Space Mining Market Size & Analysis – Forecasts To 2025

Space Mining Market Insights

The global space mining market is projected to grow exponentially over the forecast period. The market growth is expected to be positively influenced by growing traces of metals, water, and fuel among others in the space, and the growing emphasis of government on carrying out several space situational awareness programs.

Space mining is projected to breathe in new opportunities particularly in Middle East & Africa over the next few years. Space has ample water and metal resources which is further likely to enable large-scale exploration, thereby creating new avenues for market growth. However, the process is still in prototype stage, and is yet to be implemented.

The market growth is also attributed to increasing R&D investments by the large players to deploy space mining processes. Moreover, companies are projected to indulge in mergers, collaboration, and partnership to make most use of technology, which is further projected to propel the market growth.

Space Mining Market: Process Insights

On the basis of process, the global space mining market is segmented into surface, shafts, magnet, mond, and optical mining among others. The demand for mining through a magnetic rake is projected to grow at a considerable rate over the coming years due to the benefits associated with it. The use of magnetic rakes for space mining eliminates the need for digging mines in order to extract the precious metals. Instead, the process is carried out by efficiently by placing a magnet on each prong on the rake, to attract precious metals in low gravity.
