The global demand for Sun Sensor Market is presumed to reach the market size of nearly USD XX MN by 2028 from USD XX MN in 2021 with a CAGR of XX% under the study period 2022 - 2028.
A sun sensor is a sensing device that detects the sun's direction to measure its position. It acts as a navigational instrument in spacecraft for attitude control, solar array pointing, gyro updating, and fail-safe recovery. It also finds its uses in ground-based weather stations, solar power plants, sun-tracking systems, and aerial vehicles, including UAVs and parachute. Sun sensors are available in analog and digital types. A typical sun sensor operates based on the entry of light into a thin slit on top of a rectangular chamber whose bottom part is lined with a group of light-sensitive cells.
Market Dynamics
Sun sensors are becoming increasingly crucial owing to advancements in modern satellites, the thriving solar industry, and spurring UAVs deployment in various fields. There has been a steep rise in expectations of better maneuverability, agility, and precision control. Governments are spending on renewable energy generation, and more and more field embracing the advantages of UAVs resulting into increasing demand for sun sensor. A growing number of active satellites, rising penetration of pay-tv, expanding coverage of 4G connectivity, and growing internet usage are influencing sun sensor demand. A few notable trends, including increasing demand for earth observation imagery & analytics, accelerating demand for satellite navigation equipment, increasing R&D spending on aerospace and defense, and the emergence of integrated terrestrial-satellite connections, also augment growth. However, sun sensors are expensive, making it difficult for end-users to meet their pointing requirements and comply with their financial constraints. Consequently, key players are focused on developing sun sensors with low cost and high efficiency.
