Space electronics growth: market trends and patent views

In recent years, the number of earthly satellites has been growing rapidly due to many practical applications, including TV, mobile communications and remote sensing of the Earth’s surface. Electronics Space refers to electronic tools and components specially designed for use in spacecraft such as satellites, missiles and space investigations. These systems must be designed and manufactured to work reliably in the harsh conditions of the space, which include maximum temperatures, exposure to radiation, and a vacuum environment. I will explore these aspects in my article – and of course, I will also cover the patent aspect of things.

Electronics for the orbit

The main types of space electronics include radiation -resistant ingredients. Radiation resistance means the design of electronics and components that can work on large levels of ionized radiation. Examples include accurate processors, console, sensors, application circuits for the application (ASIC), memory chips, and power supply cables.

In February 2025, the 2025 space electronics market report was published. Reports that the space electronics market has grown significantly in recent years. In 2025, its size will reach $ 2.81 billion, with a 7.1 % annual growth rate (CAGR).

Experts attribute this growth to the following factors:

  • Many initiatives in space exploration;
  • Large investments in satellite production;
  • Increased demand for space electronics products;
  • Increased popularity of space services;
  • Increase the number of satellite launch operations;
  • Intensifying human activity in deep space.

The possibilities of the space -resistant space electronics market are clear to all. The important aspects associated with growth in the number of launch operations near Earth, miniaturization and increased efficiency, rapid growth in investing in space projects, and introducing new materials for the manufacture of higher quality space electronics are understandable. Experts note main trends:

  • Development of radiation -resistant semiconductor techniques;
  • Digitability and systems of software, software;
  • High -performance computing for space tasks;
  • Photo and optical electrons in satellite communications;
  • Cyber ​​security in space systems;
  • Environmental friendliness of the space for space.

The largest companies operating in the Electronics Market for Space are Bae Systems PLC, Texas Instruments, Inc. , Cobham Plc, HoneyWell International Inc. , Stmbicroelectronics, TELEDYNE E2V (UK) Ltd. Semi -conductors, VISHAY Intertecnology Inc. , Silicon Laboratories Inc. , L3Harris Technologies Inc. , Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Corporation, Raytheon Technologies Corporation, Thales Group and Airbus Defeens and Space.

The patent side

The search for “space electronics” on Google.Patents shows more than 100,000 documents. The following companies are listed as leaders in terms of patents:

Corporate names speak for themselves.

Regarding the classification of international patents, the arrangement of symbols is as follows:

  • Digital data processing using G06F electrical appliances – 36.7 %
  • H04M Telecom – 15.7 %
  • Diagnostics surgery; Determine A61B – 13.2 %
  • Circles printed cans or parts of H05K electrical appliances – 12.9 %
  • Learn about G06V – 10.9 %
  • Transfer H04N – 10.6 %
  • Photo data processing or G06T – 10.2 %
  • Transfer of digital information H04L – 9.1 %
  • H04W – 9 % wireless communication networks
  • Transfer H04B sign – 8.6 %
  • G06Q data processing systems – 8.2 %
  • H01Q antennas – 7.8 %
  • Visual items, systems or devices G02B – 7.8 %
  • Reducing greenhouse gas emissions y02E – 6.2 %
  • Find radio direction radio navigation measuring distance or speed using radio waves; Determine or discover objects using a radio wave reflection or resurrection; Similar systems use other types of Waves G01S – 5.9 %
  • Electric power savings or distribution systems H02J – 5.4 %
  • Computer systems depend on specific mathematical models G06N – 4.9 %
  • Circles or devices to control indicators tools using fixed means to represent the changing quantities G09G – 4.8 %
  • Speed ​​speakers, microphones, transformers, or similar electromechanical sound transformers H04R – 4.1 %

In other words, in the global patent area, the topic of “space and electronics” appears to be multi -faceted and polyphonic. Revolving the tripartite tools of existential philosopher Jean -Paul Sartre, I can say that there are “space electronics” (the effect of cosmic powers on electronic devices), “electronics aspects of space) (electronic devices for activities in space), and” electron in space “(aspects of electron in space). The international invention patent classification has divided Simphoni into 10” notes “::

  • Digital data processing around space, from space, and for space;
  • Learn about pictures when searching:
    • From Earth to space;
    • From space to Earth;
    • From space vehicles to other aliens, such as competing or hostile satellites;
  • Healthy diagnoses for astronauts and astronauts;
  • Generating image data, for example, false or hiding data;
  • Transfer information, including protected information, etc.
  • Wireless communications (mobile phones) through space;
  • Electronic systems to supply or distribute electricity in space;
  • Optics in space;
  • Find the direction of space radio and radio navigation;
  • It looks in space.

Let’s take H05K as an example. As of June 2025, there are about 70,500 patents here, with the following leaders:

In this article, I am interested in semiconductors for the spacecraft. I had a narrow search on the Google.Patents gate using Electry Space Electronics H01L. In response, I received 27,019 documents (as of June 2025). The dynamics are presented by the year in Figure 1

Figure 1: The author's interpretation of Google.patents Data 15.06.2025Figure 1: The author's interpretation of Google.patents Data 15.06.2025
It can be seen that patent activity in 1986-2019 was at a height, but then decreased in 2020-2024. This may be due to the pressure of confidentiality/confidentiality of developments in this field of science and technology, both state and commercial.

Google.Patents has identified the following companies as:

Once again, these companies are known by Samsung.

conclusion

It is clear that many inventions related to electronic materials, departments, job devices, manufacturing methods, operating and maintenance techniques are classified or used as know -how. In other words, the “iceberg tip” has shown the open monitoring.
