The automobile industry is continuously seeking to reduce vehicle weight while improving noise, vibration, and harshness performance. This raises the demand for lightweight acoustic materials, treatments, and components to improve vehicle acoustic performance. CLD is made up of stiff viscoelastic material layers that assist disperse vibratory energy in the structure by sheer deformation of the viscoelastic layer. As a result, CDC is proving to be an effective strategy for controlling throbbing and sound in these structures, which is increasing demand for CDC. This is a primary reason driving the limited layer damping market's growth. A detailed review of the report's restraints depicts the contrast to drivers and allows for strategic planning. Factors that overshadow market growth are critical because they may be used to design diverse strategies for seizing the rich chances that exist in the ever-growing market. In addition, insights of market experts' viewpoints have been used to better comprehend the industry.
