According to the National Space Administration, the newly established Commercial Space Department is gradually operational, marking a dedicated regulatory body for China's commercial space industry. This move is expected to drive high-quality development across the sector, benefiting the entire industrial chain.
In the secondary market, commercial space concept stocks have shown strong performance. As of Friday's close, 航天发展 (Aerospace Development) surged with seven limit-ups in 11 days, while 雷科防务 (Raytron Technology) recorded four limit-ups in five days. 通宇通讯 (Tongyu Communication) saw two consecutive limit-ups, and 干照光电 (GanZhao Optoelectronics), 航天环宇 (Aerospace Hi-Tech) hit 20% limit-ups. 顺灏股份 (Shunho Holdings) and 四川金顶 (Sichuan Jinding) opened with limit-ups.
Analysts from CITIC Securities noted that the recruitment of a "Commercial Space Supervision Position" in the 2026 Civil Service Exam announcement signals the formal establishment of the Commercial Space Department. In the launch segment, medium-sized carrier rockets are set for maiden flights, supporting large-scale satellite constellation deployment. Currently, GW and Qianfan constellations each have over 100 satellites in orbit, with applications nearing implementation.
