Intelligence Set: Global Market Review Of Automotive Roof Systems
This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of the automotive roof systems report
, plus manufacturer profiles for Edscha, Webasto, Wilhelm Karmann and Arvin Meritor.
Since Mercedes-Benz offered the first car sunroof in 1932, the ways in which automakers have sought to let the sunshine into the cabin have become increasingly complex.
In terms of future trends, Thomas Becher, chief engineer of ArvinMeritors roof systems business, told just-auto: Solid roof modules without additional integrated features seem to have a cost disadvantage versus simple sheet-metal roof-skin structures. We see a trend towards roof modules with integrated opening systems, particularly because the modular technology supports the trend towards top-loading assembly processes on the car manufacturers assembly line.
In this fifth-edition report, just-auto reviews the key market drivers for vehicle roof systems, and updates its tried and trusted market data and analysis.
Following the market overview in Chapter 1 Introduction, just-autos product forecasts in Chapter 2 The market, predict in some detail how the conventional sunroof, large roof, retractable hard-top and soft-top roof system market will evolve in Western Europe, North America and Japan from 2007 through to 2017.
Jan Just, executive vice president of Magna Car Top Systems, told just-auto: Before the economic downturn we have been seeing a slow but steady growth of the retractable hard top (RHT) market in North America. With the recent discontinuation of vehicle lines/brands (Cadillac XLR, Pontiac G6) the North American market appears to have declined. As the carmakers are currently redefining themselves, future growth is expected. OEMs will keep using convertible technologies to distinguish themselves and draw customers into showrooms.
2009 manufacturer market shares are provided by region, and production volumes and market values of sunroofs, large sunroofs, retractable hard- and soft-tops from 2007 to 2017 are given for Europe, Japan and North America.
