The global sound absorbing material market size was USD 6642.7 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 9489.03 million by 2031, at a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period.

In practically every aspect of noise control engineering, materials that absorb sound are employed to lower sound pressure levels. • Identify the crucial physical characteristics and parameters that lead a material to soak up sound in order to use them effectively. • Provide a characterization of the acoustical efficiency of noise materials used to perform particular noise mitigation functions • Create innovative instruments to determine the ultrasonic criteria required to accomplish the soundproofing criteria of acoustic insulation and the sound absorbing achievement of sound insulators. • The addition of sound-absorbing materials to noise-control enclosures, covers, and wrappings to increase insertion loss and decrease reverberant buildup; • the control of reflected sound by adding sound-absorbing materials to the surfaces of rooms.

COVID-19 Impact: Decrease in Demand from the Automobile Sector due to the Restrictions Implemented by Various Governments 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering; with the sound absorbing material market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 outbreak has had a negative impact on economic growth. Many governmental organizations and private sector businesses were operating at reduced capacity or had completely ceased operations as a result of the rapid conditions that followed the COVID-19 epidemic. Due to the shutdown of numerous public and private sector businesses, auto production has come to a stop. The absence of raw materials and a shortage of laborers both had an impact on the automobile sector. This had a negative impact on the sound absorbing material market. The desire for electric vehicles, however, is expected to drive growth in the automotive industry. This will result in a rise in the demand for sound absorbing materials, which is predicted to be a growth opportunity for the global market.

LATEST TRENDS

Introduction of Hybrid-Acoustics which is Utilize as an Insulator in Loud Sounding Powertrains

Hybrid-Acoustics is a novel material that Autoneum just unveiled. This is flameproof and a great deal lighter than typical insulators. It is used in loud sounding powertrains as an insulator installed on the power plant.

RESTRAINING FACTORS 

"High Cost Associated with the Installation of this Product is Anticipated to Obstruct the Market Growth"

Despite the fact that sound absorbent materials offer many benefits for reducing noise pollution, they also have certain drawbacks, such as the expensive cost of installing such systems. The user must invest significant sums of money in the installation of these materials if they are to be used in industries or even construction. For large-scale organizations, this might not seem like a major deal, but for small- and medium-sized businesses, it might require a significant portion of their cash to invest in the sound-absorbing material. The high initial cost of installing this sound absorbing material can impede the sound absorbing material market growth.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Increased Consumer Awareness and Strict Government Regulations to Drive the Market Demand"

The dynamics of the sound absorbing material market will be influenced by increased consumer awareness of noise pollution and significant growth in the building sector in developing countries like South Korea. Market for lowering substances in homes and businesses around the world will increase as a result of strict government regulations aimed at reducing the harmful effects of high noise levels and raising living standards.

"Better Concentration, Greater Communication and Reduced Worker Stress can be Achieved by Installing Acoustic Solutions in the Equipment"

Workers may focus and concentrate at hand without being sidetracked by machinery noises by minimizing the number of sound produced by construction equipment. Additionally, it encourages improved communication between workers when undertaking group projects or in potentially risky circumstances. The physical and mental wellbeing of construction workers is substantially impacted by sound. Increased noise levels can induce mental stress that lowers worker productivity as well as hearing loss as well as other ear-related problems. These worries are lessened by lower workplace noise levels. It is in the best interest of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to include such acoustical solutions in their equipment as it makes construction equipment that permits these advantages more desirable to consumers.
