Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market Introduction and Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market is estimated to reach USD 13.2 billion by 2034 with a CAGR of 8.28%
The report includes an in-depth analysis of the Global Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market, including market size and trends, product mix, Applications, and supplier analysis. The automotive acoustic engineering services market was estimated to be worth USD 5.96 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 8.28% from 2025 to 2034. The strict regulatory rules on vehicle noise are driving the demand for automotive acoustic engineering services. Governments throughout the world are enacting stricter regulations to fight noise pollution from automobiles. Automobile manufacturers hire acoustic engineering service providers to ensure compliance and avoid penalties. These professionals help them design cars that meet noise emission regulations, identify and address noise sources throughout the vehicle, create and implement noise reduction measures, and conduct testing and certification to assure compliance with legislation.

By Offering Insights
Based on offerings, the market is split into physical and virtual. The virtual segment is expected to generate the most revenue by 2034. Virtual testing is much cheaper than physical testing. It reduces the need for prototypes, expensive testing facilities, and excessive resources. This allows automakers to revise designs and test noise reduction methods more frequently while staying on budget. Virtual tests can be finished much faster than real tests. Simulations can be done quickly, enabling fast feedback and design changes, and allowing engineers to adjust parameters and examine noise levels effectively.
By Vehicle Insights
The automotive acoustic engineering services market is divided into passenger and commercial vehicles. In 2024, passenger vehicles held the largest market share, as passenger cars and SUVs make up a larger portion of vehicle production.
Consumers want a quiet and comfortable driving experience in passenger cars, increasing the demand for services that minimize Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) compared to commercial vehicles, which focus on utility. Additionally, passenger cars must meet stricter
noise emission standards, requiring manufacturers to use acoustic engineering services for compliance.
Regional Insights
North America will have the highest revenue for automotive acoustic engineering services in 2024. This growth is due to the presence of major car manufacturers, suppliers, and engineering companies. The United States government is enforcing higher noise pollution standards for vehicles, requiring automakers to hire acoustic experts to ensure compliance. Companies in North America are investing in testing facilities, software, and materials for noise reduction and vibration management, driven by the need to follow noise guidelines and certification processes.
Market Competitive Landscape
Siemens AG and Schaeffler Engineering dominate the market, with a considerable market share. Siemens has developed digital twin solutions for acoustic analysis, leveraging its Simcenter portfolio and IoT technology. These solutions create virtual models of vehicle systems and components, allowing for the predictive assessment of noise and vibration performance throughout the product lifecycle.
Recent Developments:
In January 2024, BlackBerry introduced QNX Sound, a comprehensive audio and acoustics innovation platform for Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs). This platform seeks to transform the in-vehicle audio experience by including advanced audio processing, noise cancellation, and acoustic management technologies.
February 2023: Warwick Acoustics commercialised its automotive in-car audio technology, with the goal of improving overall sound quality while reducing the use of rare-earth elements in production. This unique technique helps to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly automobile sector.
