Why Electric Propulsion Matters

Unlike traditional chemical propulsion, electric propulsion uses ionized particles accelerated by electric or magnetic fields to create thrust. While the force generated is smaller, the efficiency is unmatched-delivering higher specific impulse and significantly reducing the amount of propellant needed.

This efficiency has multiple benefits:

Extended Mission Lifespans - Satellites can operate longer with less fuel.

Lower Launch Mass - Reduced fuel requirements mean lighter satellites, lowering launch costs.

Flexible Maneuvering - Electric thrusters provide precision control for orbit raising, station-keeping, and deorbiting.

Sustainability in Space - With debris management becoming a global priority, EP systems help satellites responsibly deorbit at end-of-life.

These advantages are driving adoption across commercial, defense, and government missions.

Market Segmentation: The Building Blocks of Growth

By Propulsion Type

Electric Propulsion dominates today, valued at over USD 1.18 billion in 2023, and expected to nearly double by 2032.

Chemical Propulsion continues to play a role but is growing more slowly.

Hybrid Propulsion, combining electric and chemical systems, is gaining attention for missions that need both high-thrust orbit raising and efficient long-term maneuvering.

By Application

Telecommunications - Ensuring high-performance broadband and communication services.
