Dublin, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Space-Based Artificial Intelligence Assistants Market Report 2026" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The space-based artificial intelligence (AI) assistants market is experiencing rapid growth, projected to expand from $1.3 billion in 2025 to $1.51 billion in 2026, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2%. This increase is attributed to advancements in machine learning for autonomous spacecraft operations, rising deployment of AI in satellite data analysis, government funding, and integration of AI for astronaut support.

Forecasts indicate the market will grow to $2.67 billion by 2030, with a CAGR of 15.3%. This growth is driven by the adoption of AI for deep-space exploration, deployment of radiation-hardened AI processors, demand for autonomous mission planning, and increased AI-driven environmental monitoring and diagnostics. Key trends include the expansion of radiation-hardened AI hardware, growth in autonomous navigation systems, and the increased use of onboard real-time data analytics for scientific missions.

Investments in space exploration are significantly boosting market expansion. These investments, from both public and private sectors, aim to enhance technologies and infrastructure critical for space exploration. The growing need for satellite services that support communication, navigation, and Earth observation is instrumental in this market's growth. For example, the Space Foundation reported a global space economy increase to $570 billion in 2023.

Leading companies are developing advanced AI products such as onboard processors, minimizing reliance on ground control systems. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, for instance, introduced AIRIS, an AI-based onboard detection system featuring the SOISOC4 microprocessor for advanced image processing, which will be demonstrated in orbit under JAXA's satellite mission.

The market also witnesses strategic industry movements like Sidus Space's acquisition of Exo-Space, enhancing real-time, on-orbit AI data processing capabilities. Exo-Space specializes in edge AI software and hardware for space applications.

Major players in the market include Airbus, IBM, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, NASA, Safran, Thales Group, L3Harris Technologies, SpaceX, Blue Origin, DLR, Sierra Nevada Corporation, Axiom Space, Sidus Space, Klepsydra Technologies, KP Labs, Cognitive Space, EdgeCortix, Nebula AI, Planetary Systems AI, and Aistrospace Limited.

North America is currently the largest market region, while Asia-Pacific is expected to experience the fastest growth. The analysis covers areas such as Southeast Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East, and Africa.

Global trade dynamics, including tariffs, impact the market by affecting the cost of importing key components like AI accelerators and processors, influencing hardware-driven segments more than software. However, tariffs are also driving domestic production investments and innovation in space-grade technologies.

The market report provides comprehensive insights into industry statistics, regional shares, market shares of leading competitors, current and future market conditions, and strategic recommendations to navigate the evolving global environment.
