Cheap price-per-kilo launch era is over, launchers say

At World Space Business Week in Paris, SpaceX competitors said the subsidized price-per-kilogram model has run its course and a market reset is coming. Firefly Aerospace expects a reset within 6–24 months, Blue Origin targets over 100 launches per year, and Arianespace aims for 9–10 launches from 2027.

• Firefly Aerospace: low price-per-kilo model led to supply shortage
• Blue Origin targets over 100 launches per year, Arianespace 9–10 from 2027
• Firefly aims for at least 12 launches per year, MHI ramps from 6 to 7–8
