2025年太空经济的发展及其对各行各业的影响研究报告：企业需把握新机遇

Space for growth Why every company has a stake in the new space economy For millennia, humans have looked to the stars forinspiration and to dream of new possibilities. Today,those possibilities are both real and within reach— for every business. The fast-developing spaceeconomy — the activities and resources that createand provide value to human beings exploring,understanding, managing and utilizing space1— isthe next frontier, creating new levels of insight intoglobal conditions and markets that can changehow businesses in all industries operate, boostingtheir growth and resilience. In many ways, a space-based future is already here.When we check our weather app or plan a trip,we’re using space-based technologies. Companiesthat are integrating space-based technologies (seesidebar) into their businesses today are alreadytransforming operations and opening up excitingpossibilities here on Earth. Organizations with astrong digital core can take advantage of advancedspace-based capabilities to reinvent operations andachieve faster processes, deeper intelligence andgreater sustainability and resilience. These are justthe beginning. What are space-based technologies? We define space-based technologiesas products and services that harnesssignals and data coming from satellites tosupport areas like telecommunications,maritime navigation, weather forecasting,environmental monitoring and landtraffic management. They also includetechnologies related to space situationalawareness, space exploration and theresearch, development or manufacturingof products and services that use thespace environment (especially zerogravity conditions). Take satellite manufacturing as a proxy for thehyper growth of the space economy. Thousandsof satellites are already in orbit and their numberis set to rise ten- fold by 2030 profitable. Yet we’reonly at the start, as the space economy is set formassive growth. Since 2009, space economyequity investments into over 2,100 companies havereached more than $325 billion and this value isgrowing every year. By 2035, the space economyis predicted to exceed $1.8 trillion3. Space-based technologies are transforming, andwill continue to transform, day-to-day businessoperations on Earth. Advanced informationgathering, speed of data sharing, real-timeanalytics, seamless global communication— and more — can make processes quicker, moreintelligent and more efficient. Many more advancedcapabilities are available or coming soon and theopportunities on offer are open for every business,not just those in high tech industries. But to takeadvantage, they, too, need to take a leap forward. The key message? If your company isn’t usingspace-based technologies for growth andcompetitive advantage, it needs to start now,while the window of opportunity is wide.Several barriers, however, may be present.In the companies we spoke with, these includedconcerns about cost, skills gaps and the lack ofavailable infrastructure to integrate space-basedtechnologies. Not attending to these concernscan stall technology implementation in pilot stagesand prevent value-creating breakthroughs. To overcome these barriers and successfullyintegrate space-based technologies,we recommend three key actions: 1.Break free from the endless cycle of pilotprojectsby developing a comprehensive visionwith concrete actions that include technologyproofs and real-life business cases. 2.Focus talent development on spacetechnologiesto gain an advantage nowversus later. 3.Activate an ecosystem of partnersto help withdeveloping and accessing required skills andinfrastructure as well as sharing the costs ofparticipating in the space economy. Closing the intent-to-action gap Figure 1:Executives see the exciting possibilities in space… “New space-based technologies couldcontribute to the growth and resilience ofindustries in multiple ways, depending on thecharacteristics of each industry.” Access to space-based technologiesvital to company revenue growth Use of space-based technologiesseen as company top differentiator Chief Technology Officer, North American space company Many business leaders grasp the significance of space to theirbusiness’ growth. Our research reveals that more than 80%of executives see space-based technologies as vital drivers ofboth revenue growth and their ability to differentiate (Figure1). But only 18% are moving beyond pilots and using theseadvanced technologies in their daily operations (Figure 2).Those leaders are already realizing the benefits of spacetechnology in functions like IT infrastructure, research anddevelopment, customer service and supply chain.

One such example is a biodiversity development companythat is partnering with space and technology firms to usesatellite imagery to support its business.
