The Space Economy’s Next Giant Leap

Recent projections by Deloitte suggest that the global space industry, currently valued at approximately $450 billion, could exceed $1.5 trillion by 2030. Over 12,000 companies and about 6,000 investors are now active in this sector, with venture capital investments in space technology reaching $7.5 billion.
