Global Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market Research (MRFR Insights)


The  automotive acoustic engineering services market is projected to register a CAGR of 11.50% from 2022 to 2030. The process of removing noise from various car components to the extent that it has no negative effects on the inside or exterior of the vehicle is known as acoustic engineering. Electric motors, engines, and other vehicle parts contribute to noise pollution by making unwanted noise. The acoustics engineering services then manage this undesirable noise. To create noiseless vehicles and boost their market shares, numerous automotive manufacturers all around the world have begun to use acoustic testing equipment. The  automotive acoustic engineering services market size is expected to reach approximately USD 22.41 Billion by 2030. Additionally, several software-based noise reduction technologies have been created with the  introduction of advanced automobiles, accelerating the market's growth.


COVID-19 Impact Analysis


The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the expansion of the acoustic engineering sector since the start of 2020. The pandemic has significantly hampered the world auto industry. The car sector is experiencing a rise in this environment of a steep fall in auto production and sales. Cross-border trade has been hampered, and raw material costs have increased due to ongoing national lockdowns in various nations. Major international OEMs have halted manufacturing as the number of COVID-19 patients rises daily. Major manufacturers suffer enormous financial losses due to the cessation of production and research activity. For instance, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) said in March 2020 that the automotive industry's shutdown resulted in a loss of almost USD 314.6 million in turnover every year.


 Automotive acoustic engineering services Market Dynamics


The safety and comfort of the car's interior are in high demand right now. The demand for passenger automobiles has been spurred by consumers' growing preference for luxury features like ambient lighting, infotainment, sunroofs, and massaging seats, among others. On the other hand, installing these elements has increased structural and airborne noise, driving up demand for acoustics engineering services in the car industry. The market has significantly grown due to the rising demand for physical and virtual testing of vehicle doors, sunroofs, infotainment systems, etc.


 Market Drivers



  •   An increase in the government-imposed strict noise reduction standards


One of the most important environmental issues in our culture today is noise. The automobile is one of the biggest contributors to  noise and air pollution. 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 necessary for the combustion process. The driver may be distracted and inattentive due to the car's persistent loudness.


Market Restraints:



  • High acoustic engineering equipment rental costs to curb the market growth


Due to the high cost of this arrangement, many companies offering acoustics engineering services have recently tended to rent testing equipment or employ rented equipment to test their vehicles. Each component has its 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.


Market Opportunities: 



  • Upsurge in engine downsizing


Engine downsizing involves installing a smaller, lighter engine in a vehicle to deliver the same power and economy as a large engine. Engine downsizing is accomplished by removing unnecessary cylinders from the engine and replacing them with forced aspiration parts like superchargers or turbochargers. Low displacement and cylinder count result in significant vibrations and varying speeds, which lower the vehicle's sound quality.


Segment Overview


By System Type Insights


Based on system type, the  automotive acoustic engineering services market segmentation is physical testing and virtual testing. The  automotive acoustic engineering services market growth was prominently high under the virtual testing category in 2021. It has been imperative for the automobile industry to lower the cost of vehicle development without compromising the vehicle's functionality, such as safety and comfort. Only virtual acoustics testing can accomplish this because it is more affordable than physical testing. However, physical testing is anticipated to be the fastest growing in the coming years. Several car components may be tested without a controlled environment, saving money compared to virtual testing. These components can be tested under atmospheric circumstances.


By Application Insights


The automotive acoustic engineering services market segmentation, based on application, is interior, drivetrain, powertrain, body, and others. In 2021, interior accounted for the largest market share of the  market. The rising need for cozy, secure, and quiet car interiors. Providers of acoustic engineering services test every system and component both virtually and physically and improve the interior cabin's acoustic performance. However, the powertrain category is estimated to register the highest growth rate. Powertrain parts generate a lot of noise pollution, which disturbs the driver and passengers. Important OEMs are concentrating on creating a technologically advanced hybrid or fully electric drivetrain that is quieter than the standard drivetrain.


By Vehicle Type Insights


Based on material, the market is divided into passenger cars and commercial vehicles. The passenger cars category dominated the market in 2021 due to the increasing need for alternative powertrains in passenger cars. The new parts of the alternative powertrain contribute to new noise sources, including tires, HVAC, batteries, electric motors, and several other low-decibel noises from wind, acoustics, wind, and brakes from moving vehicles that must be controlled and identified with the aid of noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) tests. The commercial vehicles category is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period.  demand for automotive acoustics engineering services for commercial vehicles is anticipated to increase in response to the growing desire for autonomous and noiseless vehicles.
