An auto dimming mirror controls or eliminates any glare caused by headlights of a tailing vehicle, thereby improving visibility of drivers to drive safely. These mirrors are equipped with sensors, which detect light from the headlights of tailing vehicles, which through a process, called electrochromism, eradicate the glare by darkening the mirror. These types of mirrors comprise various advanced sensors and electrochromic material, which absorbs and reflects light in a different manner, when an electric voltage is passed through it. These sensors search for a brighter source of light during night or in bad light. When they detect a change in the intensity of the light, they generate an electric charge via a low voltage power supply, housed inside the interior of the mirror. This electric charge then travels through the electrochromic material and controls the dimming of interior and exterior mirrors. Auto dimming mirrors form an integral part of a vehicle, as it greatly increases safety of passengers as well as drivers. Furthermore, these types of mirrors can also house variety of features such as microphone, compass, and safety camera systems.
Rise in demand for advanced features, coupled with the surge in the automotive industry propels the growth of the auto dimming mirror market. In addition, increase in need for safety in automobiles also boosts the growth of market. However, high cost compared to conventional mirrors hinders the market growth. Further, production of cloud based auto dimming mirrors is anticipated to provide a remarkable growth opportunity for the players operating in the auto dimming mirror market.

Increase in demand for advanced features
Increase in demand for advanced features such as dimming mirrors, LED headlights, parking assists, and lightning assists in a vehicle is expected to boost the demand for auto dimming mirrors worldwide. Although, addition of these advanced features increase the overall cost of the vehicle, consumers are prepared to spend more to have access on advanced, convenient, and comfortable features. Increasing sales of premium vehicles also have a positive impact on the global auto dimming market. Sales of premium products by automotive OEMs have been strong with manufacturers such as Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW, and Volvo – all reporting positive growth in their sales in 2018. Significant growth in the automotive sector is also expected to boost the demand for auto dimming mirrors globally. For instance, according to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the automotive industry in India was ranked 4th in the world with sales of 4.02 million units in 2017. According to the same source, automobile exports grew by 14.5% during 2018 to 2019 and are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.05% during 2016 to 2026. Thus, increasing demand for advanced features, coupled with growing automotive industry is anticipated to propel the growth of the auto dimming mirror market.
By Fuel Type
Electric is projected as the most lucrative segments
Rise in need for safety in automobiles.
Stricter government regulations coupled with increasing demand for passenger safety is anticipated to create strong momentum for penetration of auto dimming mirrors during the forecast period. As stated by the World health organization (WHO), 1.25 million people died in 2013 due to road accidents. Accidents can be averted by increasing vehicle safety. Auto dimming mirror systems help in preventing accidents as they provide a wider range of visibility to driver, while reducing the strain from headlights of tailing vehicles. Moreover, increasing government regulations are also expected to propel the growth of the auto dimming mirror market. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), agency of the U.S. federal government proposed changes encompassing assessment of crash-avoidance technologies, such as blind spot detection and lower beam headlamp performance. Major auto dimming glass manufacturers offer products with features such as blind spot detection to prevent accidents. For instance, Gentex, Samvardhana Motherson Reflectec (SMR) offers mirrors which include features such as side blind zone indicators, turn signal indicators, and courtesy lighting. Thus, rise in need for safety features in automobiles propels the growth of market.
By Region
Asia-Pacific would exhibit the highest CAGR of 6.5% during 2019-2026.
High cost as compared to conventional mirrors
Use of auto dimming mirror with additional features such as parking assist, lightning assist, blind spot detection, and Homelink increases the overall cost of the mirror as these additional features require additional sensors and display systems. Moreover, connected auto dimming mirror requires complex linking of electronic systems and thus, makes it difficult for Do-It-Yourself (DIY) installation. Conventional mirrors are relatively cheaper and easier to install than auto dimming mirrors. Furthermore, rise in adoption of display and camera-based systems by various OEMs is also expected to negatively affect the market. Thus, high cost, tedious installation procedures, and availability of substitutes such as display and camera-based systems are expected to restrain the growth of the global auto dimming mirrors market.
Production of cloud based auto dimming mirror
Increasing trend of including Internet of Things (IoT) and cloud-based features such as blind spot detection, Bluetooth and hands-free connectivity, navigation systems, temperature displays, tire pressure displays, wireless controls to operate gates, garage doors, home lighting, and other home automation features in auto dimming mirrors is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the global auto dimming mirror market. Various companies are focused on developing new products with these features to be competitive in the global market. For instance, in November 2019, Gentex Corporation, launched three new products at the SEMA show 2019. Among these products, the company launched a brand-new auto-dimming mirror with cloud-based home automation system and integrated HomeLink button capable of operating through radio frequency. Thus, production of cloud based auto dimming mirror is anticipated to provide remarkable growth opportunity for players operating in the auto dimming mirror market.
