Global Small-Lift Launch Vehicle Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032

The global Small-Lift Launch Vehicle market size is expected to reach $ million by 2032, rising at a market growth of %CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

This report studies the Small-lift Launch Vehicle market. A small-lift launch vehicle is a rocket orbital launch vehicle that is capable of lifting up to 2,000 kg (4,400 lb) of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO). The next larger category consists of medium-lift launch vehicles.

The first small-lift launch vehicle was the Sputnik rocket; it put into orbit an unmanned orbital carrier rocket designed by Sergei Korolev in the Soviet Union, derived from the R-7 Semyorka ICBM. On 4 October 1957, the rocket was used to perform the world"s first satellite launch, placing Sputnik 1 satellite into a low Earth orbit. The USA responded by launching the Vanguard rocket, that was intended to be the first launch vehicle the United States would use to place a satellite into orbit. Instead, the Sputnik crisis caused by the surprise launch of Sputnik 1 led the U.S., after the failure of Vanguard TV3, to quickly orbit the Explorer 1 satellite using a Juno I rocket launched on January 31, 1958. Vanguard I was the second successful U.S. orbital launch.

In the Chinese market, major producers include IHI Aerospace, SAST, CALT, CASIC, GKNPTs Khrunichev and KCST.
