Global automotive NVH materials market to grow at a CAGR of 10.16% during the period 2017-2021.

Global Automotive NVH Materials Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the key vendors operating in this market.

Automotive NVH materials reduce unwanted noise, vibrations (oscillations due to automobile mechanics), and harshness (the level of discomfort) (NVH) in automobiles. Noise in vehicles may be caused by the engine, road, brakes, exhaust system, cooling fans, and external wind noise. Automotive NVH materials perform either acoustic absorption or acoustic insulation functions to absorb the noise and prevent it from entering the inside of the vehicle, thereby enhancing the overall driving comfort.

According to the report, the automobiles sector is constantly evolving with new products thronging the market. Out of the prominent buying criteria, vehicle comfort is ranked among the top three for automobiles. Cost, style and features, and engine capacity are the other key factors impacting buying decisions. Customer satisfaction is inherently linked to comfort, and NVH materials play the most significant role in damping noise, vibration, and harshness, thereby enhancing driving comfort.
