The European space industry has access to two Sales by main customer (M€, constant e.c.) main markets: an instuonal domesc market, with a civil and military component, and a market for commercial and export customers. Exports also 6000 include sales to instuonal customers outside 5000 Europe, such as space agencies in emerging countries (South Korea, Algeria). 4000 The European instuonal market represented more than half of European space manufacturing 3000 industry’s final sales in 2012. The main instuonal customers are ESA (worth 2.27 B€ sales), other civil 2000 agencies such as CNES, DLR, ASI and others (worth Sales to European public entities (constant e.c.) 1000 Commercial & exports sales (constant e.c.) 0.76 B€) and military agencies such as French DGA Other/unknown (constant e.c.) (worth 0.28 B€). 0 The commercial & export 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€ worth of sales. They are closely followed by launch Civil vs military systems sales (M€, constant e.c.) service providers (i.e. Arianespace) that procure launch systems from industry for a total 828 M€ (+14% from 2011). Commercial markets have been 9000 driven for years by the acvity of geostaonary 8000 satellite operators, with a very marked cyclical com- 7000 ponent. The cycle affects the sales of geostaonary 6000 satellite systems, as well as the sales of Ariane sys- 5000 tems (to a lesser extent). 4000 Export sales include a share of sales to instuons and governmental bodies outside Europe, as well 3000 Other/unknown (constant e.c.)

Sector demographics

Employment in large groups The space industrial sector is embedded in the larger aerospace and defence industrial land- scape. Approximately half of the companies in the survey have es with the main industrial conglomerates, such as EADS, Thales, Finmeccanica and Safran. As a result the vast majority of space industry employees are working in large aerospace and defence groups. Other These groups may also create specific JVs to undertake specific industrial tasks (e.g. Europro- companies pulsion, Cryospace, UMS...). 27% EADS 33% With a view to securing supply of crical equipment, large groups also tend to extend their control in the space supply chain with the absorpon of suppliers (and competors). Thus the space sector counts a large number of small space units, but a rather limited number of inde- OHB pendent SMEs. 3% Note that for the sake of representaon we have associated all Thales Alenia Space employees Safran to Thales (67% control share) and all of the Telespazio group to Finmeccanica (67% control 4% RUAG Thales share).

Survey informaon

Eurospace economic model

The Eurospace facts & figures economic model included 208 Space Units/Companies in 2012. The companies listed below are those having provided updated sales and employment informaon for the year 2012. The regular contribuon of major space players in Europe ensures the accuracy of Eurospace facts & figures economic assessment of European space manufacturing acvity. For all other companies, proxy data was used in the model. Proxy data is elaborated using informaon provided in previous years (when available) and/or informaon available from public sources, mainly the European Space Directory and company websites. 2012 Survey stascs: quesonnaire return rate in % of units, sales, employment The survey rate of return, measured in number of units was low this Nb of Final sales Space Survey statistics year, only 35%.
