The global Computerized Equatorial Mount market size is predicted to grow from US$ 183 million in 2025 to US$ 257 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global sales of computerized equatorial mounts across various applications are projected to reach approximately 102,000 units, with an average price of USD 1,4501,850 per unit and a gross profit margin of approximately 32%40%. The average selling price (ASP) for professional-grade models (carrying over 10 kg) and those with automated guide closed-loop control is significantly higher than that of entry-level models. By aligning the main axis with the Earths rotation axis and independently driving and compensating for declination and right ascension, computerized equatorial mounts allow the telescope to rotate counter-clockwise at a constant speed along the right ascension direction during exposures, remaining stationary relative to the sky. This significantly reduces star trailing, distortion errors, and target offset in deep-sky object imaging, light curve acquisition, and high-resolution observation of planetary details. A typical setup consists of a highly stable frame structure (aluminum alloy/steel alloy), a high-precision gear transmission system (gearbox, spiral bevel gears, or coaxial planetary gears), right ascension/declination bearing assemblies, stepper/servo motors and encoders (for drive and error feedback), declination/right ascension axes and tripod support system, a controller (handheld controller or computer interface module), and a power supply system. General parameters include a load capacity of 330 kg, a periodic error of 530? (depending on gear precision and guiding system), a maximum torque of 1060 Nm for the declination/right ascension axis, a tracking accuracy of 1?5? RMS, and polar alignment options of manual adjustment or automatic polar alignment. Typical usage includes: one amateur deep-sky photography system typically equipped with one equatorial mount (with an 80200 mm optical tube); research/educational institutions often configure 13 sets per observatory; and astronomical clubs and small observatories typically have 28 sets. The platform is used to guide courses and public observation. Upstream, it mainly relies on high-precision steel and copper-based lubricants for gears/bearings, aluminum alloy/carbon fiber structural components, precision encoders and drive motors, controller electronics (MCU/FPGA/drive ICs), and standard tripod accessories; downstream, it focuses on amateur and professional astronomy enthusiasts, research institutions, observatory equipment manufacturers, education and science popularization centers, and DIY astronomy system integrators.

The computerized equatorial mount market growth is driven by multiple factors: On the one hand, the rise of the number of amateur astronomers worldwide, deep-sky photography interests, and image-sharing culture has driven a continuous increase in demand for high-performance tracking platforms; on the other hand, research institutions and universities are increasingly demanding precise imaging and observational data acquisition capabilities, resulting in relatively stable procurement volumes for equatorial mounts in research and education; furthermore, with the maturity of intelligent tracking, automated alignment, and closed-loop control technologies, equatorial mounts are penetrating from professional research fields into the education, popular science, and even consumer markets, further expanding sales of mid-range products. Fluctuations in raw material prices, global manufacturing and assembly capabilities, and changes in export trade policies will also affect costs and pricing strategies. Overall, as a core component in the astronomical equipment system that combines mechanical precision and electronic control integration, the computerized equatorial mount market will continue to maintain steady growth driven by three main lines: research, education, and high-end amateur photography, while evolving towards higher automation and intelligence.
