NEW YORK, June 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The global automotive sunroof market size is estimated to grow by USD 11.37 billion from 2024-2028, according to Technavio. The market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of over11.29%  during the forecast period. The automotive sunroof market is experiencing growth due to the adoption of lightweight polycarbonate materials. Toyota Motors' use of polycarbonate rear quarter windows in its 86 GRMN sports car has set a trend. Polycarbonate, a plastic with the chemical carbonate group, is 50% lighter than glass in sunroofs. This weight reduction is crucial for automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) seeking to meet fuel economy regulations. Notable sunroof vendors, such as Webasto, are developing polycarbonate sunroofs and components, contributing to market expansion.
