Sun Sensor Global Market Report 2025: Market Opportunities & Challenges Outlook

The global market for Sun Sensor was estimated to be worth US$ 33.5 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 70.5 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 11.4% during the forecast period 2025-2031. 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.
