AUTOMOBILE HORN DEVICE MARKET OVERVIEW

Global Automobile Horn Device Market size is anticipated to be worth approximately USD 4.26 Billion in 2024, projected to reach USD 7.24 Billion by 2033 at a 6.5% CAGR from 2024 to 2033.

The automobile horn device is a very crucial part of a vehicle because it assists in notifying pedestrians and other drivers of the existence of a certain car. Usually situated at the steering wheel or the handle bar of motorcycles, this horn produces a loud sound when squeezed in order to clear the road or avoid an accident. Automobile horns of the current generation are nearly all electrical and have been designed to have a specific pitch that will rise above the noise of other vehicles.

KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained as Automobile Manufacturing Plants were Closed

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The outbreak of COVID-19 has had the several negative effects on this market. In late twenty-nineteen, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 contagious disease affecting the whole world, manufacturing plants, especially automobile manufacturing plants, were closed or, if open, were doing it half-bare. This greatly affected the whole automobile industry, and this automatically reduced the demand for all automobile-related products, including horn devices. It affected the manufacturers in different ways, as well as disrupting the supply chain through production delays of raw materials and components and, therefore, rising production costs and reducing profit margins.

LATEST TRENDS

Focus on the Safety of Consumers to Propel the Market Growth

The trends emerging in this market are increasingly focused on the safety of consumers, the complexities of technology, and the concern for the environment. People now want complex horn systems that are hooked to cars’ electronics to include aspects such as auto-tone and custom pitch. Since the era of electric cars that can barely be heard, auto producers are creating horns that are efficient even with low-humming engines but compliant with the highest standards of assisting pedestrians.

• According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (India), 58% of vehicle OEMs are shifting to electronic horns in e-mobility segments.

• The U.S. Department of Transportation states 47% of new vehicle testing includes advanced weather-resistance trials for horn durability certification.

AUTOMOBILE HORN DEVICE MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Electronic Horn, Air Horn & Electromagnetic Horn

• Electronic Horn: Produces sound by means of electronic circuits. Portable, has low power consumption, and can have individually regulated sound. It is used in the present generation of cars, especially those that use electricity or both electricity and fuel.

• Air Horn: It employs compressed air to make a loud noise. However, the apparent drawback of the software is that it is known for creating a very loud and hard-to-ignore sound. Usually employed in big vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trains.

• Electromagnetic Horn: Functions by having an electromagnet, which then excites a diaphragm, hence producing sound. Used extensively in different types of vehicles and remarked on their reliability. Found in most passenger cars due to factors such as simplicity and the cost of manufacturing.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Passenger Vehicle & Commercial Vehicle

• Passenger Vehicle: Embraces cars, SUVs, and motorcycles mainly for personal use. Optimisation of look and feel, its sound and synthesis, as well as interfacing with cutting-edge vehicle on-board electronics. As consumers and buyers demand better comfort, safety measures, and the incorporation of new technologies.

• Commercial Vehicle: It includes trucks, buses, and other carriages used for the carriage of goods as well as passengers. Stress on robustness and dependability, along with a high acoustic yell for safety in a number of settings. Bearing the impacts of security measures and the needed communication while driving dense traffic. 

DRIVING FACTORS

Increased Focus on Road Safety to Expand the Market

One of the key driving factors of Automobile Horn Device Market growth is Increased Focus on Road Safety. There is an increasing trend towards road safety and consequent legislation for signalling lights in cars. Horns are vital in avoiding or minimising accident occurrences by warning pedestrians and other users of the road; thus, they must be incorporated into both private and commercial vehicles. 

Technological Advancements and Integration to Advance the Market

Factors like the incorporation of new technologies, specifically electronic smart horns, which are smart horns with automated, customisable sound and level, are the defining factors of the growth of this market. It will improve vehicles and safety systems as well as meet consumer demand for smarter and greener car parts. 

• According to the World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29), 65% of vehicles must meet international horn loudness standards.

• Based on U.S. EPA data, 69% of manufacturers upgraded horn components to comply with environment-friendly material usage.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Increasing Legislative Measures against Noise Pollution to Pose Potential Impediments on this Market

One of the key factors that may pose a strong threat to the market is the increasing legislative measures against noise pollution. This has arisen due to enhanced awareness of environmental noises and their effects on the quality of life of residents and new resolutions by governments and regulatory agencies that seek to set a tight legislated limit on horn loudness. While horn devices enable UAD applications, these regulations can restrict the design of the horn devices or the overall function of the device in a way that presents difficulties for manufacturers in compliance with one or both of these types of regulations while manufacturing a product that will meet consumer expectations in terms of performance and efficiency of use for its intended function.

• As per EU noise regulation policies, 42% of urban planning departments impose strict horn usage limits in residential zones.

• The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) notes 38% of horn producers face certification delays due to evolving sound pollution laws.
