Global Sun Sensor Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Sun Sensor market size was valued at US$ 31.2 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 64.8 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 11.1% during review period.

A sun sensor is a navigational instrument used by spacecraft to detect the position of the sun. Sun sensors are used for attitude control, solar array pointing, gyro updating, and fail-safe recovery. There are various types of sun sensors, which differ in their technology and performance characteristics. Sun presence sensors provide a binary output, indicating when the sun is within the sensor"s field of view. Analog and digital sun sensors, in contrast, indicate the angle of the sun by continuous and discrete signal outputs, respectively. This report studies the sun sensor in space market.

The main global Sun Sensor players include Bradford Space, NewSpace Systems, Adcole Space, GOMSpace, Space Micro, etc. The top five Sun Sensor players account for approximately 13% of the total global market.
