Automotive NVH Materials Market Drivers

Stringent Emission and Fuel Economy Regulations

Several governments across the world have imposed stringent standard noise regulations for vehicles. These standard regulations have compelled automotive OEMs to increase the use of NVH materials such as nitrile rubber (NBR), polyurethanes (PU) and polycarbonate (PC) as these NVH materials assist in reducing the noise of a vehicle while ensuring safety and performance. On public roads, there are limits to the amount of noise that vehicles can make. Larger vehicles with larger engines are generally capable of making more noise. To meet Europe-wide noise limits, new cars are now required. These were phased out from 82 decibels (dB(A)) in 1978 to the current 74 dB(A) limit set in 2016. Environment (Protection) Amendment Rules, 2000, vide G.S.R. 7422 the noise limits for vehicles were notified by (E). As of July 2016, a new EU regulation, Regulation (EU) No 540/2014, introduced phases of tighter noise limits over 10 years, together with a revised, more representative test procedure. By 2026, the limit will be 68 dB for most new passenger cars. These regulations by the governments have made sure that the car manufacture henceforth might need to be manufacturing much less noisy vehicles to obey as per these norms, which acts as a driver for the automotive NVH materials market during the forecast period.

Increasing Government Initiatives For Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

By 2030, 140 million cars will have either a full electric or hybrid powertrain, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Automotive NVH Materials Market Challenges

Increased overall vehicle weight owing to the usage of NVH materials

The additional NVH control materials are observed to add to the overall weight of the vehicle. The rising cost of automotive fuels and greater awareness of greenhouse gas-adding automotive emissions have led car manufacturers to develop more fuel-efficient vehicles. A few years ago, 2000 cc engines were available in sedans sold by leading Japanese, European, and American manufacturers. The same sedans use 1000 to 1500 cc engines today, which are as powerful and almost 1.5 times more fuel-efficient as the outgoing 2000 cc engines. There is less pollution caused by the new generation of engines. The CO2 that the new engine releases per kilometer of travel are almost 1/5th of the older 2000 cc engines. To make the smaller power trains develop power equal to the older normally aspirated engines, manufacturers employ various techniques such as more efficient fuel injection systems and turbochargers. This allows the new engines to run more mechanical parts and generate more noise. Thus, more NVH control materials are used to meet NVH regulations. Hence, the increased overall vehicle weight owing to the usage of NVH materials may hinder the automotive NVH materials market growth during the forecast period.
