Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market Analysis
The Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market was valued at USD 4273.15 Million in 2021 and is projected to grow to USD 6780.67 Million in 2027, witnessing a CAGR of 8.13% in terms of revenue during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the growth of the automotive acoustic engineering services market. The decline in passenger and commercial vehicle sales in 2020 and the temporary shutdown of vehicle and component production facilities have decreased. Major vehicle testing facilities have been stopped during the pandemic, which is likely to affect the market.
Factors such as increasing stringency in vehicle noise rules and demand for interior cabin comfort and luxury amenities are expected to raise the global automotive acoustic engineering services market. For instance,
Beginning with Directive 70/157/EEC in 1970, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) released a series of 137 laws regarding vehicle noise. Furthermore, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Technical Committee 43 (ISO/TC 43) are addressing global acoustics issues, some of which are connected to vehicle noise issues. As a result, the global enforcement of rules drives the need for automotive acoustic engineering equipment, fueling the growth of the global automotive acoustic engineering services market.
Engine downsizing entails using a smaller and lighter engine in a vehicle to produce the power of a bigger engine. It can be accomplished by lowering engine displacement and cylinder count or incorporating a forced aspiration device such as a turbocharger or supercharger and direct-injection technology. Both elements, however, may significantly impact the vehicle's overall noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) behavior. During the projected period, the rising trend of engine downsizing is expected to provide lucrative prospects for advancing the global automotive acoustic engineering market.
Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Industry Segmentation
Automotive acoustic systems minimize vehicle noise by blocking and absorbing road and structural noise. Automotive acoustic engineering services involve planning, developing, testing, and simulating sound emanating from the engine, gearbox, other car components, and overall vehicle to bring interior cabin noise within allowable limits.

Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market according to our research experts:
Powertrain Application dominating the market
Based on the application, the powertrain segment held a major market share in revenue in 2021. Powertrain noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing are generally concerned with the overall driver experience during vehicle propulsion. These tests include everything that makes the mobility of a vehicle. The allowed noise levels and sound quality are the most important, as more of the auto parts assembled in the drive train is responsible for making unpleasant sounds during vehicle dynamics, thus making the driving experience worse.
The noise from several powertrain component sources includes the internal combustion engine (ICE), tailpipe, exhaust system, gearbox, pumps, belt drive system, and accessories used in cooling systems. Moreover, the fuel pump is known for transmitting airborne and structure-borne particles into the vehicle, thus contributing primarily to the overall vehicle acoustic standard. These component noises are regulated by legislation to enhance the vehicle's driving experience.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and the working party on Noise and Tires coordinates gave the regulations for its 56 member states in Europe, Asia, and North America. The member states have executed certain regulations locally, including controlling the overall vehicle noise emission from the powertrain. In addition, manufacturers must determine their pass-by noise compliance with present regulations to ensure their noise emissions standards are within the compliance regulation limits.
Thus, many vehicle manufacturers conduct the powertrain test to maintain the standards compliances. These main tests cover sound pressure levels and powertrain integrity tests under several load conditions, including vehicle launch, acceleration, steady state, partial load, and maximum load.
Thus, the demand for power train acoustic testing is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period.

Asia-Pacific to hold major market share
Asia-Pacific witnessed major growth in terms of revenue in 2021. The rise in demand for electric vehicles across the region offers opportunities to acoustics services providers.
China is one of the world's largest automotive markets; more than 21.39 million passenger cars were sold in the country in 2021 and recorded an increase of 6% in yearly sales compared to 2020. Despite the economic conflicts with the United States and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, China is still one of the largest sellers of automobiles, which is a great opportunity for automotive acoustic engineering service providers to make their place in the Chinese automobile market. Moreover, in 2021, China has exported more than 1.6-million-unit passenger vehicles and 402,000 unit commercial vehicles.
Japan is expected to show remarkable deployment of automotive acoustic engineering services in electric vehicles during the forecast period due to the government initiative, which is likely to catalyze the rapid emergence of EVs in the country. For instance,
· In November 2021, Japan government announced to double their incentives for electric vehicles to 800,000 Yen per vehicle and subsidizes charging infrastructure to catch up with matured economies, including North America and Europe.
In India, automakers are partnering with institutes for research in autonomous vehicles. For instance, in March 2021, MG Motor India joined IIT Delhi's Centre for Automotive Research and Tribology (CART) to research electric and autonomous vehicles. IIT Delhi will help MG to further focus on CASE mobility (Connected – Autonomous – Shared – Electric); by enabling supporting research for the deployment of electric and autonomous vehicles in the urban landscape in India, which would be an evident sign of the growth of automotive acoustic engineering services.
Thus, all the factors mentioned above will increase automotive acoustic engineering services adoption across various vehicle propulsion systems.
