Research and Markets: Analysis of the NVH Test Equipment Market - Environmental Noise Application to Promote Market Expansion over the Next Five Years

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/343d89/analysis_of_the_nv) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Analysis of the NVH Test Equipment Market" to their offering.

“Analysis of the NVH Test Equipment Market”

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Analysis of the NVH Test Equipment Market offers revenue forecasts, market share analysis and examines market trends. In this research, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following end-user sectors: automotive and transportation, aerospace, military and defense, power generation, consumer electronics, construction, industrial equipment and others. The application areas covered in the research include: environmental noise, pass-by noise, noise mapping, sound power, telecom testing, sound quality, building acoustics, human vibration, and product vibration.

The greatest use of NVH test equipment, from an end user perspective, is in the research and development (R&D) phase of a new product. The changes to the noise and vibration characteristics can be easily executed at this stage with a few design alterations. If however the noise and vibration characteristics are not optimized at the R&D stage, the cost of modifying these characteristics increases exponentially as we move through the product lifecycle. For example, in the automotive and transportation industry there are a number of legislations limiting the amount of noise and vibration a vehicle can generate. To comply with these legislations and achieve optimum NVH performance, the prototype needs to be tested extensively.

Environmental Noise Application to Promote Market Expansion over the Next Five Years

The economic downturn of 2008-2009 had a significant impact on the global noise, vibration, harshness (NVH) test equipment market revenues, with the market experiencing considerable decline in 2009. The major contributor to this decline was the automotive market - the largest end-user for NVH test equipment. However, going forward, the automotive industry is once again anticipated to provide growth opportunities. Another important segment expected to drive the market over the next five years is, environmental noise. Limiting environmental noise has grown in importance over the past decade, especially in Europe, notes the analyst of this research. With extensive research published on the harmful effects of environmental noise on people, government agencies globally have introduced legislations regulating the amount of environmental noise, supporting continued growth in the environmental noise segment.
