Deloitte Projects Lunar Economy Worth $566 Billion by Mid-Century

A new Deloitte report estimates the moon economy could reach $566 billion by 2050 under an accelerated growth scenario, with a more conservative case at $343 billion. The firm also identifies $541 billion in potential space-based opportunities from scientific advances and novel applications, which it calls an 'unimagined market.' Core lunar infrastructure, especially transportation, accounts for $282 billion of the projected value.
