The document outlines the UK space sector's achievements and challenges in accelerating space-enabled economic growth. It identifies key markets such as satellite broadband, maritime surveillance, and location-based services that could drive growth. Recommendations include promoting space benefits, increasing exports, stimulating SMEs, and regulating supportively. Implementing identified actions could help triple the upstream space economy and achieve the target of £40 billion in space-enabled turnover by 2030.

6. Historic Growth

7. The Space IGS 2013 Challenge
• Continuity of Space IGS 2010 ambition
• 10% of global space economy by 2030, which leads to:
• 100,000 new jobs
• £40 billion UK space-enabled turnover by 2030
• Differentiator
• IGS 2010 was focussed on fundamental structures & investment
• IGS 2013 is focussed on space services & applications to drive economic
growth in the broader economy, providing:
• An enabling ‘eco-system’
• New infrastructure that will be needed for these markets
• Challenge
• Achieving sustained growth within the space economy now requires focus
across a number of different areas:
• A cultural change: Looking outwards not inwards
• Increase in uptake of services in external markets, exploiting data from
space, creating new value chains
• Maximised use of existing infrastructure to address immediate
opportunities

8. Scale of the Challenge
• Near five-fold increase in the “down-stream” from £8bn to
£37bn by 2030
• Dramatically stimulate the broader market for space services and
data
• Create / attract & anchor new space services & applications
companies in the UK
• Grow existing UK space services & applications companies
• Maximise UK involvement in operating major institutional
infrastructure
• Triple size of the “up-stream” from £1bn per annum to £3bn per
annum by 2030
• Innovative manufacturing – adopting new technology more quickly
• Develop disruptive ‘game changing’ technology
• Growing the number of SMEs in the supply chain
• Maximise UK involvement in building major institutional infrastructure

26. Conclusions
• First IGS focused on fundamental structures (UKSA, Harwell, ESA etc)
based on a review of market opportunities & barriers
• Market opportunities have been quantified and the barriers and
competitive position are understood
• Challenge now is to accelerate investment in selected space
infrastructure and applications which engage with the broader economy to
drive economic growth
• Key actions have been identified for all the UK space stakeholders to
clear the path to growth
• Growth targets are achievable if all space stakeholders come together
to seize this opportunity now
