Market Overview:

The Global NVH testing market was valued at US$ 2.0 Billion in 2022, and is projected to reach US$ 3.5 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.9% from 2023 to 2030.


Noise, shaking, and harshness are all checked for during NVH testing. NVH testing is the process of making sure that a vehicle's noise and shaking levels are as good as they can be without affecting the environment inside and outside the vehicle. It is an important step in designing and building cars. This test looks for things in the way a car is made, like hums, shakes, creaks, and rattles. Also, many parts of cars, such as engines and motors, can make loud, annoying noises. To control these sounds, NVH test equipment is used.

The NVH testing market is growing because the government has made new rules about making cars quieter and more and more people want their cars to have more comfort and luxury features. But more people are renting and buying used NVH test tools, which is slowing the market's growth. During the time of the forecast, there should also be opportunities for growth, since engines are getting smaller and technology is getting better.

Market Dynamics:

Driver: The government has put in place strict rules to cut down on noise pollution

The increase in outdoor noise is having a negative effect on the health of people in many countries around the world. High amounts of noise pollution can cause short-term and long-term health problems, such as hearing loss, heart problems, trouble sleeping, poor work and school performance, etc. The World Health Organization says that by 2021, about 430 million people, or more than 5% of the world's population, will have hearing loss that keeps them from working. 34 million of them are children. WHO has said that one thing that can hurt hearing is too much noise. Because of these things, many countries have made rules that are hard to break. For instance, the World Health Organization published "Environmental Noise Guidelines" for the European Region in October 2018. These rules say what the average exposure to noise from five important sources should be in terms of health. Adopting rules and putting out guidelines to reduce noise levels is likely to increase the demand for NVH testing solutions, which will drive the growth of the NVH testing market.

Restraints: People can buy used NVH testing tools or rent them

Used NVH testing equipment is easy to find, which has helped the market for NVH testing grow. Used NVH testing equipment is used more often than new equipment because it is cheaper, needs less maintenance, and comes in different models with different features. You can also rent NVH testing tools for a week, a month, or a year, which gives users different ways to save money. People are also less likely to buy new NVH testing tools because of this. This slows the growth of this market.

Opportunities: Sensor and processing systems are getting better

NVH testing tools can use new sensor technologies that are being made by a number of companies. This is good news for companies that help with NVH testing. For example, in November 2019, Brüel & Kjaer came out with a 1/4" low-noise microphone. It works best in pressure field applications, such as with couplers, measuring audio devices close to sound ports, or flush-mounting.

When the user uses the built-in electronic corrections, such as response at different angles of incidence in a free field, corrections in a diffuse field, or the grid effect, the microphone can also be used as a general measuring tool. PCB Piezotronics (US) has made a number of new sensor technologies available through its company Larson Davis (US). These can be used to find noise coming from mines, airports, towns, wind farms, and industrial settings, among other places. In the same way, m+p international works on putting out new versions of its NVH solutions often to improve them and add new features.

Challenges: Choosing the right NVH testing tools can be hard.

NVH testing equipment is used in many areas, such as automotive and transportation, aerospace and defense, power and energy, and consumer products. This equipment is made up of sensors, transducers, data gathering systems, signal conditioning systems, and tools for analyzing the data. But each business has its own rules for measuring NVH levels based on the products and systems that need to be tested. Finding the right sensors and transducers and making sure they work well with data gathering tools can be hard.

During the time frame of the forecast, the hardware type is expected to have the largest market share.

During the time range of the forecast, the hardware segment is likely to continue to make up the biggest part of the NVH testing market. The hardware part of the market has grown because more mechanical and electronic systems with hardware parts are being used in cars and transportation, aircraft and military, and industrial equipment. The hardware used for large-scale NVH testing includes meters, sensors and transducers, analyzers, data gathering systems, and other parts. For example, many businesses sell data acquisition systems, which are the most expensive hardware. In the long run, this helps the hardware business grow. The Environmental Protection Agency and other governing bodies also have rules that makers must follow. People shouldn't use things that make a lot of noise. These are some of the main things that are growing the market for NVH testing tools.

In the next few years, the biggest market share is expected to be in automotive and transportation

During the predicted time period, the automotive and transportation market is expected to have by far the biggest share of the market. The growing trend of technology-driven solutions in the automotive industry and the rising need for NVH testing for various applications (including NVH powertrain testing, impact hammer testing, whole body vibration testing, interior noise testing, pass-by noise testing) drives the growth of the automotive & transportation vertical. Manufacturers are coming up with new ways to test electric and hybrid electric cars because they are becoming more popular. This has made a big change in the car business market for NVH testing choices.

Asia and the Pacific will have the highest CAGR for the NVH testing market

During the time frame of the forecast, the APAC market will grow the fastest. APAC is likely to be the part of the market that grows the fastest because of countries like China, Japan, and India. China is the only country in the APAC area that makes more cars than any other. The market is also growing because Japan, India, and South Korea are building more and more plants. The APAC NVH testing market is being driven by the growing number of automotive OEMs and plants in the area, which is caused by the growing demand for cars. As OEMs learn more about the benefits of NVH testing and as the need for better comfort, fuel economy, and resistance to outdoor noise grows, NVH testing is likely to become more popular in APAC.

• ESI Group

Engineering Systems International (ESI) was started in France in 1973 by Alain de Rouvray and three other recent PhDs from the University of California Berkeley: Jacques Dubois, Iraj Farhoomand, and Eberhard Haug. At first, the company worked as a consulting firm for the defense, aerospace, and nuclear businesses in Europe.

At a VDI meeting in Stuttgart on May 30, 1978, the company showed a simulation of what would happen if a military fighter plane crashed into a nuclear power plant by accident. Then, German automakers tried out a number of new commercial crash simulation codes, including what would later become Pam-Crash crash simulation software. As part of this project, the first version of the software simulated the frontal impact of a full passenger car structure, a Volkswagen Polo model, when it crashed into a solid concrete barrier at 50 km/h. This simulation took place overnight on a computer. This was the first time that a frontal crash scenario for a whole car went well. The deformations of the structure were accurately predicted by finite element simulation, and rigid body simulation was used for the less important deformation and free-flight stages of the simulation.
