Future Perspectives: Key Trends Shaping the Orbital Infrastructure Market up to 2030

The orbital infrastructure sector is rapidly gaining attention as space activities expand and new technological advancements emerge. This market is set to play a crucial role in supporting the growing space economy, satellite operations, and innovative orbital services. Let's explore the market's size, key players, prevailing trends, and segmentation to understand its future trajectory.

Projected Growth and Market Size of the Orbital Infrastructure Market
The orbital infrastructure market is poised for substantial expansion in the coming years. By 2030, its value is anticipated to reach $23.32 billion, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%. This growth is driven by several factors, including the increasing use of high-speed satellite broadband that broadens global digital connectivity, the integration of cybersecurity measures to protect orbital networks, and rising demand for robust infrastructure to support the emerging activities of the space economy. Additionally, the deployment of large satellite constellations necessitates extensive support systems and materials. Rapid innovations in orbital construction technologies, particularly modular and scalable designs, also contribute significantly. Key trends shaping this market include the expansion of low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, increasing need for multi-orbit ground station compatibility, adoption of reusable orbital servicing and refueling systems, heightened investment in space debris mitigation initiatives, and a surge in commercial space exploration as well as in-orbit manufacturing.

Emerging Trends Transforming the Orbital Infrastructure Industry
Leading companies in the orbital infrastructure sector are increasingly focusing on developing advanced technological solutions such as AI labs in space. These labs are designed to enable autonomous scientific research, improve satellite operations, and facilitate real-time data processing and decision-making directly in orbit. An AI lab in space typically operates as a research and computing platform hosted on satellites, space stations, or other orbital platforms, specifically built to develop, test, and deploy artificial intelligence technologies within the challenging space environment.
For example, in November 2024, TM2Space Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an aerospace company based in India, launched the My Orbital Infrastructure-Technology Demonstrator (MOI-TD), which serves as an AI lab in space. This lab is engineered to perform autonomous experiments in microgravity conditions using advanced radiation-hardened systems to maintain reliability in deep-space environments. The MOI-TD is equipped with state-of-the-art hardware including reaction wheels, magnetometers, an AI accelerator, and a sophisticated onboard computer, all shielded against radiation. It also features flexible solar cells that provide power, laying the groundwork for future sustainable space-based data centers by enabling efficient in-orbit data processing with minimal latency and transmission costs.
