Reusable Launch Vehicle Market Expected to Reach $3.56 Billion by 2035—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Reusable Launch Vehicle Market," The reusable launch vehicle market is expected to be valued at $1.38 billion in 2025, and is projected to reach $3.56 billion by 2035, growing at a CAGR of 10.3% from 2026 to 2035.

In 2025, North America is expected to dominate the market, in terms of revenue, followed by Asia-Pacific, Europe, and LAMEA. The global reusable launch vehicle market is projected to expand due to increased innovation, and reduced launch costs and the development of automation technologies during the forecast period. Space launch costs have been reduced by the advancement in rocket technology such as the development of reusable rocket. For instance, in April 2021, SpaceX successfully launched humans into space aboard a reused Falcon 9 rocket. The mission also involved reuse of Dragon spacecraft. Development of reusable rocket technologies has increased the affordability of launch services, which further increases the adoption of carrier rockets across the world.

There are prominent key factors that drive growth of the reusable launch vehicle market, such as rise in space exploration missions from private sector, and increase in government investment in space exploration activities. Moreover, rise in need for launch services from developing countries is also responsible for growth of the market. In addition, rise in the defense budget has enabled governments of various countries to enter into agreements with space launch vehicles manufacturers to deploy government defense payloads such as spy satellites into the space provide an opportunity for the market.
