What Are the Leading Drivers Behind the Growth of the Free Space Optic Communication Market?
The increasing demand for space explorations is expected to propel the growth of the free space optic communication market going forward. Space exploration refers to investigating and exploring outer space using spacecraft and technology. The rising demand for space explorations is due to scientific discovery, improved propulsion systems, and advancements in materials science. The free space optic communication technology revolutionizes space exploration by overcoming the limitations of traditional communication methods, enabling faster, more reliable, and more secure communication across vast distances in space. Its adoption enhances mission capabilities, supports scientific discovery, and paves the way for future exploration beyond Earth's orbit. For instance, according to Our World in Data (OWID), a US-based Scientific online publication focusing on global problems, the global annual number of objects launched into space (including satellites, probes, landers, crewed spacecraft, and space station flight elements launched into Earth orbit or beyond) increased from 2,478 in 2022 to 2,664 in 2023. Therefore, increasing demand for space explorations drives the free space optic communication market.
