Automotive NVH Market

The NVH materials refer to the materials used to reduce noise, vibrations and the feeling of harshness related to automobiles. The origin of these noises and vibrations is mostly from the engine, driveline, tires, wind, HVAC system, etc. NVH materials are basically used to reduce the unwanted noises and vibrations and provide a comfortable ride to the occupants. These materials are used to differentiate the cars on the basis of comfort provided as the noise and vibrations may increase the fatigue and irritation of the passengers. The demand for these materials is increasing in the automotive applications as automobile manufacturers strive to comply with the government regulations which limit the noise level of the automobiles and the increase in demand for the comfort by the customers.

NVH Market: Use of lightweight materials driving the market

Polyurethane is mostly used in the NVH applications in the automobiles as it is good sound insulation. It is also light in weight which contributes to reduction of the overall weight of the vehicle. It helps in reducing the NVH levels which helps to providing a comfortable ride to the passengers. The application of NVH helps the automobile manufacturers to improve the ride quality by reducing the vibrations and noise, which is important in premium cars as it enhances the driving experience. Customers also make the purchase decision on the level of comfort the vehicle offers. Thus, the NVH manufacturers will focus on developing superior materials along with the reduction in the weight of the materials.
