COVID-19 IMPACT

"Space Industry Had a negative Effect Due to Supply Chain Disruptions during COVID-19 Pandemic"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Increased pandemic injuries in their midst, and supply shortages and lockdowns caused the delay of space missions and satellite launches. Numerous production facilities were on half production thus failing to produce and integrate the satellites that facilitated the production.
