What is NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) testing?

NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) Testing is the process of optimizing a vehicle's noise and vibration characteristics so that they don't have an impact on the inside or outside environment of the vehicle. During the design and development stage, it is a crucial step for vehicles to identify any vibration, squeaking, or clattering in the vehicle's construction. Additionally, many parts of an automobile, such as the engine and motor, have a larger range of uses; they eventually produce noise, which is controlled with the support of NVH testing equipment.

Key Players

Some of the major manufacturers are-

• National Instruments
• Brüel & Kjær
• Siemens PLM Software
• HEAD acoustics
• M+P international
• IMC Meßsysteme
• Dewesoft
• GRAS Sound & Vibration
• Prosig
• Signal.X
• others

Market Dynamics

The prime factors contributing to the demand for NVH testing are:

• The increasing penetration of infotainment systems in the automotive industry.
• Implementation of governmental laws aimed at decreasing vehicle noise.
• An increase in consumer preference for luxury and improved cabin comfort.
• The rise in the trend of engine downsizing and technical developments are the factors anticipated to present growth prospects.

Opportunity: shift towards the electric vehicle

Electric motors in EVs are known for their quiet operation compared to traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. However, it can generate unique vibration patterns. NVH testing helps identify and analyze these vibrations, ensuring that they remain within acceptable levels. The growing market for electric vehicles presents an opportunity for NVH testing companies to develop specialized services and solutions tailored to the unique challenges of EVs. 

Segments Analysis

By Offering Type

The NVH testing market is segmented into hardware and software. Hardware dominated the testing market with the increased use of mechanical and electronic components in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery. Hardware is further segmented into data acquisition systems, signal conditioners, sensors, transducers, analyzers, meters, and shakers and controllers.

By Application Type

The market is segmented as environmental noise, pass-by-noise, noise mapping, sound power, telecom testing, sound quality, building acoustics, human vibration, product vibration, and others. Environmental noise dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to remain dominant during the forecast period.

By End-Use Industry Type

The NVH testing market is segmented as automotive & transportation, aerospace & defense, power generation, consumer electronics, construction, industrial equipment, mining & metallurgy, and others. Automotive & transportation is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period. Increasing uses of semiconductor-equipped devices with technology advancement has led to the use of NVH testing during design and development.

By Region

North America is estimated to remain the largest market during the forecast period. North America serves as a hub for various aerospace and defense companies including Lockheed Martin and Boeing, etc. The demand for NVH testing in the aerospace industry is gradually growing along with the increasing development of new aircraft and spacecraft. For instance, Boeing in January 2023 announced that it will add a new 737 MAX production line in mid-2024 to ramp up deliveries of its best-selling plane.

Since every aircraft must meet stringent noise and vibration standards, the requirement for NVH testing will rise eventually.

Along with this, the region also houses several automobile manufacturers. Stringent acts by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have set noise limits for vehicles, which has led to an increase in the demand for NVH testing in the automotive industry, allowing North America to emerge as a key region for NVH testing services and solutions.
