The market is driven by the reduction in associative launch cost. Several companies that offer launch services for satellites are investing in R&D to develop cost-effective launch systems. Also, the highly competitive nature of the satellite industry is resulting in a decrease in the cost of launching satellites. For instance, before the release of the Ariane 6 rocket in 2020, Arianespace, which is a part of ArianeGroup, has decided to decrease its satellite launch fee by 40% to compete with SpaceX. The decision was a strategic move as the company was contending for two major launch contracts in APAC, which were scheduled for release in 2019. Besides, the advent of reusable satellite launch vehicles such as the Falcon 9, which is offered by SpaceX, is also decreasing the total cost of satellite launches. As a result of these factors, the size of the global satellite manufacturing and launch market is expected to increase over the forecast period. yahoo! news
