Automotive Acoustic Engineering Services Market size was over USD 3.42 billion in 2024 and is projected to cross USD 7.83 billion by the end of 2037, growing at more than 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of automotive acoustic engineering services is estimated at USD 3.6 billion.
The growth of the market can be attributed to the rising impact of noise pollution on human health. A quarter of people in Europe are subjected to health-harming levels of noise over an extended period of time. Almost 100 million people in Europe fall within that category. After the effects of air pollution, noise is the second-largest environmental source of health issues.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of automotive acoustic engineering services include the rise in the recent advancements in acoustic engineering services as well as rising production of motor vehicles, the demand for automotive acoustic engineering services is on the rise amongst the automobile manufacturers, which in turn, is expected to create massive revenue generation opportunities for the key players operating in the global automotive acoustic engineering services market during the forecast period. For instance, the global motor vehicles production increased by around 1% in 2021, compared to 2020.
Growth Drivers
Increasing Negative Impact of Noise Pollution - As per an estimation, the environmental noise accounted for 48,000 new cases of ischemic heart disease in the year 2021. Automotive acoustic engineering services are used to minimize and control the level of noise in the vehicles. With the rising negative impact road traffic noise on health, the demand for automotive acoustic engineering services is expected to escalate in the forecasted period.
Rising Regulatory Norms to Reduce Noise Pollution- Strict rules and regulation for curbing noise pollution is likely to drive the market growth. according to the Environment Protection Rules 1986 (EPR), the range from 81 dB to 90 dB of noise is permissible for all passenger and commercial vehicles at the manufacturing stage.
Growing Penetration of Gas Powertrain - Acoustic engineering services are carried out for different applications such as the powertrain to control and minimize the noise level of the vehicle. It was found that, 94% vehicles registered in United States in 2018, had gas powertrain.
Upsurge in the Demand of Luxury Vehicles – The agility, luxurious appeal, and good efficiency of a vehicle are all impacted by improved vehicle acoustic systems. Luxury car sales peaked at over 2,000 units in 2022, and by 2026, they are expected to be close to 202, 000. Moreover, out of total light-vehicle sold in United States in 2021, the luxury brands accounted for 14%.
Increasing Adoption of Electric Vehicles – acoustic engineering services are used to optimize the noise of motor present in the electric vehicle. By 2027, it is anticipated that electric vehicle unit sales would be around 16,000 units. More than 50% of the world's population purchased an electric vehicle in 2022.

Application (Internal Combustion Engine, Electric)
The global automotive acoustic engineering services market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by application into internal combustion engine, and electric. Out of the two application of automotive acoustic engineering services, the electric segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing production of electric vehicles along with the need to reduce the pollution causes by petrol and diesel cars. For instance, The Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, predicts an electric car fleet of more than 300 million in 2030. Moreover, in 2022, around 6 million electric vehicles were sold worldwide, and in the first quarter, almost 2 million E-cars were sold.
Offering (Physical, Virtual)
The global automotive acoustic engineering services market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by offering into physical and virtual. Amongst these two segments, the virtual segment is expected to garner a significant share. The segment growth is attributed to the rising need to cut off the cost of vehicle production. In comparison to physical testing, the virtual acoustics testing is cheaper and can significantly reduce the overall production cost. Moreover, for the testing, the mathematic models and software are used that analyze the real time scenarios to detect noise and vibration. However, this time is notably less in virtual testing, thus saves the cost of research and development and quickly detects the fault in the systems. Additionally, it gives precise result in comparison to physical testing.

APAC Market Statistics
The Asia Pacific automotive acoustic engineering services market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the presence of a strong automobile network in the region, growing production of vehicles, as well as the rising awareness for reducing the noise pollution caused by vehicles. For instance, the vehicle production volume of China in June 2022, hit over 2.4 million units. According to the Government of India's Ministry of Environment and Forest, the acceptable daytime noise levels for cars are 75 dB in industrial regions, 65 dB in commercial areas, 55 dB in residential areas, and 50 dB in quiet zones. Moreover, rising sales of luxurious cars are also expected to boost the market growth. German automakers shipped roughly 840,000 BMW and Mini vehicles to China in 2021. Furthermore, up until March 2022, there were almost 24,000 premium car sales in India.
