Global Automotive Sunroof Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Material (Glass and Fabric), By Vehicle Type (Gasoline Powered Vehicle and Electric Powered Vehicle), By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2023 - 2030

The Global Automotive Sunroof Market size is expected to reach $13.2 billion by 2030, rising at a market growth of 8.9% CAGR during the forecast period.

Solar-equipped electric vehicles can benefit from reduced dependency on traditional charging infrastructure. Therefore, the Electric Powered Vehicle segment acquired $984.0 million in 2022. Advances in solar panel technology, such as improved efficiency and flexibility, have made it more feasible to integrate solar panels into the curved surfaces of automotive sunroofs. This innovation has expanded the possibilities for incorporating solar power in electric vehicles without compromising design aesthetics. Including solar sunroofs in electric vehicles enhances the overall appeal of these vehicles to consumers. As awareness grows regarding the potential benefits of solar energy integration, consumer demand for electric vehicles equipped with solar sunroofs may increase. As a result, the above-mentioned factors will significantly boost market growth. Some of the factors impacting the market are growing innovation in glass technology, rise in the demand for safety, comfort, and convenience features, and complexity in design and manufacturing.

Integrating smart glass technology in automotive sunroofs has been a significant innovation. Smart glass can be electronically controlled to change its transparency, allowing users to adjust the light entering the cabin. This adds a futuristic and high-tech aspect to vehicles and provides customizable options for users. Electrochromic glass technology allows the glass to change its tint or color in response to an electrical charge. This feature can be applied to automotive sunroofs, allowing users to control glare and heat entering the cabin. Electrochromic sunroofs contribute to a more comfortable driving experience. Additionally, Modern automotive sunroofs are equipped with advanced safety features that contributing to the vehicle's overall safety. Anti-pinch technology ensures the sunroof automatically stops closing if it detects an obstruction, preventing accidents or injuries. Additionally, some sunroofs are made with advanced materials that enhance impact resistance, providing an extra layer of safety for occupants. Convenience features such as integrated sunshade controls add to the comfort and usability of automotive sunroofs. Users can easily open, close, or adjust the sunshade to control the amount of sunlight entering the cabin, providing a customizable and comfortable driving environment. Automotive sunroofs offer a range of customization options, allowing users to choose different types of sunroofs, sizes, and features based on their preferences for comfort and style. The rise in the demand for safety, comfort, and convenience features has driven innovation in the automotive sunroof market.

However, Complex sunroof designs often involve sophisticated mechanisms, advanced materials, and intricate engineering. The additional complexity can drive up production costs, making vehicles with such sunroof features more expensive. This may limit the affordability of sunroofs for certain industry segments. The complexity of sunroof designs can contribute to a higher likelihood of maintenance and repair issues. More intricate mechanisms and features may be prone to wear and tear, increasing the potential for malfunctions. This can increase vehicle owners' maintenance costs and affect the perception of sunroofs' reliability. The intricate engineering, testing, and validation processes can slow down the introduction of new sunroof technologies to the market. This may hinder manufacturers from keeping pace with rapidly evolving consumer preferences and market trends. Due to the above factors, market growth will be hampered in the coming years.

Material Outlook

On the basis of material, the automotive sunroof market is segmented into glass and fabric. The fabric segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the automotive sunroof market in 2022. Fabric sunroofs provide a convertible experience, allowing drivers and passengers to enjoy an open-air driving sense. This feature significantly appeals to individuals who enjoy the feeling of the wind and sun on the road. Fabric sunroofs are often easier and faster than complex glass sunroof systems. The simple mechanical or motorized mechanisms allow for quick opening and closing, providing users with the convenience of adjusting the roof on the go. Fabric sunroofs are generally more cost-effective to manufacture and repair than glass sunroofs. This can lower overall vehicle production costs, making them more available to a broader consumer base.

Vehicle Type Outlook

Based on vehicle type, the automotive sunroof market is fragmented into gasoline powered vehicle and electric powered vehicle. In 2022, the gasoline powered vehicle segment held the highest revenue share in the automotive sunroof market. Gasoline infrastructure, including gas stations, is well-established globally. This extensive network of refueling stations makes gasoline easily accessible for consumers, supporting the convenience and practicality of gasoline-powered vehicles. Gasoline-powered vehicles often have a lower upfront cost than certain alternative fuel options, such as electric or hybrid vehicles. This affordability appeals to a broad consumer base, particularly in markets where cost is a significant factor in purchasing decisions.

Regional Outlook

Region-wise, the automotive sunroof market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region registered the highest revenue share in the automotive sunroof market. Due to the existence of major automotive manufacturers, such as Hyundai-Kia, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Tata Motors Limited, Lexus, and Toyota. Growing car customization trends and a younger population demanding aftermarket sunroof installations are major factors driving the market for sunroofs in these countries. Moreover, governments across Asia-Pacific are taking initiatives to develop the automotive sector, boosting associated market development. Further government initiatives to increase the adoption of electric vehicles and the rise in mass segment cars offering sunroofs as an optional component are responsible for the stimulating demand for in-vehicle sunroofs.
