Market Dynamics

Introduction

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.

Market Drivers

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.

Regional Analysis

"North America is estimated to remain the largest market during the forecast period"

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.
