This is in addition to the recent €3 billion investment that will be made across four regional hubs outside Europe, including India.The firm plans to bring out five different vehicles by the end of next year, which comprise entirely new products and updated Kiger and Triber.

Market Scope

Automotive mirror dimming augments the safety and ease of the driver, as they do not require the driver to adjust the inside rear-view mirror (IRVM) and outside rear-view mirror (ORVM). Auto-dimming mirrors can control the movement of the rear-view mirror at various speeds when the system is switched on. Improvement in the technological advancement, rise in production of vehicles, and increase in demand for luxury features, are the key factors that drive the market. Implementation of Auto mirror dimming, is driven by the rise in use of advanced electrical features in vehicles. However, their demand has increased due to rise in the number of road accidents, across the world. The overall cost of vehicles has increased due to the integration of advanced electrical feature, which acts as a restraint to the market.
