"I think it's a huge concern," Vikram Nidamaluri, managing director of telecom, media, and entertainment at Lazard, said during a panel at the World Satellite Business Week conference on Monday.
"Having such a dominant launch provider is probably not healthy just in general for the commercial prospects of the industry," Nidamaluri added.
Nidamaluri echoed concerns about a rocket launch monopoly raised by others in the space industry this year.
Rocket launches are a potential bottleneck in the process of flying valuable satellites, spacecraft, and astronauts in orbit.
Beyond the U.S. rocket market, SpaceX leads the world in both launches and spacecraft mass delivered to orbit each quarter.
