Market Definition
Asteroid mining is the process of extraction of minerals and other raw materials, such as aluminum, manganese, iron, silver, gold, rhodium, nickel, and cobalt, from minor asteroids and planets in the outer space. It contributes to a viable environment because minerals mined in space are used as construction materials or rocket propellants. It is mainly performed in the asteroids to decrease the price of transporting minerals into the orbit of the Earth. Furthermore, it allows the large-scale exploration of platinum and water for use in the growing economy.
Asteroid Mining Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing adoption of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) practice
The increasing adoption of In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) practice in the space exploration, which aids store, collect, process, and use resources found on asteroids, is positively influencing the demand for the asteroid mining and expected to drive the growth rate asteroid mining market during the forecast period.
- Growing demand for spacecraft
The spacecraft is an automobile that is formed to fly with crew or without any crew in outer space. These spacecraft are used for numerous purposes, such as navigation, communication, observation, and transportation. This design plays a significant role in asteroid mining missions. Therefore, the major companies are investing in spacecraft design for improvement and for asteroid mining missions which are anticipated to drive the growth rate.
Opportunity
- Government initiatives will emerge as an opportunity
Today, government initiatives are helping in the growth of the asteroid mining market. Governments are issuing some licenses to conduct space or asteroid related activities, and some economies are applying new rules and regulations for asteroid mining. The Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act which has enacted by the U.S. in 2015, boosts the private sector to undertake mining work beyond Earth. Moreover, in 2020, the United States administration creates some new rules through a management order which is following the 2015 law change for how the businesses may revenue from operations on the asteroids, moon, and other planets. This administration also plans to boost other markets to adopt new U.S. perceptions of asteroid mining.
Restraints
- Multiple issues associated with asteroid mining
High prices associated with prospecting missions and asteroid mining which is anticipated to obstruct the growth of the asteroid mining market. Furthermore, issues with space mining activities and landing a spacecraft on asteroids creating environmental issues that affect both earth and space which are projected to challenge the growth of the asteroid mining market in the forecast period of 2023-2030.
