Noise, Vibration & Harshness (NVH) Testing Market Report 2026

The noise, vibration & harshness (nvh) testing market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.13 billion in 2025 to $2.27 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing vehicle production volumes, rising consumer demand for quieter vehicles, expansion of automotive quality testing practices, growth of acoustic testing laboratories, adoption of standardized nvh measurement methods.

The noise, vibration & harshness (nvh) testing market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.89 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing focus on electric and autonomous vehicle comfort, rising investments in advanced testing infrastructure, expansion of smart manufacturing validation processes, growing demand for real-time nvh analytics, increasing use of digital twins in vehicle testing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of advanced nvh simulation software, rising demand for electric vehicle nvh testing, growing use of real-time noise monitoring systems, expansion of integrated hardware-software testing platforms, enhanced focus on acoustic comfort optimization.

Government initiatives aimed at reducing noise pollution are playing a significant role in driving the growth of the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing market. Noise pollution refers to excessive and persistent sound levels that have harmful effects on humans and wildlife. It is associated with various health concerns, including sleep disturbances, hypertension, hearing impairment, dementia, psychological disorders, and adverse impacts on cardiovascular and metabolic systems. To address these issues, governments worldwide are strengthening policy frameworks and implementing stricter regulations to control and reduce noise pollution. As a result, there is an increasing need for advanced noise, vibration, and harshness testing products and services to monitor, control, and optimize noise levels. For example, in March 2023, according to the European Commission, a Belgium-based governmental body, achieving a 30% reduction in the number of people affected by transport-related noise by 2030, as outlined in the Zero Pollution Action Plan, will require intensified and more comprehensive measures. Therefore, government regulations targeting noise pollution reduction are contributing to the expansion of the noise, vibration, and harshness testing market.

Companies operating in the noise, vibration, and harshness testing industry are increasingly focusing on technological advancements, such as the development of the DiM FSS simulator, to enhance testing accuracy and efficiency, improve product quality, and optimize vehicle performance through a deeper understanding of acoustic and dynamic behavior. The DiM FSS simulator is a specialized solution developed by VI-grade for NVH testing applications. For instance, in June 2024, VI-grade, an Italy-based company specializing in simulation and testing solutions for the automotive and transportation sectors, officially launched the DiM FSS simulator. This simulator offers advanced NVH testing capabilities, including real-time data analysis, customizable testing environments, and high-fidelity vehicle dynamics simulation, thereby improving the precision and efficiency of automotive development processes.

In January 2024, Keysight Technologies, Inc., a US-based provider of electronic design and testing solutions, acquired a controlling stake in ESI Group SA for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Keysight aims to strengthen its NVH simulation and testing capabilities by incorporating ESI Group’s advanced physics-based virtual prototyping and predictive simulation technologies into its software offerings. ESI Group SA is a France-based engineering software company that develops simulation solutions used to model complex product behaviors, including acoustics and structural dynamics relevant to noise, vibration, and harshness testing.
