Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Vehicle Type (Commercial Vehicle, Passenger Cars, Electric & Hybrid Vehicles, Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV), Light Duty Vehicles (LDV), Long Range and Other Vehicle Types), By Propulsion Type (Electric and Plug-In Hybrid, Internal Combustion Engine and Other Propulsion Types), By Process, By Software, By Offering, By Application and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market is accounted for $3.6 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $6.4 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.13% during the forecast period. Automotive acoustic engineering services are described as the process of reducing noise from various vehicle components so that it has no impact on the inside or exterior of the vehicle. Due to the wide range of uses for various parts of an automobile, such as the engine and motor, they eventually produce inappropriate noise that is managed with the aid of acoustic engineering services. Many automakers have used these various services to mitigate the noise of their automobiles, enabling them to gain a wider market reach internationally.

According to the NHTSA law issued in January 2013, when driving at a speed of 30 kmph, the minimum external sound requirements for electric and hybrid vehicles must be between 63.8 to 68.9 dB(A).

Market Dynamics

Driver

An increase in customer demand for luxury products and enhanced cabin comfort

Every consumer prefers a relaxing ride with a pleasant cabin. Customers' demands for luxuries such as in-car multimedia systems and electronic controls have fueled the expansion of the global market. However, the installation of these systems produces airborne noise, structural noise, and other types of noise, including those that increase the demand for automotive acoustic services in the automotive sector. The interior cabin noise is increased by additional noise sources like tires, door interiors, roof and floor, and trunk panels, which can be reduced by using automotive acoustic engineering services with the aid of virtual and real-world testing and simulation, thereby giving customers a comfortable driving experience.

Restraint

Surge in usage of rental & used acoustic testing equipment

The adoption of vehicle acoustics, particularly in developing countries, is associated with difficulty for consumers. Due to the high cost of new components and software for acoustic engineering services, many service providers choose to rent acoustic testing equipment rather than purchase it. A further hindrance to the market is the availability of a wider variety of testing tools based on the kind of vehicle. As a result, firms choose to rent acoustic testing equipment rather than have a range of equipment in the service area, which eventually inhibits the market's growth for automotive acoustic engineering services.

Opportunity

Government imposed strict noise reduction norms

One of the most prevalent environmental issues in our culture today is noise. One of the biggest contributors to global noise and air pollution is the automobile. When a vehicle is outfitted with different mechanical parts, such as the engine and powertrain, it makes more noise because there are so many moving parts. For instance, the internal combustion engine (ICE) makes more noise since it has more mechanical parts that are necessary for the combustion process to occur. The driver may be distracted and inattentive due to the car's persistent loudness. In many places, the government has imposed strict standards on car manufacturers to produce less noisy vehicles in order to reduce the escalating noise pollution.

Threat

High rental cost of acoustics engineering equipment

Due to the high cost of this arrangement, many companies offering acoustic engineering services have recently tended to rent testing equipment or employ rented equipment to test their vehicles. Each component has its own unique testing apparatus, which must be tested using varied loads and temperatures. Due to its high price and complicated maintenance, purchasing and maintaining this equipment becomes particularly challenging for mid-sized and small-scale businesses.

Covid-19 Impact

The market for automotive acoustic engineering services experienced growth challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, sales of passenger and commercial vehicles are expected to decline, and facilities that make vehicles and their components will temporarily shut down. The pandemic has forced the closure of significant car testing facilities, which will probably have an impact on the market. The need for luxury amenities and increased interior cabin comfort are two factors that are anticipated to boost the global market for automotive acoustic engineering services.

The testing segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Testing segment is expected to dominate the market during the prediction period. Testing services that measure noise, sound, and vibration are referred to as physical acoustic services. Contrarily, virtual acoustic testing refers to the services that evaluate calibration, signal analysis, and vibration simulations. The virtual testing environment for the automotive sector has transitioned from physical to virtual simulation techniques. Additionally, low supply and high demand will be essential for market expansion. As a result, it is anticipated that throughout the projection period, virtual acoustic testing will continue to be the market with the most rapid expansion.

The powertrain segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Powertrain segment is expected to grow lucratively over the projected period. In general, testing for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) of the powertrain is focused on the whole driving experience of the vehicle. Everything that contributes to a vehicle's mobility is tested in these tests. However, the most crucial factors are the permitted noise levels and sound quality because more of the auto parts installed in the drive train cause unpleasant noises during vehicle dynamics, which reduces the driving experience.

Region with largest share

Due to the region's increasing demand for electric vehicles, there is potential for providers of acoustic services, Asia Pacific commanded the largest share throughout the projection period. One of the largest auto markets in the world is China, where more than 21.39 million passenger cars were sold in 2021, a rise of 6% annually from the previous year. However, despite its economic conflicts with the US and the COVID-19 pandemic, China remains one of the world's major automobile markets, providing an outstanding opportunity for companies that offer automotive acoustic engineering services to establish a presence worldwide.

Region with highest CAGR

Asia Pacific region is projected to witness substantial growth throughout the extrapolated period, due to the government's initiative, which is projected to accelerate the rapid rise of EVs in the country, Japan is expected to demonstrate a substantial deployment of automotive acoustic engineering services in electric vehicles throughout the forecast period. For research on driverless vehicles, automakers are collaborating with institutions in India. Furthermore, the Centre for Automotive Research and Tribology (CART) at IIT Delhi, for instance, received funding from MG Motor India in March 2021 to conduct research on electric and driverless vehicles. IIT Delhi will support MG's continued focus on CASE mobility (connected, autonomous, shared, and electric) by facilitating supporting research for the introduction of electric and autonomous vehicles into Indian cities, which would be a clear indication of the expansion of automotive acoustic engineering services.
