Introduction of Enhanced Comfort and Safety Features Drives the Growth of Automotive Acoustic Materials Market
Bonnet liners, engine top cover, and engine encapsulation are the key components that absorb the under hood & engine bay noise. The powertrain-related components have to undergo extreme vibrations and temperatures. Hence, the automotive acoustic materials used in such applications have to cope up with the requirements. According to the ECE R118 regulations of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), the insulation material used in the under hood & engine bay application must have nonflammability certification. Further, component manufacturing companies using enhanced materials to achieve the target. Autoneum (Switzerland), an automotive acoustic components manufacturer, is using the Theta-FiberCell material technology that provides optimum noise protection and integrated thermal insulation for engine bay components. Also, the design upgradation by OEMs to develop more powerful engine would boost the demand for automotive acoustic materials to absorb the noise for the engine bay.
