The European space industry has access to two Sales by main customer (M€, constant e.c.) main markets: an instuonal domesc market, 4 500 with a civil and military component, and a market 4 000 for commercial and export customers. Exports also include sales to instuonal customers outside 3 500 Europe, such as space agencies in emerging countries (South Korea, Algeria). 3 000

The European instuonal market represented 2 500 more than half of European space manufacturing industry’s ﬁnal sales in 2011. The main instuonal 2 000

customers are ESA (worth 2.2 B€ sales), other civil 1 500 agencies such as CNES, DLR, ASI and others (worth Sales to European public entities 0.7 B€) and military agencies such as French DGA 1 000 Commercial & exports sales (worth 0.4 B€). Military sales are stable from 2010, Other/unkown 500 other figures grow significantly. The commercial & exports markets include a wide - variety of customers. The main customers are commercial satellites operators, such as Eutelsat and SES in Europe, Arabsat or Globalstar outside Europe, that represent 1.3 B€ Civil vs military systems sales (M€, constant e.c.) worth of sales. They are closely followed by launch 7 000 service providers that procure launch systems from industry for a total 714 M€ (+7% from 2010). Com- 6 000 mercial markets have been driven for years by the acvity of geostaonary satellite operators, with a 5 000 very marked cyclical component. The cycle affects the sales of geostaonary satellite systems, as well 4 000 as the sales of Ariane systems (to a lesser extent).

Employment in large groups The space industrial sector is embedded in the larger aerospace and defence industrial complex. About half the companies in the survey have es with the main industrial con- glomerates, such as EADS, Thales, Finmeccanica and Safran. As a result, 76% (a few Other receding from 2010) of space industry employees are working in large aerospace and companies EADS defence groups (see pie chart concerned). Safran 24% 33% These groups may also create speciﬁc JVs to undertake speciﬁc industrial tasks (e.g. 4% Europropulsion, Cryospace, UMS...). With a view to securing supply of crical equipment, large groups tend to extend their control in the supply chain with the absorpon of suppliers (and competors). Thus the RUAG space sector counts a large number of small space units, but a rather limited number of 3% independent SMEs.

Civil vs. military systems sales

European space industry products include military and civil systems. Civil system sales are sll the vast majority of sales (86.6%), but military systems sales were stable in 2011. This growth was mainly supported by ground system sales, to military European customers.

However not all systems are launched in the year of 30 delivery; industry revenues from Arianespace also include a share of services provided at Kourou for launcher integra- 20 on and launcher operaons—thus the profiles of launches and payments are not perfectly aligned.
