Automotive Nvh Materials Industry Overview

The global automotive noise, vibration harshness (NVH) materials market size was estimated at USD 9.84 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2023 to 2030. Globally, increasing production and use of heavy commercial vehicles in different end-use verticals is expected to be a key factor driving automotive noise, vibration harshness materials growth. Noise, vibration and harshness in automobiles due to structure-borne and air-borne noises can lead to passenger discomfort and hamper vehicle durability. The use of noise, vibration harshness reduction materials in automobiles helps reduce these NVH and improve ride quality. This has increased the demand for noise, vibration and harshness materials in the automotive industry.

The growing focus of automotive manufacturers on acoustic management, vibration, harshness noise control in passenger and commercial vehicles helps enhance the fuel economy, reduce cabin sounds, and improve durability. In addition to the aforementioned benefits of noise, vibration, and harshness materials, the changes in consumer preferences are further expected to drive industry growth.
