Lower costs have driven the space economy past $500B in 2025, and it is on track to exceed $1 trillion by 2030, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Berenberg favors companies with "vertically integrated launch and differentiated/sovereign constellation capability that cannot easily be replicated." Rocket Lab shares fell 3.1% despite Berenberg's bullish outlook on the broader space industry, which the analyst said has expanded past $500 billion in 2025 and is headed toward $1 trillion by 2030 as launch costs decline.
