Market Dynamics

During the forecast period, the Global Automotive Rear View Mirror Market faces challenges such as supply chain disruptions impacting automobile production, particularly in developing and mature economies, necessitating advancements in vehicle design like smart mirrors and full-screen monitors, alongside multi-sensor systems to enhance passenger and driver protection amidst government lockdown measures, affecting production volumes and demand, thereby influencing auto sales and the supply chain network of auto component suppliers and manufacturers across production sites. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

The growing popularity of premium sport utility vehicles (SUVs) is notably driving market growth. The widespread adoption of rear-view mirrors is a direct result of SUVs' prevalence, particularly due to their height, which often obstructs visibility during reversing. However, in developed regions, traditional mirrors are gradually being replaced by camera systems, offering a wider and more comfortable view to drivers. Presently, rear-view and electronic mirrors dominate the automotive market, catering to diverse consumer needs.

Moreover, the affordability and reduced ownership costs of small SUVs and crossovers are driving their popularity, especially in emerging economies like China and India. China leads global SUV sales, with major automakers such as Toyota, Ford, and Nissan driving the market with their established C-segment and D-segment SUVs. In 2022, SUVs accounted for 46% of global car sales, and this upward trajectory is expected to fuel growth in the global automotive rear-view mirror market during the forecast period.

Significant Market Trends

Integration of different technologies in automotive mirrors is an emerging trend shaping market growth. Night driving on poorly lit roads can be uncomfortable and hazardous for drivers, particularly due to the bright glare from vehicles behind, which can distract and blind the driver, potentially leading to accidents. Automotive inside rearview mirrors (IRVM) and dimming mirrors, equipped with sensors to detect glare and automatically adjust their brightness, help prevent such accidents. Advancements in technology, such as integrating cameras and LED technology with dimming mirrors, further enhance vehicle safety and comfort.

Another expected standard feature offered by most OEMs in vehicles during the forecast period is the integration of radar systems with dimming mirrors for blind spot detection. This collision avoidance system tracks nearby traffic in blind spots and provides alerts to the driver, helping to avoid lane-changing accidents. By using radar or ultrasonic sensors and cameras, the system monitors the area behind and next to the vehicle. This ongoing development is a growing trend that will drive the growth of the global automotive rear view mirror market in the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Reliability issue with auto-dimming mirrors hinders the adoption and is a significant challenge hindering market growth.  Mirror technologies, such as automotive auto-dimming mirrors, rely heavily on their installed sensors for effective functioning. However, if these sensors experience failures or malfunctions, the time taken for the mirrors to dim may be longer than expected. Even occasional system faults can lead users to discard sensor technology, adversely impacting auto-dimming mirror adoption.

Moreover, issues like short circuits and loose wires can also affect the performance of auto-dimming mirrors. Many vehicles in the market come with tinted windows, and consumers often add aftermarket tint films, which can make the windows dimmer and potentially impact the functioning of dimming mirrors. Therefore, reliability concerns with auto-dimming mirrors pose a significant challenge to the growth of the automotive rear view mirror market during the forecast period.
