The global market for automotive noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) materials was estimated at USD 9.84 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2023 to 2030. One of the primary drivers of growth in the NVH materials market is the increased global production and use of heavy commercial vehicles across various end-use industries. These vehicles generate noise and vibrations due to both structure-borne and airborne sources, which can diminish passenger comfort and reduce vehicle longevity. Automotive NVH materials help to mitigate these issues, enhancing ride quality and overall passenger experience. This has created a strong demand for NVH materials in the automotive industry as manufacturers strive to improve the comfort and durability of their vehicles.

The focus on managing acoustic properties, vibration, and harshness in both passenger and commercial vehicles has increased among automotive manufacturers. This focus on NVH control is essential not only for enhancing passenger comfort but also for improving fuel economy and cabin sound levels, which boosts the durability of vehicle components. Changes in consumer preferences toward vehicles with better acoustic management and comfort are expected to further drive the demand for NVH materials in the automotive industry. Additionally, the increasing adoption of active noise control systems in cars, which cater to consumer demands for quieter and safer rides, along with evolving regulatory standards, are further fueling growth in the automotive NVH materials market.

The value chain in the NVH materials market includes suppliers of raw materials, manufacturers, converters, distributors, and end-users. Converters play a pivotal role, transforming raw materials into final products such as foam laminates and molded rubber components that reduce noise and vibration. Manufacturers may either sell NVH materials directly to consumers through their own brands or supply them to third-party distributors and dealers.
