Euroconsult has released their highly anticipated “Government Space Programs” report for 2021. The highlight of this year’s findings is a continued, even accelerated, volume of governmental investment in the space sector, driven by two major drivers: ambitious space exploration programs by leading space countries and rivalries driving the militarization of space.
Euroconsult’s “Government Space Programs” flagship market intelligence report draws on 36 years of experience to provide readers with unrivaled insight into the prevailing strategic space trends
among governments.
Despite a year of uncertainty, the space sector has received record government investment totaling over $92 billion, an 8% increase compared to 2020. Civilian space budgets, totaling $53 billion in 2021, continue to receive more funding than defense space programs, at 58% of total spending, though the share going to defense, $39 billion in 2021, is increasing.
Geopolitical tensions, increasing rivalry between leading space powers and the value of space as the ultimate high ground drive the militarization of space trend, with leaders increasing their investments in defense space assets and technologies.
