Government regulations aimed at reducing noise pollution are significantly driving the growth of the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing market. Noise pollution refers to unwanted and prolonged noise levels that can adversely affect humans and wildlife. It poses various health risks, including sleep disturbances, hypertension, hearing loss, dementia, psychological issues, and impacts on the cardiovascular and metabolic systems. To combat noise pollution, governments globally are developing policy planning and regulations that require advanced noise, vibration, and harshness testing products and services. For example, in 2022, the UK had 71.8 million mobile connections - 4.2 million more than its population - representing a 3.8% increase from 2021. By 2025, the population is expected to reach 68.3 million, with about 95% (approximately 65 million people) anticipated to be smartphone users. Therefore, government regulations aimed at reducing noise pollution are contributing to the growth of the NVH testing market.
