Passenger vehicles are motor vehicles primarily used for transporting passengers for commercial purposes. Automotive roof systems enhance ventilation and improve the overall driving experience for occupants, which increases their adoption in passenger vehicles. As passenger car sales continue to rise, demand for automotive roof and sunroof systems is also increasing. For example, in March 2024, according to ACEA’s Economic and Market Report, published by a Europe-based automotive association, global new car sales increased by nearly 10% in 2024 compared to stable levels in 2022, while new car sales in the European Union surged by almost 14%, reaching 10.5 million units. Additionally, sales of new battery-electric vehicles grew by 37%, accounting for a 14.6% market share. Therefore, increasing passenger car sales are driving the growth of the automotive roof system market.

Major companies in the automotive roof system market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as vehicle-integrated photovoltaic (PV) systems to improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend the driving range of electric and hybrid vehicles by utilizing solar energy. Vehicle-integrated PV systems incorporate solar panels into vehicle surfaces, including roofs and windows, to capture and convert sunlight into usable energy. For instance, in September 2024, Webasto SE, a Germany-based automotive supplier, launched EcoPeak, a vehicle-integrated PV system capable of generating up to 350 kWh of electricity annually, providing approximately 2,500 kilometers of additional driving range. The system features a honeycomb structure of triangular silicon solar cells designed to maximize energy capture while maintaining an aesthetically appealing design.

In March 2025, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd., an India-based automotive manufacturer, partnered with Webasto to introduce the Infinity Roof with ambient lighting in the BE 6 and XEV 9e electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to enhance the in-cabin experience by combining Mahindra’s electric vehicle capabilities with Webasto’s advanced panoramic glass roof and ambient lighting technologies. Webasto SE is a Germany-based automotive supplier specializing in innovative roof systems, thermal management, and interior solutions.
