CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPING MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Drivers

The automotive industry constantly aims at reducing vehicle weight while striving to improve the noise, vibration, and harshness performance. This increases the demand for improved vehicle acoustic performance with lightweight acoustic materials, treatments, and components. CLD comprises viscoelastic material layers with high stiffness, which help dissipate vibratory energy in the structure through sheer deformation of the viscoelastic layer. Thus CDC proves to be an efficient technique to subdue throbbing and sound in these structures, due to which the demand for CDC is in turn increasing. This is a major factor driving growth of the constrained layer damping market. Integration of lightweight acoustic materials allows for enhanced vehicle efficiency, especially in heavy vehicles such as pickup trucks and SUVs, while reducing the noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) impacts. Increasing demand for lightweight automotive materials to lower fuel consumption, in turn, is boosting demand for constrained layer damping.
