Introduction

Abstract

SUMMARY

The objective of this report identifies and quantifies the opportunities, challenges, and prospects for growth of smart mirrors. Specifically, it analyzes the capabilities of current and likely future smart mirror technologies and how these technologies may be deployed in both automotive and non-automotive applications.

Smart technologies covered in the report include the following:

  • Self-dimming technology, which is further broken out into electrochromic and "other" self-dimming technologies in the automotive sector. Note that the "other" category includes such technologies as photochromic systems, thermochromic systems, and suspended particle devices. Also note that, because of the early stage of the market and because of the minimal penetration of self-dimming into non-automotive applications for smart mirrors, this category is not further broken out in the household/consumer, healthcare/medical, or advertising/marketing forecasts.
  • Self-cleaning technologies.
  • Self-repairing technologies.
  • Embedded electronics, which is further broken out (in the automotive sector forecasts only) into sensors, displays, cameras, and touch technology. Note that, because of the early stage of the market for non-automotive smart mirror applications, this category is not further broken out in the household/consumer, healthcare/medical, or advertising/marketing forecasts.

In addition, the analysis is carried out based on the four marketing factors shown above and in the following four markets:

  • Automotive applications for smart mirrors;
  • Household and/or consumer applications for smart mirrors;
  • Healthcare and medical-related applications for smart mirrors, both in professional settings and in home healthcare settings; and
  • Retail and advertising applications for smart mirrors.

As usual, we provide eight-year forecasts for the various smart technologies for smart mirrors in these sectors, and the projections are developed in both volume and value terms.

In these forecasts, and in the report in general, we are principally concerned with the smart mirrors themselves and the relevant smart technologies (coatings, electronic systems, etc.) associated with them. Packaging and integration costs are not a focus of this report. In addition, all of the forecasts were developed in the context of important and relevant developments in the various sectors covered.

Although the primary goal of this report is to forecast the market for smart mirrors, we also examine how the new developments will influence the established players in smart mirror business, and how these firms are strategizing for these new opportunities. In addition, we review selected smaller firms that may become key players in the emerging multifunctional smart mirror field.

This report is international in scope.

Press Release

Smart Mirror Opportunities Push the Market to $3.4 Billion by Decade's End

March 28th, 2013

Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Smart Mirrors Markets - 2013" by NanoMarkets.

NanoMarkets estimates that the total global market for smart mirror technologies will be approximately $1 billion in 2013, and that this market will grow to a value of just of $3.4 billion ($US) by the end of the decade.

There is already a proven, strong demand for light sensor-triggered, electrochromically self-dimming smart rear-view mirrors in the automotive sector. Self-dimming improves driver comfort and safety, and we expect this feature to continue to dominate smart mirrors market. However, going forward, the importance of value-added functionalities incorporated through the addition of more sophisticated electronics, including displays, touch capability, Wi-Fi connectivity, GPS, etc., will grow.

Similarly, outside of the automotive sector, a wide array of new electronic functionalities in mirrors, like motion/occupant sensing, displays with user controlled and/or customizable content, network and/or internet connectivity, etc. will transform the humble mirror into a sophisticated digital device. Digital mirrors will act as information "hubs" for the user, enabling not only image reflection but also the delivery of useful and/or interesting information, thereby blurring the line between mirror and electronic device.

Other Findings:

  • Retail- and advertising applications are expected to be a strong area of growth for smart mirror technologies and these markets are expected to grow to over $450 million by 2020.
  • Healthcare-related applications, in both home and professional settings, are also expected to be an excellent target market for early-entry smart digital mirrors. The value of smart mirror technologies in healthcare-related applications is expected to grow to $240 million by the end of the decade.
  • Sophisticated smart mirrors will also grow in consumer and household applications and is expected to grow to nearly $270 million by 2020.
