The global noise, vibration, and harshness testing market is anticipated to reach USD 3.55 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is attributed to factors such as the advancements in Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) testing solutions, the need to comply with stringent noise standards and regulations, and the need to enhance consumer experience by providing products with lower noise and vibrations. The use of advanced technologies and the adoption of simulation tools are likely to offer significant growth opportunities for the market.
NVH testing utilizes hardware such as microphones and accelerometers to measure NVH levels, and the software analyzes the data collected from the sensors. Moreover, the NVH testing companies offer support & maintenance, calibration, and NVH testing services. The use of NVH testing offers numerous benefits, including cost reduction and enhanced customer experience. Early detection and resolution of NVH issues can prevent costly rework and redesign later in the development cycle, saving both time and resources. Similarly, ensuring low levels of noise and vibration enhances user comfort and satisfaction, leading to positive customer experiences and brand loyalty.
Ongoing technological innovations in sensors, data acquisition systems, and simulation software are driving the development of more advanced and efficient NVH testing solutions, expanding the market potential. Companies offering in the NVH testing market are launching new solutions. For instance, in March 2024, Kistler Group announced the launch of upgraded accelerometer series 8740A and 8788A, delivering enhanced sensitivity and durability suitable for modal analysis in aviation, automotive, and space testing. These accelerometers, renowned for their lightweight, compact design and minimal noise levels, enable precise vibration measurements. They are designed for various testing scenarios, including NVH testing.
