The nano and microsatellites are the miniature forms of satellites with a wet mass of 1-10 kg for nanosatellites and 10-100 kg for microsatellite. Market Research Future (MRFR) has recently published a report asserting that the global nano and microsatellites market will expand at a robust CAGR of 23% during the forecast period of 2018-2023

Market Drivers and Restraints:

The rapid advancement in technology and innovation in miniaturization of devices are some of the major factors driving the global nano and microsatellites market. The widespread application of nano and microsatellites for commercial, scientific,military and defense is fueling the expansion of the global nano and microsatellites market. The increasing necessity for reliable communication infrastructure and increased usage of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) in military and defense industry are positively impacting the growth of the global nano and microsatellites market.

The application of nano and microsatellites for scientific and earth observation/remote sensing purposes in various research organizations, for communication, surveillance, and navigation, is inducing demand for these satellites, leading to the growth of the global nano and microsatellites market. The advantages of nano and microsatellites such as low manufacturing and launching cost, increased capability of carrying out complex military missions due to their compressed size, and more manageable proportions are driving the global nano and microsatellites market to higher verticals.

The increased demand for nano and microsatellites for geological research that includes satellite imaging and use of constellations of these satellites to provide enhanced accuracy of global positioning system for direct air travel are driving the global nano and microsatellites market. The increasing support from the government in order to incentivize the developments in space-based remote sensing industry.

However, the drawbacks of nano and microsatellites such as lack of deorbiting system due to the size and weight constraint and presence of a large number of satellites currently in orbit are likely to act as a restraint on the expansion of the global nano and microsatellites market.
