EU Space market and users
The EU Space market is growing – and growing fast. The EO market is poised for significant growth, with global revenues rising from €3.5 billion in 2024 to €7.9 billion by 2034, driven by a fast growth in segments like agriculture, energy and raw materials, climate and infrastructure. GNSS revenue is set to rise to reach €580 million over 2024–2034, overwhelmingly driven by mass market applications, with tourism and transport taking the lead with 60 and 30 per cent respectively. GNSS-enabled devices are set to increase from 5.8 billion units in 2024 to 9.75 billion units by 2034.
That’s good news for the EU, whose economic recovery and resilience stand to benefit greatly from the market adoption of EU Space technologies. It’s also good news for citizens and businesses, who increasingly rely on space-based data and services.
Helping drive this market growth is EUSPA.
EUSPA serves as the essential link between space technology and user needs – a role that sees it translating the EU’s investment in space into valuable, reliable services for European citizens and companies.
