Space Insurance Market Size Forecast: How Large Could The Market Become By 2030?
The space insurance market is projected to experience robust expansion over the coming years, with its size anticipated to reach $6.23 billion by 2030, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. This growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors: the rising deployment of mega-constellations, which increases overall insurance exposure; a growing demand for customized insurance products tailored for on-orbit servicing and refueling missions; the development of advanced actuarial models that incorporate space debris and collision risks; increasing participation from private insurers and reinsurers in high-value space risk portfolios; and the expansion of insurance coverage to include lunar and deep space mission activities. Furthermore, major trends anticipated in this period include an escalating demand for comprehensive in-orbit risk coverage, the development of more insurance products specifically for mega-constellations, a heightened focus on debris-related liability insurance, the extension of insurance solutions for commercial human spaceflight, and a greater adoption of modular and customizable satellite insurance packages.
The increasing volume of satellite launches is anticipated to drive the expansion of the space insurance market in the future. A satellite launch involves deploying a satellite into Earth’s orbit or space using a rocket or launch vehicle. This increase in satellite launches stems from the growing deployment of satellites by both companies and governments, aiming to satisfy the escalating demand for global high-speed internet connectivity. Space insurance protects satellite launches by providing coverage for losses resulting from launch failures, operational problems, or damage during deployment. It offers financial security, assisting investors in mitigating risks associated with costly space endeavors. For instance, as reported by the Satellite Industry Association, a US-based non-profit trade association, it was noted in May 2025 that in 2024, a total of 259 launches occurred, including 224 commercially procured. These activities drove global commercial launch revenues up to $9.3 billion, which was a 30% increase compared with 2023. Consequently, the rising number of satellite launches is propelling the growth of the space insurance market.
