According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Automotive Active Engine Mount Market is accounted for $3.48 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach $6.24 billion by 2032 growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period. An Automotive Active Engine Mount (AEM) is an advanced vibration isolation system used in modern vehicles to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) levels inside the cabin. Active engine mounts use sensors, actuators, and electronic control units to actively counteract engine vibrations by creating opposing forces, in contrast to traditional passive engine mounts that only use rubber or hydraulic damping. In cars with electric drive trains, hybrids, and downsized turbocharged engines, where erratic torque variations and start-stop operations add to vibrations, this technology is especially helpful. Moreover, AEMs are essential for meeting strict emission regulations, supporting lightweight engine designs, and satisfying the growing demand from consumers for high-end driving experiences by improving ride comfort, increasing cabin quietness, and safeguarding vehicle components.
According to Z. Si et al. (2022), an active engine mount design leveraging a magnetostrictive Terfenol-D actuator, coupled with hydraulic amplification and controlled via an x-LMS state feedback algorithm, demonstrated simulation-based performance where transmitted force and relative displacement were reduced by approximately 98.24% and 1.06%, respectively, compared to a passive mount at 3000 rpm.
Growing need for cabin comfort and NVH reduction
The growing desire for better noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) control to guarantee quieter and more comfortable rides is one of the main factors propelling the automotive active engine mount market. Automakers are incorporating active mounts that can dynamically counter engine vibrations for improved cabin comfort as consumer expectations rise, particularly in premium and luxury vehicle segments. Moreover, active systems, as opposed to passive mounts, greatly enhance the driving experience by instantly eliminating vibrations using sensors and actuators. Manufacturers are investing heavily in advanced NVH technologies because urban buyer's value comfort over raw performance, which is driving the steady increase in the use of active engine mounts.
High costs of integration and manufacturing
The high cost of integration and manufacturing for automotive active engine mounts is one of the main factors preventing their widespread use. Complex components like sensors, actuators, and electronic control units (ECUs) are used in active systems as opposed to traditional passive mounts, which raises production costs considerably. Engineering complexity is also increased by the extra software and calibration needed to synchronize mounts with the vehicle's engine management system. Manufacturers frequently steer clear of incorporating such costly technologies in budget and mid-segment vehicles, where cost sensitivity is high. Because of this, active mounts are still comparatively uncommon in mass-market segments, even though they are popular in premium and luxury automobiles.
Growing interest in high-end and luxurious automobiles
The growing consumer preference for luxury and premium vehicles presents another major growth opportunity for active engine mounts. This segment's customers value minimal NVH levels, excellent ride quality, and cabin comfort highly. In response, automakers are using cutting-edge technologies like active mounts to set themselves apart from the competition. It is anticipated that luxury car sales will rise sharply in emerging economies, particularly in Asia-Pacific, as disposable incomes rise. Due to their widespread use in luxury cars, active mounts present a significant opportunity for adoption. Presumably, the luxury market will continue to be a major source of income.
Price pressure and fierce competition
The fierce rivalry between suppliers of automotive components poses a serious threat to the active engine mount market. Many regional and international companies are joining the market as demand rises, which is causing price wars and declining profit margins. Automakers are extremely cost-conscious and frequently engage in aggressive negotiations, which forces suppliers to lower their prices, especially in mass-market segments. Because of the low returns, manufacturers may be reluctant to make significant investments in R&D, which could stifle innovation. Additionally, long-term price pressure may limit the advancement of cutting-edge mount technologies and lessen supplier differentiation, which would affect the market's overall expansion.
Due to global supply chain disruptions, halted manufacturing operations, and sharp drops in vehicle sales during lockdowns, the COVID-19 pandemic had a major negative impact on the automotive active engine mount market. Due to a sharp decline in consumer demand for new vehicles, especially luxury and premium models where active engine mounts are most prevalent, automakers delayed production schedules and investments in these cutting-edge components. Adoption was further delayed by shortages of semiconductors and raw materials. However, as economies recovered after the pandemic, the market started to recover. The demand for active engine mounts gradually increased as a result of the renewed focus on comfort, electrification, and advanced NVH solutions.
The hydraulic active engine mounts segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The hydraulic active engine mounts segment is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period because they successfully reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) by combining active control systems with the tried-and-true damping power of hydraulic mounts, these mounts are widely used. Both premium and mid-segment vehicles favor them due to their affordability, robustness, and capacity to manage a wide range of vibration frequencies. Because hydraulic active mounts strike a balance between performance and cost, they are preferred by automakers for smoother rides and more comfortable interiors. Moreover, their dominant market share has been established by their strong integration across multiple vehicle categories.
The aluminum segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Over the forecast period, the aluminum segment is predicted to witness the highest growth rate. The automotive industry's significant move toward lightweight materials to increase vehicle performance, lower emissions, and improve fuel economy is what's driving this growth. Compared to their more conventional steel or rubber counterparts, aluminum-based active mounts provide a better balance of strength, durability, and weight reduction, which makes them ideal for contemporary automobiles, including electric and hybrid models. Aluminum mounts also increase corrosion resistance and heat resistance, which lengthen their lifespan. Additionally, aluminum mount demand is still rising quickly as automakers prioritize lightweighting techniques and high-end comfort.
During the forecast period, the Europe region is expected to hold the largest market share, reinforced by the widespread use of cutting-edge NVH reduction technologies to improve ride comfort by top premium and luxury automakers like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen. The adoption of active mounts is fueled by the region's developed automotive industry, strong consumer demand for luxury cars, and stringent noise and emissions regulations. Furthermore, propelling market expansion is Europe's early adoption of hybrid vehicles and electrification. Europe is still the market leader for active engine mounts worldwide owing to its strong supply chains, well-established R&D facilities, and emphasis on innovation.
Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to exhibit the highest CAGR, driven by the quick expansion of the automobile industry, growing disposable incomes, and the growing desire for passenger car comfort features. Leading nations include China, India, Japan, and South Korea; China is the biggest center for automobile manufacturing, while Japan and South Korea are at the forefront of technological advancements. Active mount deployment is further accelerated by the growing use of electric and hybrid vehicles as well as by pro-cleaner and more efficient mobility policies from the government. Moreover, Asia-Pacific is the regional market with the fastest rate of growth due to emerging economies' growing preference for premium and mid-segment automobiles.
