The UK space industry has quadrupled in size

In 2010, the UK government established the United Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA),This replaced the British National Space Centre and took over responsibility for key budgets and policies on space exploration – representing the country in all negotiations on space matters and bringing together all civil space activities under one single management.
By 2014, the UK's thriving space sector was contributing over £9 billion ($15.2 billion) to the economy each year and directly employing 29,000 people, with an average growth rate of almost 7.5%. Recognising its strong potential, the government backed plans for a fourfold expansion of the industry.*Legal frameworks were created to allow the first spaceport to be established in the UK – spurring the growth of space tourism, launch services and other hi-tech companies. UKSA would also prove instrumental in making use of real-time data from Europe's new Galileo satellite navigation system.
By 2030, the UK has become a major player in the space industry, with a global market share of 10%. Having quadrupled in size, its space industry now contributes £40 billion ($67 billion) a year to the economy and has generated over 100,000 new high-skilled jobs.* The UK has significantly increased its leadership and influence in crucial areas like satellite communications, Earth observation, disaster relief and climate change monitoring. The growth of space-based products and services means the UK is now among the first 100% broadband-enabled countries in the world.* This has also reduced the costs of delivering Government services to all citizens, regardless of their location.
