Dublin, Jan. 21, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Autonomous Rocket Landing Gear Market Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The autonomous rocket landing gear market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to grow from $1.23 billion in 2025 to $1.41 billion in 2026, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. This surge is largely due to advancements such as shock absorbers, power units, and autonomous landing sequences, all of which enhance the precision and stability of reusable rocket landings. Reusable technologies are key to reducing mission costs, driving significant investment in this sector.
Looking ahead, the market is set to reach $2.37 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 13.9%. Key drivers include increased demand for advanced landing gear in commercial and defense sectors, the development of AI-driven sensors, and an emphasis on lightweight materials. The proliferation of next-gen reusable rocket programs and cost-efficient missions have propelled this growth. Notable trends include the integration of precision landing control modules, adaptive force distribution technologies, and improvements in shock-absorption systems.
Investments in space exploration are crucial, bolstered by funding from government and private entities for developing rocket technologies. This uptick is driven by interests in deep space endeavors and satellite deployments. The space economy, valued at $570 billion in 2023, mirrors these investments. Autonomous landing gear benefits from these investments, leading to safer, more economical missions.
Satellite launches also significantly impact market growth, driven by the need for effective communication, navigation, and scientific research solutions. These launches necessitate autonomous landing gear, which ensures safe returns and enables cost-effective satellite deployments. Russia’s projected expansion of its satellite constellation from 160 to 1,000 by 2030 exemplifies this trend.
Leading industry players like SpaceX, Blue Origin, and ISRO are advancing technologies for reusable launch vehicles, enhancing mission efficiency with autonomous landing capabilities. For example, ISRO’s Pushpak vehicle demonstrated robust autonomous landing, underscoring the market’s technological advancements.
North America led the market in 2025, but the influence of global trade relations and tariffs is noteworthy. Tariffs have increased manufacturing costs yet simultaneously encouraged local production, fostering innovation in cost-efficient landing technologies. These dynamics are pivotal in mitigating supply chain disruptions in key regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
