Eurospace releases its annual Facts & Figures Report: The European Space Industry in 2022 [Jul/2023]
In July 2023, the trade association of the European Space
Industry, Eurospace, announced the release of the 27th edition of its annual
report on the state of the European space manufacturing industry in 2022.
Eurospace has been publishing the results of its annual
survey since 1996, covering almost 500 entities from the European space
manufacturing and launch industry. The report allows chronological consistency
and comprehensive series.
The report presents European upstream industry sales of €8.2
billion in 2022, a slowdown of €400 million compared to 2021. On the
European upstream employment side, the growth has been sustained in 2022,
reaching a new record of 57,000 FTE (full-time equivalent). The employment
growth is driven by hires in large-, midsized-, and small players.
The Press Release outlines a wide range of economic
indicators notably related to the global context, the launch service markets,
the captive and open markets and details the sales and employment figures for
the European space upstream industry across its four main macro-segments:
satellite applications systems, launcher systems, scientific systems and other
(which includes the ground segment and support).
The Press Release summarising the key findings of the report
is available for download on the Eurospace website here.
