An automotive sunroof is mounted on the roof of vehicles and helps improve the vehicle’s appearance and prevents noise created by the wind. It is an adjustable glass panel on the automotive roof that can be operated manually or automatically, depending on the vehicle type. Additionally, automotive sunroofs come in various types, such as in-built and panoramic, which offer natural light, improved ventilation, and open-air driving. Moreover, the automotive sunroofs can either be fixed or sliding, opaque or transparent, and can even feature a visor block that blocks the light from the passenger cabin.
Factors such as the increase in the demand for premium vehicles and SUVs, innovation and developments in sunroof technology, and the rise in demand for comfort and convenience features are driving the global automotive sunroof market. Concurrently, the low penetration in entry-level vehicles and issues related to sunroof integration and safety could restrain the market growth to a certain extent.
