Automotive noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) materials refer to materials that are utilized to produce automotive components which aid in reducing the impacts of noise, vibration harshness to offer a comfortable rider experience to occupants. Components incorporating effective NVH fabrication tend to impede and eliminate NVH issues in the vehicle. Manufacturers operating in the market primarily emphasize offering custom-made solutions designed to manage NVH concerns based on a vehicle’s key attributes such as weight, body structure and materials. A diverse range of materials is utilized in the automotive industry to reduce the unfavorable impacts of NVH, including rubber, foam, plastics, fibers and others. Rubber is an ideal NVH material and has been used in the industry since its beginning. Rubber’s high density enables easier absorption of noise and vibrations. Foams and plastics have also proven to be highly effective in NVH campaigns. Key automotive components fabricated with these materials include gaskets, seals, mounts and others.
The scope of this investigation includes all the major NVH materials that are currently being utilized in the automotive industry. The market study is further sub-segmented based on material type, vehicle type, application and region. Applications are discussed, as are properties imparted by NVH materials.
