Plain language summary
This report provides factual information about the Canadian space sector based on a questionnaire sent to almost 200 organizations, companies, not-for-profit organizations, research centres and universities with space-related activities in Canada. Each of these organizations contributes to the Canadian space economy, with large organizations generating the highest revenues (58%), SMEs reporting the majority of exports (58%), and universities and research centres supporting a substantial workforce of over 2,500 employees. Notably, the Canadian space sector experienced modest growth in 2022 and is still recovering from the lows experienced during the pandemic. To align with international practices, the publication is identified by the year in which the survey took place (2023) but reports on data covering the year 2022.
