What Is The Projected Market Size & Growth Rate Of The Methane-Based Rocket Propulsion Market?
In recent years, the market size for methane-based rocket propulsion has seen a significant increase. Projected growth estimates that the market will expand from a worth of $2.30 billion in 2024 to approximately $2.66 billion in 2025, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.3%. Several factors have contributed to this growth during the historic period such as the heightened demand for reusable rockets, an increase in space exploration investments, a boost in commercial satellite launches, the expansion of government-backed space programs, as well as a greater emphasis on reducing the cost of launch services.

The market for methane-based rocket propulsion is anticipated to witness a swift escalation over the imminent years, with a projection to attain $4.63 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. This uptick during the forecast period can be ascribed to the increased utilization of methane propulsion for profound space endeavours, amplified private sector capital in space technology, surging requisition for ecologically amicable rocket fuels, proliferation of lunar and mars exploration ventures, and increasing commercialisation of small and medium launch conveyances. Salient trends in the forecast timeline comprise breakthroughs in methane engine blueprint, introductions to fuel efficiency and reserve innovations, progress in reusable methane rocket setups, exploration and advancement in green propulsion, and affiliations amongst government bodies and private corporations.

What Is The Crucial Factor Driving The Global Methane-Based Rocket Propulsion Market?
As the frequency of space exploration missions increases, it's anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the methane-based rocket propulsion market. Space exploration includes both governmental and private activities beyond Earth's atmosphere, such as the deployment of satellites, lunar probes, and expeditions to other planets which utilize advanced propulsion systems. A heightened interest in scientific exploration, pushing the frontiers of knowledge and technology, is resulting in more of these missions. Methane-based rocket propulsion systems are beneficial for space exploration because they offer greater fuel efficiency, allow for engine reusability, cut down on launch costs, and have less environmental impact compared to conventional propellants. For example, the U.S. International Trade Commission, a federal government agency in the United States, reported that there was an increase in global space launches from 186 in 2022 to 197 in 2023 in November 2023. As a result, the surge in space exploration missions is propelling the development of the methane-based rocket propulsion market.

What Are The Key Trends Shaping The Methane-Based Rocket Propulsion Industry?
Leading enterprises in the methane-based rocket propulsion market are prioritizing the creation of cutting-edge products like methalox engines. The intention is to enhance performance, limit environmental damage, and decrease operating expenses of orbital-class launch vehicles. A methalox engine, which uses liquid methane as fuel and liquid oxygen as an oxidizer, is a variant of liquid bipropellant rocket engine and offers higher efficiency, cleaner combustion, and greater reusability than conventional rocket fuels. For example, in July 2023, LandSpace Technology Corporation, hailing from China in the private space industry, accomplished the launch of the Zhuque-2 rocket, powered by methalox engines. This system represents the next era of rockets, incorporating four TQ-12 methalox engines in the initial stage and an optimized mix of one TQ-12 and one TQ-11 vernier engine in the subsequent stage.
