Artificial Gravity Systems Market Report 2025

The artificial gravity systems market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.22 billion in 2024 to $1.44 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.3%. The growth during the historic period was driven by increased investment in human spaceflight programs, rising government funding for space research, higher demand for long-duration orbital missions, strengthened defense-related space initiatives, and a growing focus on astronaut health and safety.

The artificial gravity systems market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.79 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.9%. The growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by rising demand for crewed deep-space exploration missions, expanding space tourism initiatives, increased interest in establishing permanent space habitats, strengthened international collaboration on planetary exploration, and growing investment in advanced space station projects. Key trends anticipated during this period include the miniaturization of artificial gravity components, integration of adaptive rotational control systems, improvements in the energy efficiency of gravity-generation mechanisms, development of modular and scalable system architectures, and enhancement of real-time monitoring and control capabilities.

Rising investments in space exploration are expected to drive the growth of the artificial gravity systems market. Space exploration involves the scientific and technical study of outer space through crewed and uncrewed spacecraft to understand celestial bodies and phenomena beyond Earth’s atmosphere. These investments are motivated in part by national security interests, as countries aim to strengthen space-based defense systems, safeguard critical satellites, and maintain strategic advantages. Increased funding accelerates the research, development, and deployment of artificial gravity systems, enabling viable solutions for long-duration human space missions. For example, in June 2024, New Zealand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade reported that the UK committed approximately USD 12.5 billion (£10 billion) to space programs over ten years starting in 2023, with around USD 3.75 billion (£3 billion) allocated in the 2023 spending review. This growing financial support is a key driver of the artificial gravity systems market.

Leading companies in the artificial gravity systems market are developing innovative solutions like centrifugal force-based habitation modules to support long-term human spaceflight. These rotating modules generate artificial gravity through centrifugal force, helping astronauts prevent health issues such as muscle atrophy and bone loss during extended missions. For example, in September 2022, US-based aerospace company Vast Space LLC launched a mission to develop the world’s first artificial-gravity space stations. The initiative focuses on creating scalable orbital habitats that allow humans to live and work in space for long durations without the harmful effects of microgravity. Vast’s first project, Haven-1, is planned as the world’s first commercial space station with a launch targeted for 2026, followed by larger platforms such as Haven-2, intended as a successor to the International Space Station. Through this mission, Vast aims to promote sustainable human habitation in orbit, support commercial and scientific activities in microgravity, and lay the groundwork for expanding human presence across the solar system.

In June 2023, NASA, the US-based governmental space agency, partnered with Vast Space LLC to accelerate the development and deployment of advanced space station technologies. The collaboration focuses on developing key technologies and operations for commercial microgravity and artificial gravity space stations, including Haven-1 and future crewed missions. By leveraging NASA’s expertise, data resources, and facilities, the partnership aims to drive innovation, enhance safety and efficiency, and support the long-term goal of sustainable human habitation in space. Vast Space LLC, a US-based aerospace company, specializes in the design and manufacture of artificial gravity space stations.

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.

Artificial gravity systems are technologies developed to replicate the effects of gravity in environments where it is weak or absent, such as outer space. They generally function through rotation or linear acceleration, producing a force that mimics gravitational pull and helps counter the negative effects of prolonged weightlessness by supporting physical health and spatial orientation.

The primary components of artificial gravity systems include rotating habitats, tether systems, control systems, and power systems. Rotating habitats are spacecraft or station modules designed to spin, generating centrifugal force that simulates gravity for occupants. These systems employ methods such as centrifugal force, linear acceleration, and electromagnetic force, and are utilized in applications ranging from space stations and spacecraft to space tourism and military or defense purposes. They cater to end-users such as government agencies, commercial enterprises, and research institutions.
