Astronaut Spacesuit Market by Type (IVA Suits and EVA Suits), Design (Soft-suit, Hard-shell Suit, Skin-tight Suit, Hybrid Suit), and Application (Intravehicular Activity (IVA) and Extravehicular Activity (EVA)): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021–2027

Astronaut Spacesuit Market Outlook – 2027

A spacesuit is a garment worn by astronauts to protect them from the extreme environment in space. The harmful radiations in space can affect the human body and cause hypothermia and heat strokes. It protects the astronauts from the sun’s ultraviolet rays and maintains the exact air pressure and atmospheric environment for respiration. Spacesuits play a vital role while traveling in adverse weather conditions where the oxygen level is very low. The spacesuit is composed of ortho-fabric, neoprene-coated nylon, aluminized mylar, urethane-coated nylon, high-strength composite materials, and stainless steel. Growth in space exploration missions and increase in awareness of space programs are the factors anticipated to boost the growth of the astronaut spacesuit market during the forecast period.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis: 

• The production for astronaut spacesuit market is anticipated to boost after the end of COVID-19.
• The supply chain disruption is expected to affect the future growth of the companies due to lockdown, followed by restrictions in global trade.
• The revenue is not being generated for the companies due to the ongoing pandemic, which will result in major losses across the year.
• Companies have to deal on a significant margin basis to revive the market.
• A current halt in the space exploration programs has adversely impacted the revenue generation, stagnating the pace of expected growth for global astronaut spacesuit companies.

Top Impacting Factors: Market Scenario Analysis, Trends, Drivers and Impact Analysis

Rise in trend of commercial space travel, development of multipurpose spacesuits, and wearable technology drives the demand for a spacesuit. Furthermore, the accelerating pace of space exploration missions is proliferating the manufacturing and demand for spacesuits for extravehicular activities, involving larger participation of the regional as well as international companies. In addition, many countries across the globe are increasing their investments in deep space human exploration programs. Moreover, incorporation of technology for the development of new-generation spacesuits with advanced materials for low weight and enhanced mobility is proliferating the growth of the global astronaut spacesuit market which in turn is anticipated to generate sufficient demand during the forecast period. 

The global astronaut spacesuit market trends are as follows:

Rise in extravehicular activities 

The extravehicular activities are generally the activities for planetary exploration, such as spacewalks, repairing satellites, and other external activities on the space station. The extravehicular mobility unit (EMU) suits provide environmental protections, mobility, communications, and life support for astronauts. Many countries across the globe are increasing their space programs. Moreover, space research institutions such as NASA have started launching many missions on the moon, Mars, and other planets. For these extravehicular activities, specific EVA suits are required. In addition, the consistent improvements in astronaut spacesuits are anticipated to boost the growth of the global astronaut spacesuit market over the next decade. 

Increase in investment for space exploration missions

Countries across the globe are increasing their investment in space exploration missions. Region-wise, Asia-Pacific, and European segments are anticipated to boost the growth of the global markets, owing to an increase in space exploration missions and programs. Moreover, the newer generation space suits are light-weighted with enhanced mobility, therefore render better comfort and safety to the astronauts. Also space programs imply the strength of countries in the aeronautics segment leading to an upsurge in investment, providing opportunities to leading market players to boost production. These spacesuits consist of wearables, urine collection transfer assembly, a pharmaceutical support assembly, and an air pressure control helmet. In addition, the spacesuits protect astronauts from the harsh conditions of space, such as micrometeorites and extreme temperature change.
