Last year, the size of the national space industry was estimated at 3,893.1 billion won. It decreased slightly compared to 3,932.5 billion won in 2018. The domestic space industry was found to be heavily concentrated in the services and equipment sector using satellites last year after 2018. 2,665.6 billion won, or 68.5% are in the services and equipment sector that use satellites. After that, it accounted for 572 billion won (14.7%) in the satellite production field and 3679 billion won (9.4%) in the launch vehicle production field. Compared to 2018, it increased slightly by 5% and 2%, respectively. The remaining sectors of space exploration, scientific research, ground equipment and space insurance did not represent a significant difference from 2018.
On the 29th, the Ministry of Science and ICT announced the results of the ‘Space Industry Survey 2020’. The survey on the real situation of the space industry has been conducted annually since 2008, since statistical data participated by national organizations related to space.
This year’s survey included 359 national space companies, 34 research institutes and 56 universities, a total of 449 institutes. Regarding the number of participating institutions, the largest number of institutions in the field of satellite service and equipment was 204. There were 96 in the fields of limitations of satellites and terrestrial equipment, respectively, 94 in the production of launch vehicles and 50 in the field of scientific research.

The size of the national space industry was 3,893.1 billion won, up from 3,932.5 billion won in 2018. This is the sum of the sales, budget and research expenses of space-related institutions. who participate in the survey. By institution, corporate sales amounted to KRW 3,261.1 billion (83.8%), the budget for research institutions was KRW 584 billion (15%), and university research expenses were KRW 47.2 billion ( 1.2%). By field, satellite utilization services and equipment accounted for the largest share at 2.6 trillion won (68.5%). In 2018, the satellite equipment and services sector accounted for 75% of the entire national space industry, which was slightly lower than that. 575 billion won (14.7%) for satellite production, 3.679 billion won (9.4%) for launch vehicle production, 166.2 billion won (4.1%) for ground equipment, 66.5 billion won (1.7%) for scientific research, 44.9 billion won (1.2%) for space exploration and space insurance Order was 16.7 billion won (0.4%).

A total of 9397 people from the space industry were surveyed. Among them, the workforce of companies was 6643, which represents 70.7% of the total space industry. Next, universities represented 1,562 with 16.6% and research institutes with 1,192 with 12.7%. By field, 4,980 (53.0%) of satellite utilization service and equipment, 1,352 (14.4%) of satellite production and 1,097 (11.7%) of launch vehicle production were surveyed. The space industry workforce has grown at an annual average of 1% over the past 10 years.
Amount of investment in space by sector by institution. Provided by the Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communication
The investment amount in the space sector was 3.154 billion won. The amount of investment in the space sector is the sum of R&D expenses, investment in facilities and education and training expenses in the space sector of companies, research institutes and universities. It increased by 78.3 billion won compared to the previous year. This is because the cost of institutional investment has increased significantly. This year’s facility investment was the largest at 158.9 billion won, representing 50.4% of the total. It was followed by R&D expenditures of 154.7 billion won (49.0%) and education and training expenditures of 1.8 billion won (0.6%). Of the total space investment, businesses accounted for 2684 billion won (85.0%), research institutes 45.6 billion won (14.5%), and universities 14.4 billion won (0 ,5%).
According to Statista, a statistical data site on the 29th, the global space industry last year was analyzed at $ 4.238 billion (about 46.4 trillion out of 1104 billion won). $ 2.177 billion in commercial space and services industry (about 238.29 trillion won), $ 119.2 billion in commercial infrastructure and supporting industries (approximately KRW 130.4763 billion), and $ 896 billion in government investments (about 98.76 trillion won) be – be.
“The survey on the actual condition of the space industry is the only statistical information on the space field in Korea,” said Chang-yoon Lee, director of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and “the results of this survey are the establishment of policies government, the establishment of strategies for spatial management of companies and academic research and research data. We hope that it can be used in various ways. “
The full report of this survey can be found on the website of the Ministry of Science and ICT or the Korea Space Technology Association.
