Rocket Hybrid Propulsion Market Outlook – 2027 

A rocket can be aircraft, spacecraft, missile, or a vehicle which generates thrust. Thrust is generated by propulsion system of the rocket. Rocket engines use three states of propellants: solid, liquid, and hybrid (combination of solid and liquid propellants). Solid rocket engines use solid fuels, generates high thrust, and are more reliable than other propulsion systems. However, solid rocket engines do not have the capability of restart. While liquid rocket engine uses liquid fuel, generates lots of thrust, and are more controllable than solid propellant rockets. However, liquid rocket engines have complex design and thereby having high costs. Hybrid propulsion system in rockets uses both solid & liquid fuel in two different phases. Hybrid rocket engines possess capabilities of both solid & liquid propulsion systems. Hybrid propulsion system have higher impulse than solid propulsion system, however, at the same time, rocket hybrid propulsion system can be throttleable & can be shut down as similar to rocket liquid propulsion. Rockets which are using hybrid propulsion system includes SpaceShipOne and SpaceShipTwo.

Market scope and structure analysis:

COVID-19 Scenario analysis:

• Due to COVID-19 situation, the research & development in hybrid rocket propellants has been hampered due to the declared lockdowns and government restrictions on public gatherings.
• Slowing sign in economies of several countries has been observed due to COVID-19 effect, which may limit governments investment in their space organizations. Such reduction in investment will directly affect growth in rocket hybrid propulsion market.
• Travel restrictions and reduction in military activities due to COVID-19 have also adversely effected growth of rocket hybrid propulsion market, as hybrid propulsion system is also used in seat ejection in aircraft, trucks, fireworks etc.
• There will be a considerable rise in demand in rocket hybrid propulsion market in near future as travel restrictions start loosen up worldwide.

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

Increase in number of space expeditions, high efficiency & technological advancements in rocket propulsion, and rise in commercial applications of the space industry are some of the major factors that drive the growth of the rocket hybrid propulsion system market. However, political insurgencies between nations and lack of measures for disposal of orbital debris are the factors which are restraining the growth of the global rocket hybrid propulsion system market. On the contrary, increase in demand for technological upgradation, maturing technology of reusable rockets, and cost-effective spacecraft launches are anticipated to create a significant demand in the rocket hybrid propulsion market in the future.

Increase in number of space expeditions

Several space agencies of the world are exploring the possibilities of life, material, research, and others in the deep space. Such missions require high manoeuvres from the rocket. Rocket hybrid propulsion have higher impulse rate than solid propulsion and also provide more flexibility in packaging configuration. Moreover, such system can be throttles and restart as needed time-to-time in space. Further, rocket hybrid propulsion is easier to throttle than rocket liquid propulsion. Such features of hybrid propulsion system in rockets has created significant demand in the rocket propulsion market and hence driving the growth of the rocket hybrid system market.
