The US space market plays a vital role in the security and national defense of the country and provides useful information for a variety of applications. Space companies face intense competition amongst themselves as well as from new entrants to the market. The space industry is growing at a rapid pace, and competition has enabled lower costs and allowed new entrants to compete with innovative products and services that threaten traditional company revenue and market position. Owing to rapid changes, earlier business models are not as useful in this new space era. If companies want to stay competitive, they need to adopt a new business model and deliver new products and services that will allow them to maintain their market position and increase revenue. This Frost & Sullivan analytics examines and evaluates leading US space companies in the industry, highlighting their strengths, weaknesses, threats, and opportunities to provide a comprehensive outline of growth opportunities. This point-based assessment covers each company’s business strategy, products and services, major programs, and revenue (2016–2021) relevant to future growth opportunities.
