Global Sun Sensor Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Sun Sensor market size is expected to reach $ 78.84 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 11.1% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
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. North America is the world"s largest consumer market for Sun Sensor, accounting for about 73%, followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. In terms of type, Coarse Analog Sun Sensors is the largest segment, with a share about 48%. And in terms of application, the largest application is LEO, followed by GEO.
