An automotive sun visor is a vehicle interior component mounted above the windshield on both the driver and passenger sides. It typically consists of a flat or contoured panel that can be adjusted to block sunlight and reduce glare from the front or side windows, thereby improving driver visibility and comfort.
The key components of automotive sun visors include traditional visors and liquid crystal display (LCD) visors. Conventional sun visors are non-dimmable, made from fabric or plastic, and manually adjusted to block sunlight. They come in materials such as fabric, metal, and plastic and are used in various vehicle types, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Automotive sun visors are utilized in different applications, such as aftermarket and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and are distributed through both offline and online sales channels.

The automotive sun visor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.82 billion in 2024 to $2.97 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to factors such as the rise in vehicle ownership, increased demand for basic in-car safety features, a growing preference for road travel, the greater availability of affordable passenger cars, and an increasing consumer focus on comfort.
The automotive sun visor market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, rising demand for luxury and premium car interiors, a growing emphasis on sustainable auto components, the trend towards vehicle customization, and a greater focus on advanced driver assistance systems. Key trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in smart sun visors, innovations in foldable and extendable visor designs, investments in the development of sustainable materials, research in integrated electronic displays, and the development of AI-powered adaptive shading.
The growing demand for passenger vehicles is expected to drive the expansion of the automotive sun visor market. Passenger vehicles are designed primarily to transport individuals for personal use, providing seating for one or more people and available in various body styles, rather than for hauling goods or heavy cargo. The rise in passenger vehicles is largely fueled by consumers' preference for convenience, as these vehicles offer greater flexibility, comfort, and time-saving advantages over public transportation. Automotive sun visors benefit passenger vehicles by helping drivers and passengers reduce glare from the sun, improving visibility and comfort, preventing eye strain, enhancing safety, and maintaining cabin temperature by blocking direct sunlight. For example, in December 2023, a report by MarkLines Co., a Japan-based advertising agency, showed that UK passenger car sales increased by 17.9% in 2023 compared to 2022. In December 2023 alone, sales rose by 9.8%, totaling 141,092 units, and for the full year, 1,903,054 cars were registered, reflecting a 17.9% year-to-date growth. Consequently, the increasing demand for passenger vehicles is contributing to the growth of the automotive sun visor market.
Leading companies in the automotive sun visor market are focused on developing innovative products, such as dimmable sun visors that automatically adjust their tint level based on light intensity. A dimmable sun visor is an advanced feature designed to enhance comfort and safety. This technology utilizes electrochromic materials or photochromic sensors to detect changes in ambient light, such as bright sunlight during the day or the headlights of oncoming vehicles at night. For example, in January 2024, Gentex Corporation, a US-based electronics and technology company, introduced its next-generation lineup of dimmable glass, vision, sensing, and connectivity products. Among these innovations was a pioneering dimmable sun visor, featuring a switchable vanity mirror and integrated displays. This advanced visor adapts to varying light conditions, effectively eliminating glare from sunlight while also serving as a vanity mirror, enhancing comfort for both the driver and passengers. By merging convenience with safety, this product highlights Gentex's commitment to integrating cutting-edge technologies into automotive interiors, enhancing the overall driving experience.
In April 2023, Autoneum Holding AG, a Switzerland-based provider of acoustic and thermal management solutions for vehicles, acquired Borgers Automotive for $125.19 million. This acquisition allows Autoneum to bolster its presence in the automotive interior components market by integrating Borgers' expertise, enhancing its product offerings, and enabling the company to deliver more sustainable and innovative solutions for automotive interiors. Borgers Automotive, based in Germany, specializes in manufacturing sun visors, headliners, and trunk linings.
