Constrained Layer Damping Market, By Viscoelastic Material (Butyl, Polyurethane, Vinyl, Others), By Product Type (Steel, Aluminum, Non-metallic, and Others), By End-use Industry (Automotive, Construction, Marine, Aerospace, Appliances, and Others), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia-pacific, Latin America, Middle East & Africa) - Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022 - 2030
Constrained Layer Damping (CLD) is a system used for the suppression of vibrations in automotive and marine applications. The rampant growth of the automotive and construction sectors coupled with the rising demand for lightweight vehicles in order to increase the fuel efficiency of vehicles are increasing the demand for damping systems. Increasing demand for premium interiors in emerging economies such as India, China, and ASEAN countries is augmenting growth of the CLD market. Moreover, several consumers are increasingly inclined towards integrating premium grade interiors in non-premium cars, to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the interiors and improve comfort. Due to this, several automobile companies are increasingly adopting constrained layer damping systems to offer aesthetically appealing products of lower quality, made from plastic from companies such as GM & Daimler Chrysler underdevelopments which include dash panels, roof panels, floor panels, floor pans & trunk floors.
Market Dynamics
North America is projected to hold the second dominant position in global constrained layer damping market, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific over the forecast period. The growth of this market is driven by increasing demand for lightweight acoustic materials to improve vehicle performance, rampant growth in automotive sales, and growing consumer preference for premium materials in automotive interiors. Increasing demand for economical and long-lasting vehicles due to rising fuel prices in North America. According to Energy Information Administration (EIA) the gas prices is expected to average $1.19 per litre over the year (2018) which is highest since 2014. Thus, manufacturers are increasingly focusing on reducing the overall weight of vehicles by incorporating CLDs, this in turn, is boosting growth of the constrained layer damping market. High cost benefits associated with rapid adoption of such materials for both suppliers and buyers is expected to positively impact the economic growth of the CLD market during the forecast period.
