The report incorporates the study of the global automotive acoustic material market that focuses on the materials used in vehicle manufacturing to lower the sound level of engine and other vehicle components. In addition, vehicles are insulated with automotive acoustic materials from inside to reduce the outer noise, which affects the inner environment of the vehicle. These effective and affordable materials are constantly being developed by a number of well-known automakers and OEMs so that they may provide their customers with more comfort. These initiatives are expected to enhance the overall market space in the future. For instance, in August 2019, Huntsman International LLC unveiled a wide range of innovative polyurethane foam solutions focused on mobility, comfort and architectural applications. The new formulation is thermoformable for superior sound absorption and greater flexibility.
In addition, automotive acoustic materials are also used in the manufacturing industry to reduce machine noise and vibrations and safeguard workers on the shop floor. Although, the market value has increased as a result of increased R&D expenditures and growing consumer demand for more advanced comfort and safety features in vehicles. Also, the growing popularity of luxury, electric, and autonomous vehicles in the area and ongoing technical improvements may lead to an increase in the market. For instance, in 2020, HARMAN International partnered with Hyundai Motor Company to introduce the first ever active road noise cancellation system. The new technology has been adopted in the latter's Genesis GV80 SUV.
China is the world's largest vehicle market. As new automakers move into the nation and are anticipated to unveil their latest models soon. According to the China Automobile Dealers Association, the country's luxury car dealers sold 277,000 vehicles in April 2020, an 11.1% increase over April 2019. Furthermore, major worldwide businesses operating in the sector are investing in the North American region to expand their market presence and stay one step ahead of their competitors.
For the purpose of analysis, the global automotive acoustic material market is segmented on the basis of material type, application, component, vehicle type, and region.
