Moreover, acquiring components that are essential for Earth’s fundamental sustenance is another goal of asteroid mining operations. It has been distinguished that the asteroid belt in our solar system is composed of 70% volatile-rich carbonaceous (C type) asteroids and 9% metal-rich (M type) asteroids. Additionally, the transportation of valuable minerals and raw materials to Earth to fuel its rapidly diminishing resources is an encouragement for celestial mining enterprises. Also, the overall amount invested in space projects globally in 4 years up to 2019 was USD 18 billion. The cost efficiency of asteroid mining and also the emerging number of celestial mining enterprises are anticipated to fuel the global asteroid mining market. With a growing CAGR of ~22% over the forecast period, the global asteroid mining market had gathered around USD 1 billion in 2021.

Furthermore, owing to the prevalence of iron, nickel, and cobalt in asteroids, humanity has the ability to make tools in space. Utilizing 3D printing technology allows one to build objects without ever needing to launch them on a rocket. The expense of exploitation can then be further reduced by building tools, equipment, and even dwellings elsewhere than on Earth. In addition to that, water and metals are among the most valuable materials that could be discovered in asteroids. According to a recent study, there are around 25 and 81 hydrated near-earth asteroids that are at least 1km in diameter. 9 to 25 of the asteroids are reachable with ease, compared to the moon’s surface. According to the latest research, there are also 352- 1,052 smaller hydrated objects that are closer to us than the moon. It is also estimated that the materials in these asteroids constitute about 450 to 1,250billion kilos (440 to 1.3 billion U.S. tonnes) of water that could be tapped. That translates to connecting 110 billion and 410 billion U.S. gallons (400 billion and 1.200 billion liters) of water. The global asteroid mining market is further driven by the use of cutting-edge technology, initiatives for advanced research, company initiatives, emergence of new start-up businesses, and the presence of metals and other valuable materials. California's asteroid mining start-up, AstroForge has bagged over USD 14 million in seed funding in May 2022 to improve its footing in the global asteroid mining market competitive landscape.

The global asteroid mining market is segmented on the basis of region into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. On account of rising interest and investment in space exploration missions as well as state concerns about space resource depletion, the market in North America is anticipated to expand significantly over the forecast period. Despite the COVID-19 epidemic, the global government spending on space initiatives rose by 11% in 2021 to a new high of almost USD 93 billion. In 2021, the U.S. government invested around USD 55 billion in its space programs, giving the nation the largest space expenditure globally. Moreover, TransAstra declared in November 2020 that it had started the Mini-Bee asteroid mining spacecraft’s phase III of prototyping. From 2022 to 2023, this prototype will be evaluated for Trans Astronautica mining technology in space.

Alternately, the Asia Pacific region is predicted to be another significant geological attraction owing to the rising expenditure on robotics for space development among some countries in the region, including China and Japan. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), Japan accounted for around 47% of the global supply of industrial robots in 2022. The nation’s suppliers of robots have significantly grown their production capacity in past years. When 136,069 industrial robots were shipped in 2020, their export percentage increased to 78 percent as of March 2022. Furthermore, it is legal for Japanese private business operators to evaluate and develop non-living resources including water, minerals, and other non-living resources in space. These developments are anticipated to greatly accelerate market developments in the region.
