Automotive Panoramic Sunroof Market Growth Is Driven By Premium Vehicle Demand

The global automotive panoramic sunroof market was valued at approximately USD 2.21 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 12.75 billion by 2030, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 16.8% between 2023 and 2030.

The automotive panoramic sunroof market centers on large glass roof systems spanning most or all of a vehicle's roof area. These sunroofs enhance the driving experience by allowing more natural light in and creating a spacious cabin atmosphere. They feature electrically operated opening mechanisms and UV protective coatings, often incorporating wind deflectors to reduce turbulence. As consumer preferences shift toward premium features and comfort, panoramic sunroofs have transitioned from luxury-exclusive options to becoming increasingly available in mid-range vehicles.
