1. Reasons for Interest in the Space Business The space business is expanding, driven by lower launch costs and the miniaturization of satellites, which has accelerated private sector participation. The applications for satellites have broadened to include communications, positioning, and observation, establishing the sector as a promising investment area. The market was valued at 612.6 billion USD (approximately 97 trillion yen) in 2024 and is projected to grow by approximately 4.5 times by 2040. This high growth potential is the primary driver of investor interest. In April 2026, news of SpaceX's IPO application with the SEC garnered significant attention. Domestically, the Japanese government's prioritization of the space sector for growth has further bolstered market interest.
