  2. The “Space Sector”

  3. The Global Space Market 2010 Global Market: US$277bn 7.7% growth in 2010 (5% in 2008 and 2009) 13% growth in commercial sectors Source The Space report 2011 The Space Foundation

  5. UK Industry Growth 2000 to 2009 Turnover rose at an average rate of 8.9% per year in real terms Downstream has grown at 9.4% per year, upstream by 5.7% per year

  6. UK Space Industry Growth Strategy • A joined-up industry, government, academia team developed an “Innovation & Growth Strategy”, Feb 2010 • This aims to grow the UK share of the global (growing) space market, creating 100,000 new jobs and achieving a £40bn turnover by 2030 • This requires maintaining the growth seen over the last decade to 2030! • Financial crisis has impacted government’s ability to respond • Other “space nations” are also reacting to the high-growth of the sector and increasing investment • New entrants – China and India extremely active • UK will not outspend, so we have to be smart

  7. Growing the UK Share of the Global Market • If we can maintain the current share of the global market then in 2030 we reach £25bn • If our market share drops to an average relative to our GDP of around 3% then we reach £12bn in 2030 • If we can grow market share to 10% then we reach the goal of £40bn by 2030 • The growth is primarily in the area of applications & services

  8. Growth Markets

  9. The Vision for Catapult

  10. Challenges The industrial community identified two “valleys of death” where good ideas fail to become commercial successes: In the technology field “failure to industrialise” where the high entry barriers make demonstrating and proving the new technology impossible – in particular to demonstrate performance in orbit, but also ground testing (esp. for SMEs) In the applications field “failure to commercialise” where access to space derived services or data is limited or not understood, to allow service prototyping in front of prospective customers And doing this all under one roof where possible to create the innovative dynamic between technologies and applications Applications pull and technology push The development of an in-house research capability is also being investigated with our academic partners

  11. Opportunities for growth Various sources confirm market size and growth, including the Space IGS, the [US] Space Foundation and OECD The Industry Delivery Team has used the OECD Space Economy at a Glance, 2011 report as the basis for planning • High growth markets have been mapped against traditional space technology sectors • And UK strengths and opportunities identified • And underpinning technology requ’s identified • Response from community reinforces initial delivery team assessments

  12. Capabilities The two main offerings from the Catapult will be technology and expertise for proving and demonstrating application / service prototyping Across each of the identified market areas there will be a mix of needs for both capability offerings: Technology Demonstration Service Prototyping Distance Learning & Telemedicine E-Commerce Entertainment Financial Services & Insurance • Technology proving / demo includes in-orbit through TDS follow-on missions as well as access to national test facilities (anechoic chamber, thermal-vacuum, RF-test equipment etc) • Service prototyping includes access to EO and GNSS data and satcom products and services through ISIC facilities (SRU, CEMS, video wall, AIC….)

  13. Conclusions • The UK space industry is a hidden success story, and continues to grow strongly • Like other nations, UK is targeting space as high-growth sector, however • The cooperative model between industry, government and academia is unique, … • … and vital to bringing the ideas, the skills, the finance, the regulation and public sector customer base together effectively • UK good at doing this and ISIC and Catapult are good examples of a partnership in action • We will not outspend the other nations so we have to be smart and make best use of all capabilities • Wider cooperation with like-minded organisations will widen skill base and market opportunity
