterrestrial genetic resource banks, integration of in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies for space habitats, standardization of space biodiversity data formats and protocols, increased public-private partnerships for long-term off-earth ecosystem preservation.

Rising investments in space missions are contributing to the growth of the space biodiversity preservation market. These missions, conducted beyond Earth’s atmosphere using spacecraft or satellites, are aimed at exploration, research, and technological progress. The surge in funding is driven by the pursuit of advanced technologies that enhance national security, scientific discovery, and economic potential. This increased investment supports space biodiversity preservation by enabling the development of technologies and habitats essential for protecting and studying life in extraterrestrial environments. For example, in March 2024, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), a U.S.-based independent agency, reported that its budget is projected to grow from $25.384 billion in 2024 to $26.4 billion in 2027. As a result, the rising investments in space missions are fostering the expansion of the space biodiversity preservation market.

Leading companies in the space biodiversity preservation sector are concentrating on the development of advanced technologies, such as high-definition hyperspectral cameras, to improve ecosystem monitoring and conservation efforts. These cameras capture data across hundreds to thousands of narrow spectral bands, surpassing traditional RGB and multispectral sensors in capability. In August 2024, Lemu, a technology company based in Chile, launched Lemu Nge, a 6U hyperspectral nanosatellite specifically designed to monitor Earth’s biodiversity. Equipped with a high-definition hyperspectral camera, it delivers over 20 times the resolution of conventional Earth observation satellites, enabling in-depth analysis of vegetation and land cover. Operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), it gathers crucial data on ecosystems, land use, and species distribution, supporting global biodiversity conservation initiatives.

In March 2025, Wyvern, a space data company based in Canada, partnered with Lemu to strengthen environmental monitoring through the use of advanced satellite imagery. This collaboration focuses on developing innovative solutions that allow organizations to utilize high-quality satellite data to enhance sustainability decision-making. The partnership is expected to improve the effectiveness and impact of environmental monitoring and management efforts. Lemu is a nature intelligence company headquartered in Chile.
