As the space race heats up, Elon Musk’s company SpaceX continues to dominate the launch industry. Indeed, since the start of 2024, the company has carried out more launches than all other countries in the world combined.
An unprecedented pace of launches
It’s absolutely historic what’s happening. SpaceX, once doubted, is today the largest rocket launcher, doing better than the rest of the world, cumulatively. A very likely record once again for the year 2024.
In the month of April alone, SpaceX has already carried out 11 launches, 8 of which concerned its Starlink constellations. In total, the company has deployed more than 250 satellites in low orbit since January 1, 2024. An impressive figure which demonstrates SpaceX’s considerable advance in this area.

| Rest of the world | 32 |
An incomparable technological advance
SpaceX’s success isn’t just about the number of launches. The company is also very profitable, thanks to its contracts with government agencies and private companies to launch satellites. In 2023, SpaceX achieved revenue of more than $10 billionmaking it One of the most important players in the space sector.
One of SpaceX’s main assets is its technological advance. The company has developed its own launchers and satellites, which allows it to control the entire value chain and offer more competitive prices than its competitors. Reliability being in the line of sight, this is what makes SpaceX a major player.
As competition heats up, SpaceX looks set to continue to dominate the space launch industry. The company has numerous projects in the works, including the development of its Starship launch vehicle, which is intended to carry humans to the Moon and Mars.
SpaceX is today a key player in the space sector. Thanks to its technological advance and its frenetic pace of launches, the company is on the verge of revolutionizing access to space. Despite doubts about its Starship program heading to the Moon, then Mars, we must remember that the same doubts emerged at the time of the launch of the Falcon program. Today it is the most reliable rocket in the world and above all with the most launches in history.
