Expendable Launch Vehicle Market Outlook – 2027
An expendable launch vehicle consists of a launching system that can only be launched once. After the launch, its components are discarded in the space or are destroyed on re-entry. The expendable launch vehicle consists of various rockets, which sequentially get discarded as and when the fuel gets exhausted while the vehicle gains speed and altitude. In addition, most satellites and many human spacecraft are launched on expendable launch vehicles. As such, expendable launch systems are simpler in design than other launch systems and therefore have a lower cost of production. Moreover, expendable launch vehicles are highly fuel-efficient as they utilize the entire fuel supply to accelerate the payload.
COVID-19 scenario analysis
- Expendable launch vehicle production is going to be more agile after the end of COVID-19.
- Owing to the lockdown implemented across various countries, national and international transport have been hampered, which has significantly impacted the supply chain of expendable launch vehicle across the globe, thereby increasing the supply–demand gap.
- Thus, insufficiency in raw material supply is expected to hamper the production rate of expendable launch vehicle, which negatively impacts the market growth.
- However, this situation is expected to improve as government has started relaxing norms around the world for resuming business activities.
