Space Lander and Rover Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increase in investments for space explorations across the globe is notably driving the space lander and rover market growth, although factors such as high costs involved in space exploration missions may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the space lander and rover industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Space Lander and Rover Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the space lander and rover market is the increase in investments for space explorations across the globe. Rovers are essential equipment for space exploration. Several governments throughout the world are engaged in space exploration missions to discover the presence of water, precious elements, and other compounds on planets. In recent years, governments in major countries, such as the US, China, Russia, France, and Japan, have supported space programs worth billions of dollars. For instance, on July 30, 2020, NASA began its Mars 2020 mission, which involved the employment of the Perseverance rover. Similarly, on July 23, 2020, China launched Tianwen-1, which comprises an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. These rovers aid in the detection of life on Mars, the preservation of biosignatures within existing geological resources, and the identification of minerals and different types of rocks on Mars' surface. The rising investments and the launch of space missions to analyze terrain and study characteristics of soil and rocks are anticipated to propel the growth of the global space lander and rover market.
Key Space Lander and Rover Market Trend
The technological advancements in 3D printing technology is a space lander and rover market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The aerospace industry develops, researches, and manufactures aerial vehicles, such as rockets, spacecraft, rovers, and landers. The growing use of 3D technology in the manufacturing of spaceship components can reduce costs and lead to the production of large, complicated engine components such as combustion chambers. Recent advancements in 3D printing technology have made it a viable tool for producing high endurance and lightweight parts for spacecraft and rovers. For instance, NASA deployed 3D-printed metal parts for its Mars 2020 mission's Perseverance Rover. The Perseverance rover has 11 3D-printed metal components, five of which are on its PIXL device, which will be applied to enhance the rover's search for signs of ancient microbial life using X-rays. Hence, such developments in 3D printing technology will open up more opportunities for more economical space exploration missions. Thus, such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market in focus.
Key Space Lander and Rover Market Challenge
The high costs involved in space exploration missions will be a major challenge for the space lander and rover market during the forecast period. Massive investments are required for space exploration missions to design, test, and launch space equipment. Space vehicles are intended to function in high-temperature and high-pressure environments in space and must be outfitted with cutting-edge communication systems to sustain the continuous connection between the base station and the space probe. Furthermore, because equipment such as robotic arms, sensors, cameras, and solar panels require an error-free and sturdy design to collect physical characteristics and samples on extraterrestrial planets, space rovers suffer enormous expenditures in their construction. Furthermore, launch vehicles that place space rovers in their proper orbits contribute to the overall expenditures of a space research program. Nations such as the US, China, and Japan have supported various space exploration missions in recent years; however, due to the high costs associated with these projects, a large number of nations do not invest in space missions, limiting the global growth of space technologies in underdeveloped countries. Hence, the high cost of space exploration missions is expected to stifle growth in the space lander and rover market
