Automotive Sunroof Market Growth & Trends

The global automotive sunroof market size is expected to reach USD 20.1 billion by 2030, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2024 to 2030. Initially, the sunroof feature was limited only to luxury vehicles. However, its growing popularity among consumers prompted several automakers to consider it as a differentiating feature. Rising popularity of sunroof feature coupled with continual advancements in glass technology is anticipated to provide a significant boost to the market.

Demand for convertible cars has been plummeting since the past few years owing to factors such as lesser agility and safety and higher costs as compared to hardtop vehicles. When it comes to hardtop vehicles, demand for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) has been rising tremendously owing to benefits they offer, such as improved stability and safety coupled with better utility. Furthermore, SUVs are increasingly being fitted with sunroofs. This shift in consumer preference is estimated to boost the demand for glass sunroof systems.

However, concerns regarding glass shattering in events of rollovers or accidents are poised to hinder the growth of the market.
