Carrier Rocket Market Outlook - 2027

A launch vehicle or carrier rocket is a rocket-propelled vehicle used to carry a payload from earth's surface to space, usually to earth orbit or beyond. A launch system includes the launch vehicle, launch pad, vehicle assembly and fueling systems, range safety, and other related infrastructure.

Most launch vehicles have been developed with an objective of national space programs, by national space agencies, with considerable national prestige attached to spaceflight accomplishments. Payloads include crewed spacecraft, satellites, robotic spacecraft, scientific probes, landers, and rovers.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 scenario analysis:

• Global carrier rocket market is one of the most significant market for aerospace sector.
• Due to many benefits for human being and their overall development, global carrier rocket market has robust future potential.
• Many private companies like SpaceX, Boeing, and others have entered commercial space industry and are offering innovative solutions.
• As global economy has impacted drastically due to epidemic, many commercial space companies are also trying to cope up with financial impact due to COVID-19.
• Furthermore, carrier rocket market is dependent on many small vendors and original equipment manufacturers for supply chain.
• However, due to many financial constraints during epidemic, these small vendors work efficiency too has reduced.

Top impacting factors: market scenario analysis, trends, drivers, and impact analysis

Space exploration has several benefits for human beings. Satellites are launched in space with the help of these carrier rocket or launch vehicles. The benefits of space can be categorized as either direct or indirect. The benefits of exploration include the generation of scientific knowledge, the diffusion of innovation and creation of markets, enhancements to the quality of life such as improved economic prosperity, health, environmental quality, safety, and security. 

Moreover, space exploration also give us new insights about creation of universe, telemedicine, satellite & their use by satellite industry for communication purposes, digital education, and many more.

In addition, rising growth in satellite deployment across the globe for weather monitoring, navigation, communication, and remote sensing applications further drive the growth of the carrier rocket market .These satellite launch vehicles or carrier rocket are assisting in carrying spacecraft to space.

Global carrier rocket market Trends are as follows:

Human launch from carrier rocket

SpaceX has become first commercial space company to launch humans for space program. Crew Dragon spacecraft lifted off on a Falcon 9 rocket from the historic Launch Complex 39-A at Cape Canaveral in Florida. Crew Dragon is the first-ever private human vehicle to head for orbit.

The Commercial Crew Development (CCDev) program which is aim to replace the shuttle with privately-built spacecraft. SpaceX was ultimately contracted, along with Boeing and its Starliner vehicle, to build new spacecraft for NASA. They received $2.6 billion and $4.2 billion in funding respectively.

The company also planning to use Crew Dragon to launch paying customers into space. This could include space tourists hoping to visit the space station, or other destinations – such as orbiting space hotels – at a cost of $20 million per seat.

NASA's space shuttle was the world's first reusable spacecraft. It launched like a rocket and returned to Earth like a glider. It was designed to carry large payloads — such as satellites — into orbit and bring them back, if necessary, for repairs.

Reusable launch vehicles

In addition of NASA, many commercial space companies like Boeing, Lockheed martin and the SpaceX are emphasizing reusable launch vehicles. 

SpaceX reusable launch system development program is a privately funded program to develop a set of new technologies for an orbital launch system that may be reused many times in a manner similar to the reusability of aircraft. SpaceX has been developing the technologies over several years to facilitate full and rapid reusability of space launch vehicles. The project's long-term objectives include returning a launch vehicle first stage to the launch site in minutes and to return a second stage to the launch pad following orbital realignment with the launch site and atmospheric re-entry in up to 24 hours.

The SpaceX has launched falcon heavy in 2018. The Falcon Heavy is a partially reusable heavy-lift launch vehicle designed and manufactured by SpaceX. It is derived from the Falcon 9 vehicle and consists of a strengthened Falcon 9 first stage as the center core with two additional Falcon 9-like first stages as strap-on boosters.

The Falcon Heavy has the highest payload capacity of any currently operational launch vehicle, the second-highest capacity of any rocket ever to reach orbit, trailing the Saturn V, and the third-highest capacity of any orbital-class rocket ever launched successfully.
