Automotive Sunroof Market Revenue and Trends 2023 to 2033

The global automotive sunroof market revenue reached USD 13.16 billion in 2024 and is predicted to attain around USD 25.44 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 7.60%. The increasing production of cars and the rising demand for luxury features are expected to boost the automotive sunroof market’s growth during the forecast period.

Market Overview

Automotive sunroofs have become an essential feature in vehicles, which allows natural light and fresh air into the cabin, further enhancing driver's and passengers' comfort. Automotive sunroofs can be transparent or opaque and are available in various shapes, sizes, and styles to fit specific car models. These sunroofs can be controlled manually or electronically. Several car manufacturers use cutting-edge technologies like lightweight composite materials to create more efficient and lighter sunroofs.

The market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising demand for smart sunroofs. Advancements in technology led to the development of smart sunroofs that can block UV rays and adjust transparency. Smart sunroofs are compatible with smartphone apps, allowing drivers or passengers to automatically open or close sunroofs by clicking on their smartphone. Moreover, innovations in glass technology have made it possible to tint sunroofs. Tinting sunroofs helps reduce the temperature inside the vehicle and prevents UV from entering the car, enhancing safety and comfort.

Report Highlights of the Automotive Sunroof Market

• By sunroof type, the panoramic sunroof segment held a sizeable share of the market in 2024. A panoramic sunroof offers proper ventilation and covers a larger area. Several car manufacturers are shifting toward panoramic sunroofs to improve ventilation and airflow, enhancing comfort.
• By operation, the automatic segment dominated the market with the largest share in 2024. The increased adoption of automatic sunroofs for their ease of use and convenience is a major factor that contributed to the segment’s dominance. These sunroofs can be closed or opened with a button or through a control panel. The increased demand for easy-to-use automobile technologies and integrated safety systems further bolstered the segmental growth.
• By material type, the glass segment accounted for the dominant share of the market in 2024. This is mainly due to the increased popularity of various forms of glassware, like tempered glass and laminated glass, that protect against ultraviolet rays. Moreover, advancements in glass technology augmented the segment.
• By distribution channel, the OEM segment dominated the automotive sunroof market in 2024. OEMs integrate sunroofs directly into the vehicle design during manufacturing. The low cost of OEM sunroofs further bolstered the segment.
• By vehicle type, the passenger cars segment led the market in 2024. This is mainly due to the increased production of passenger cars. Consumers of passenger cars often seek enhanced safety and comfort. However, sunroofs enhance comfort by enabling airflow in the cabin.

Major Trends in the Automotive Sunroof Market

• Rising Demand for Comfort and Luxury Features: There is a high demand for comfort and luxury features among car owners. Sunroofs provide an enjoyable driving experience, making them popular among car owners. Moreover, innovations like switchable glazing and ambient lighting technologies led to the development of luxurious sunroofs. 
• Rising Adoption of Sunroofs in SUVs: The increasing adoption of sunroofs in sport utility vehicles (SUVs) drives market growth. Sunroofs provide comfort suitable for rough terrain conditions and maintain levels of sunlight with better visibility. Moreover, rising demand for customized sunroofs contributes to market expansion.
• Demand for Solar-powered Sunroofs: There is a high demand for solar-powered sunroofs. They generate electricity to power vehicle electronics, reducing the load on the vehicle battery and improving the vehicle's efficiency. With the increasing production of electric vehicles, the demand for solar-powered sunroofs is rising. Many electric car manufacturers are incorporating solar sunroofs in their vehicle designs that harvest energy to power some vehicle features. For instance, in September 2024, Webasto, a Germany-based developer of vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (VIPV) solutions, launched a new car roof system concept designed to be able to generate 350 kWh of electricity per year and reduce the roof system's weight by up to 40% compared to conventional designs. This system, made with triangle-shaped silicon solar cells arranged in a honeycomb matrix pattern, covers the rear window and roof area and enables a 2500 km more range per year depending on the vehicle and local climate conditions.

Regional Analysis

Asia Pacific dominated the automotive sunroof market with the largest share in 2024. This is mainly due to the heightened demand for luxury features among car owners. Countries like China, Japan, India, and South Korea are among the top five leading countries in vehicle production. In addition, increased production of electric vehicles and increased consumer disposable income bolstered the market in Asia Pacific. On the other hand, Europe is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the market during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the presence of manufacturers of luxury vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi. Moreover, rising government regulations to develop sustainable automotive solutions and the increasing production of premium vehicles contribute to regional market expansion.
