Moreover, governments and private organizations of various regions have a continuous focus on enhancing their services such as climate monitoring systems, navigations, satellite images, communication latency, etc. As a result, they are manufacturing satellites that can provide more accurate and precise results. For instance, in 2024, Apple plans to invest up to USD 1.5 billion in satellite provider Globalstar, an American telecommunications company that operates a constellation in low Earth orbit (LEO), to enhance the space-based communication services in iPhones. This provides space launch service providers an opportunity because they get the contracts to transport these satellites to the desired orbits through their launch vehicles. For instance, in 2024, SpaceX won a contract worth around USD 112.7 million to launch the JPSS-4 satellite, an advanced U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellite that can understand and predict weather changes.

Furthermore, the defense sector of various countries such as; the US, India, Japan, etc., are focusing on advancing their satellite communication networks and surveillance systems. For instance, in 2024, Japan launches a defense satellite to improve the speed of communication and military operations. More such operation is expected to be performed in the future to align with the continuous advancement in technology of communications and navigation. For instance, in 2024, after the incursion of Chinese aircraft into Japan’s boundary, Japan's Ministry of Defense intends to invest approximately USD 2.2 billion in a satellite that can track multiple suspicious aircraft in real-time. Therefore, due to the increasing number of satellites to be launched, space launch service providers are expected to experience high revenue growth in the coming years.
