The noise, vibration & harshness (NVH) testing market consists of sales of NVH testing products and related services by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) to enhance comfort, vehicle performance, and brand recognition. NVH is also known as noise, vibration, and harshness and it creates an unwanted sound, discomfort, and unwanted disturbance in vehicles. NVH testing refers to measuring, modifying, and optimizing the noise and vibration characteristics of vehicles by providing noise reduction and quality assurance of interior and exterior noise to reduce noise pollution.
The main types of NVH testing are hardware and software. NVH testing hardware equipment provides noise reduction and quality assurance of interior and exterior noise to reduce noise pollution. The different applications are impacted hammer testing and powertrain NVH testing, environmental noise measurement, pass-by noise testing, noise source mapping, sound intensity measurement and sound quality testing, building acoustics, mechanical vibration testing, and product vibration testing and are used in various sectors such as automotive and transportation, aerospace and defense, power generation, consumer electronics, construction, and other end-users.

The global noise, vibration & harshness testing market size is expected to grow from $1.89 billion in 2021 to $2.01 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. The global NVH testing market size is expected to grow to $2.56 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 6.3%.
Government regulations to reduce noise pollution are significantly driving the growth of the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing market. Noise pollution refers to unwanted and long-term noise levels that lead to adverse effects on humans and other wildlife organisms. Noise pollution is hazardous and causes a variety of health issues such as sleep disturbance, hypertension, hearing loss, dementia, psychological dysfunctions, and affects the cardiovascular and metabolic system. Governments are working on policy planning and regulations building globally to control noise pollution and control and optimize noise pollution advanced noise, vibration, and harshness testing products and services are required. For instance, in July 2021, The National Planning Policy Framework was revised by the government of the UK. The National Planning Policy Framework has provisions on noise that demand the local planning policies protection against noise and identifying and protecting existing tranquil environments from noise pollution. Therefore, government regulations to reduce noise pollution are contributing to the growth of the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing market.
Product innovations are the key trends gaining popularity in the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) testing market. Major companies operating in the NVH testing sector are focused on developing innovative products for noise, vibration, and harshness testing to strengthen their position in the market. For instance, in March 2020, Bruel & Kjaer, a Denmark-based electronics company launched version 2019.1 of NVH Simulator. This NVH Simulator new version will expand the electric and hybrid vehicle's modeling ability and other 200 improvements and enhancements. Using NVH Simulator 2019.1 the tonal harmonics in electric vehicle sound can be extracted from measurement and re-synthesized using the NVH Simulator software in real-time driver-in-the-loop simulations.
In March 2019, Siemens AG, a Germany-based technology company acquired Saab Medav Technologies GmbH’s NVH testing business for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition will allow Siemens to enhance Simcenterportfolio of simulation and testing solutions used for NVH quality testing of manufactured products such as combustion engines, electric motors, axles, transmissions, and turbo chargers as well as in research and development. Saab Medav Technologies is a Germany-based noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) industrial quality testing company that provides testing of combustion engines, electric motors, transmissions, and motor-driven systems.
