Rocket Vibration Monitoring Market Report 2025

The rocket vibration monitoring market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.39 billion in 2024 to $2.62 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to a higher frequency of satellite launches, an increase in defense and military rocket operations, greater adoption of structural health monitoring, the expansion of commercial space missions, and increased investments in aerospace infrastructure.

The rocket vibration monitoring market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.7 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is driven by an increased emphasis on crewed space missions, greater deployment of reusable rockets, a rising demand for real-time launch diagnostics, the expansion of private space exploration companies, and the growing adoption of lightweight launch systems. Key trends expected during this period include technological progress in sensor integration, innovations in wireless vibration monitoring systems, increased investment in research and development, the creation of compact data acquisition units, and advancements in predictive maintenance software.

The rising number of rocket launches is anticipated to drive growth in the rocket vibration monitoring market. Rocket launches involve sending vehicles carrying payloads such as satellites, probes, or cargo into space. This increase in launches is mainly due to growing demand for satellite deployment by governments and private firms for uses including communication, Earth observation, navigation, and scientific research. Rocket vibration monitoring plays a crucial role by continuously tracking and analyzing structural vibrations, ensuring the launch vehicle’s safety, stability, and optimal performance during ascent, while allowing early detection of any anomalies that could jeopardize the mission. For example, a report by the Space Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit, indicated that orbital launch attempts rose by 16% in 2024, reaching 259 launches - averaging one launch every 34 hours, which is five hours more frequent than in 2023. This growth in launch activity is thus driving the expansion of the rocket vibration monitoring market.

Key players in the rocket vibration monitoring market are concentrating on adopting advanced technologies such as MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) vibration control to improve test accuracy and better simulate actual launch environments. MIMO vibration control systems utilize multiple sensors and actuators simultaneously to manage and measure vibrations at various points on a test object. This technology enhances the precision and realism of vibration testing by accurately replicating complex launch conditions, which is vital for validating the structural integrity of rockets and spacecraft. In December 2022, ETS Solutions Asia Pte Ltd, a Singapore-based industrial machinery manufacturer, introduced a 700kN electrodynamic vibration test system with dual 350kN shakers and sophisticated MIMO vibration control. This system was used to test the CZ-5 rocket’s instrument module, enabling precise evaluation of its structural performance under realistic launch vibrations, thereby increasing mission reliability and reducing the likelihood of failure during spaceflight.

In September 2022, Parker Hannifin Corporation, a U.S.-based manufacturer, acquired Meggitt PLC for approximately $6.3 billion. This acquisition aimed to strengthen Parker Hannifin’s aerospace and defense capabilities by integrating Meggitt’s complementary technologies, expanding aftermarket revenue, and leveraging growth opportunities from commercial aerospace recovery, fleet modernization, and advancements in electrification and low-carbon technologies. Meggitt PLC, based in the UK, specializes in rocket vibration monitoring and aerospace sensing solutions.

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.

Rocket vibration monitoring refers to the process of observing and analyzing vibrations experienced during a rocket’s launch, flight, or testing stages. This process is crucial for identifying structural stress, mechanical imbalances, or unforeseen forces, ultimately enhancing the safety, efficiency, and reliability of rocket systems.

The key components involved in rocket vibration monitoring include sensors, software, and services. Sensors are electronic instruments that detect variations in physical conditions and transmit this information to monitoring or control systems. These sensors are employed in a range of applications, including launch vehicles, satellites, space probes, and other spacecraft. They serve various end users, such as commercial companies, military bodies, government agencies, and research institutions.
