Market Growth Factors

Government-supported calculated projects such as space infrastructure, and regional positioning systems, are the main drivers of Turkey's CubeSat market. The national space program prioritizes the development of indigenous small satellite technologies. Along with supporting educational programs producing aerospace engineers, the government's priority on achieving sovereign capabilities in positioning and timing through projects such as the BKZS, all contribute to a thriving aerospace sector in Türkiye which is becoming a competitive player in the CubeSat market.

Technological advancements, including the development of 6U, 12U CubeSats, and further miniaturization of micro-electromechanical systems, are expected to drive growth in the small satellite market in the coming years. The use of domestically designed atomic clocks and navigation computers increases the precision of position and time measurements and reduces dependence on foreign navigation systems. The aircraft module is scalable through modular design. Local manufacturing firms may also benefit from standardized parts.

Investment from private and state-owned companies drives the market growth. Plan-S and Baykar's investments in CubeSat programs launch satellites with indigenously developed software for IoT communication, Earth observation, and remote sensing. Local production is expected for antennae, attitude control systems, and other components. It can improve technological independence if it improves local production. Furthermore, it will help make people rely less on global manufacturers to gain cost advantages. These factors, along with encouraging policies, should enable strong growth in the future.
