• Blue Origin
• SpaceX
• Virgin Galactic
• Boeing
• Axiom Space, Inc.

Regional Insights From The Report

This report also aims to provide a regional look at the space travel and tourism industry. North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, South America, and the Middle East & Africa all have their own dedicated sections within the report, which also outlines a lot of uncertainty due to economic recession in many areas of the world.

With 16% growth predicted globally in spite of economic uncertainty, the report paints the industry in a positive light, with plenty of justification.

The Space Travel Market has huge demand from major applications industries, plus factors including “global economic expansion, rapid urbanisation, growing middle-class population and the increased spending capacity of consumers” are also predicted to assist the industry in its growth in the years up to 2028.

The data shows that global economic output topped 100 trillion USD in 2022 with five economies leading the way, the USA, China, UK, Germany, and Japan accounted for more than half of this economic impact.

The UK’s Impact

As outlined in the report, the UK is one example of a growth region in the industry, and the building of SaxaVord and Spaceport Cornwall have helped to turn the United Kingdom into a viable location for space tourism operations.

An ADS report shows that the whole of the UK space sector directly employs 47,000 people in the UK, and predicts growth for the whole industry, including tourism.

Sierra Space have created Dream Chaser, the spaceplane promising “private space travel for all” and the company recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Spaceport Cornwall after the port was recognised as a viable place for operations. 

With companies from other countries now planning to use the UK for launches, the UK is finally “on the map” when it comes to space tourism.
