Kuwait Rear-View Mirror Market has been growing at a steady pace over the past few years. Rear-view mirrors play a vital role in ensuring road safety by providing drivers with a view of the back of their vehicles.
According to 6Wresearch, the Kuwait Rear-View Mirror Market size is projected to grow at a considerable growth rate of 3.78% during the forecast period of 2025-2031. Safety concerns are the primary driver for market. Foggy weather conditions can lower visibility for drivers, which can lead to accidents. Furthermore, with country’s increasing population, the number of cars on the road is also increasing leading to more accidents, hence there is a higher need for better and safer rear-view mirrors. Apart from this, one of the most notable trends in Kuwait rear-view mirror industry is the shift from traditional mirrors to digital mirrors. Digital mirrors offer sharper and broader images than conventional mirrors, leading to improved driver safety. Additionally, they can assist with lane-changing, blind-spot warning, and other features that can improve the driving experience. However, Kuwait is a price-sensitive market, and consumers often prioritize price over quality.
Additionally, there is also a mindset of buying low-priced products, which affects sales of high-quality, electronic rear-view mirrors. Nevertheless, the rise of the digital age plays out as a significant opportunity for Kuwait rear-view mirror market growth. With rapid technological advancements such as sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence, there will undoubtedly be a growing demand for high-quality, smart rear-view mirrors among consumers.
One of the major government policies introduced in the Kuwait automotive industry is the National Program for Enhancing Economic Diversification. The policy is in line with the country's Vision 2035, which aims to reduce dependence on oil revenues by promoting non-oil sectors such as the automotive industry. The program offers support to local manufacturers and suppliers by providing incentives such as financing, grants, and tax exemptions. Another significant initiative by the Kuwait government is the Unified Customs Law, which streamlines customs procedures and improves the ease of doing business in the country. The law aims to reduce costs and time involved in customs clearance for businesses by simplifying procedures, reducing paperwork, and providing an electronic platform for trade-related transactions.
The Kuwait rear-view mirror industry has many local and international players. One of the major local players in the market is MSSL Kuwait Industries Co. (MKI), a subsidiary of Motherson Sumi Systems Limited (MSSL) India. The company is a leading manufacturer of rear-view mirrors, wiring harnesses, and other automotive components. MKI has set up a state-of-the-art facility in Kuwait, which employs the latest technology and machinery to manufacture high-quality products.
According to Rahul, Senior Research Analyst, 6Wresearch, the exterior rear-view mirror segment is growing the most, accounting for the largest market share as exterior mirrors enhance safety by providing a wider view of the road.
By Feature, auto-dimming mirrors are gaining popularity among Kuwaiti drivers, with a rapidly growing market share as these mirrors automatically adjust the level of light reflected from the mirror, reducing the glare from headlights, which can help prevent accidents.
By Vehicle Type, the passenger cars dominate the Kuwait Rear-View Mirror Market Share due to the high volume of passenger vehicles in the country. However, the light commercial vehicle segment is rapidly growing, with an increasing number of businesses using these vehicles for transportation and delivery purposes.
