Radiation-tolerant segment is expected to witness the fastest growth
The radiation-tolerant segment is witnessing the fastest growth rate during the projected period. Growing demand for smaller-size satellites, rising prevalence of COTS (Commercial off the Shelf), and reduction in satellite launch costs from various commercial space companies globally are key factors fueling the growth of the segment market. Increasing numbers of product launches by key market companies to cater the growing demand from various industries. For instance, in April 2022, Microchip Technology Inc. announced its new commercial off-the-staff TR SuperFlash devices which have applications related to aerospace and defense applications.
Furthermore, the radiation-hardened segment holds a significant market revenue share in 2021 and is likely to maintain its position throughout the forecast period on account of the increasing need for intensification in broader and throughput variations. These devices allow the users of satellites to modify their scope accordingly while in orbit, which helps to reduce the reconfiguration cost. In addition, major market companies operating in the market are implementing the development activities of innovative software-defined, radiation-hardened components, which are expected to foster the adoption and growth of the market significantly over the coming years.
Satellite segment held the largest market revenue share in 2021
In 2021, the satellite segment dominated the global market and is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period. The growth of the segment market is mainly driven by the increasing adoption of satellites in modern communication technologies and the high development of miniature hardware systems. In the last few years, there has been an extensive rise in the number of activities related to small satellites, due to technology breakthroughs, rising private investments, and growing industry commercialization, which helps small satellites to achieve orbit control and attitude, end-of-life deorbiting, and orbital transfers. Moreover, significant growth in the NewSpace industry has resulted in higher use of various modular components such as miniaturized rad-hard MOSFETs, DC-DC converters, gate drivers, and SS relays are likely to be key factors driving the industry at a considerable growth rate over the anticipated period.
Integrated circuits segment accounted for the highest market share
The integrated circuits accounted for a significant global market share owing to the growing demand for electronic components which are smaller in size and more-lighter in weight and consume low energy as compared to others. Integrated circuits are mainly used for battery-operated devices that have small power capacity. Since the integration of various types of functions into a single chip enables to use of space and system power more efficiently. Several functions frequently integrated into PMICs include voltage converters, regulators, LED drivers, real-time clocks, power sequencers, battery chargers, and power control, which is fueling the adoption of integrated circuits across the globe.
In addition, the discrete semiconductors segment is projected to gain a high growth rate throughout the anticipated period. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising prevalence of MOSFETs and IGBTs in electronics and the high demand for wireless and portable electronic components coupled with the rising efforts on development activities by public and private companies worldwide. For instance, in November 2021, Texas Instruments announced its plan to start the construction of its 300-millimeter semiconductor wafer fabrication plant in Sherman. Production from the latest new fab is estimated as soon as 2025.
North America region dominated the global market in 2021
The North American region dominated the market and is expected to retain its position over the forecast period due to high investment by the United States government in advanced space electronics for the enhancement of quality and effectiveness of deep space exploration and satellite communication. In addition, the modernization of current existing communications in military platforms, law enforcement agencies, and critical infrastructure are other key factors anticipated to drive the growth of the space electronics market in the region.
Furthermore, Asia Pacific region is expected to contribute significantly to the market growth over the study period. High adoption of advanced technologies, rising number of companies dealing with space electronics components, and rising government efforts to enhance aerospace and defense sectors, especially in countries like India, China, and Russia are major key factors expected to boost the growth and adoption of the space electronics market in the region extensively in the coming years.
