A virtual mirror is a technology employed in retail stores, enabling customers to virtually try on dresses, tops, and other apparel using their avatars in the mirror. It leverages augmented reality technology to showcase to users how an outfit would appear on them without requiring physical try-ons. Through motion rendering technology, the virtual mirror displays the outfit, allowing onlookers to visualize its appearance in various motions and lighting conditions, encompassing both daytime and nighttime looks.
The primary segments within the virtual mirror market consist of software, hardware, and services. Software, serving as the foundational computer program, plays a crucial role in virtual mirrors by providing the programming that governs their functionality. This includes algorithms like the face alignment algorithm and tracking algorithm engine. Various technologies, such as 3D body scanning, photo-accurate VFR, 3D augmented reality, and virtual reality, find applications in retail and other industries. The deployment modes for virtual mirrors include both cloud-based and on-premises solutions.
Tariffs are impacting the virtual mirror market by increasing costs of imported display panels, cameras, sensors, processors, and AR-enabled hardware components. Retail markets in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on imported electronic components, while Asia-Pacific faces cost pressure on hardware manufacturing and exports. These tariffs raise deployment and upgrade costs for retailers. However, they are also encouraging localized assembly, software-centric innovation, and greater emphasis on cloud-based virtual mirror solutions that reduce hardware dependency.

The increasing online shopping activities are expected to propel the growth of the virtual mirror market going forward. Online shopping refers to the process of purchasing goods or services through digital platforms such as e-commerce websites or mobile applications. The growth of online shopping activities is due to the expanding internet penetration and the widespread use of smartphones, which have made digital purchasing more convenient for consumers. The virtual mirror supports this shift by providing augmented reality-based try-on solutions that allow online shoppers to visualize apparel and accessories on themselves before making a purchase, thereby enhancing confidence and reducing return rates. For instance, in February 2025, according to the Census Bureau, a US-based government agency, total e-commerce sales in 2024 were estimated at $1,192.6 billion, reflecting an 8.1 percent increase (+-1.1) compared to 2023. In 2024, e-commerce sales represented 16.1 percent of overall retail sales, up from 15.3 percent in 2023. Therefore, the increasing online shopping activities are driving the growth of the virtual mirror market.
Major companies operating in the virtual mirror market are focusing on developing innovative solutions, such as augmented reality smart mirrors, to enhance personalized shopping experiences and virtual try-ons. Augmented reality smart mirrors are interactive mirrors that overlay digital information or virtual images onto a user's reflection, enabling virtual try-ons, styling previews, or personalized recommendations. For instance, in February 2023, Vyking Limited, a UK-based AI and computer vision company, launched an in-store augmented reality (AR) solution called Magic Mirror, enabling consumers to virtually try on footwear through a smart mirror. The solution uses an AR-enabled mirror to display 3D models of shoes on customers' feet in real time. Activated by simply approaching the full-length digital mirror, users can select footwear via an in-store tablet and see how the shoes look without physically trying them on. This technology reduces customer wait times, eases pressure on store staff, expands product offerings without additional inventory, and provides retailers with omnichannel marketing opportunities in physical locations.
In May 2025, Kiranapro Software Private Limited, an India-based quick-commerce company, acquired Likeo for $1 million.
