Market Overview

An equipment (usually hand-held) called a Sound Level Meter (SLM) is made to measure sound levels consistently. It measures sound pressure levels objectively and reproducibly and reacts to sound like that of the human ear. Construction sites, railroad and road traffic, industrial facilities, and other sources of noise are all measured and controlled with the use of sound level meters. For the professionals that evaluate them, there are several obstacles due to the many qualities and numerous sources of sound in typical urban settings including parks, concerts, and residential and commercial buildings. These meters are essential for analyzing occupational noise exposure in a variety of situations, including commercial, industrial, residential, and healthcare settings, as well as for monitoring noise pollution and guaranteeing regulatory compliance.  

For Instance, in June 2024, for national surveillance systems to effectively contribute to the generation of trustworthy and timely evidence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals and food at the national, regional, and international levels, FAO launched its ambitious and comprehensive global information system. FAO is inviting its members to take part in the first InFARM annual open call for data in 2024 as part of the launch.

For instance, in June 2022, Applications for the American Motorcyclist Association's Sound Test Kit Program for 2022 are now being accepted. The AMA's Government Relations Department oversees the program, which supplies kits to AMA Districts, club members, race directors, and other riders who conduct sound-level education. The kit includes training materials, a spark-arrestor probe, a tachometer, a Type 2 sound meter, personal protection equipment, and a storage container. The sound meter project aims to inform riders about permissible sound levels by AMA criteria and provide complainants with quantitative information regarding levels that are within permissible legal bounds.

Restraining Factors

Supply chain interruptions present significant issues for electrical equipment manufacturers due to they have a detrimental impact on cost structures, inventory management, and production schedules. Production and delivery can be delayed by natural disasters, geopolitical turmoil, and transportation issues that impede the movement of raw materials, completed products, and components. These disruptions could also result in increased costs, a lack of inventory, and disgruntled clients, all of which would lower the supply chain's overall efficacy and profitability.

Market Segmentation

The sound level meters market share is classified into type and application.

• The ordinary sound level meters segment is estimated to hold the highest market revenue share through the projected period.

Based on the type, the sound level meters market is classified into precision sound meters and ordinary sound level meters. Among these, the ordinary sound level meters segment is estimated to hold the highest market revenue share through the projected period. Owing to its use in commercial, residential, educational, and other applications. Since sound level meters are widely used in both residential and commercial applications the rate of replacement in this market is a major factor driving the sound level meter industry.  In ordinary type meters class 1 meters are typically better suited for measuring environmental noise, but Class 2 meters are frequently utilized in industrial environments. The kind of meter you require will mostly depend on the kind of application you are working with. The majority of sound level meters have a range of 30-130 dB, although other ranges can be needed in certain situations. Environmental noise assessments, for example, can demand a range as low as 25 dB, but industrial environments might need a range of at least 140 dB.

• The aerospace & defense segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share through the forecast period.

Based on the application, the sound level meters market is classified into industrial & automation, electronics, aerospace & defense, communication, and others. Among these, the aerospace & defense segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share through the forecast period. The aerospace and defense industries have strict quality and safety standards. To ensure that the measurement and testing tools used in these industries match the strict requirements needed for military hardware, aerospace, aircraft, and associated components, calibration services are essential. Precise calibration enhances the overall performance, safety, and dependability of aerospace and defense systems by ensuring the accuracy of instruments such as avionics systems, radar equipment, navigational tools, and weapons systems. The requirement to maintain rigorous compliance with industry rules and ensure optimal operation in key applications is projected to create increased demand for specialist calibration services as these industries evolve and adopt cutting-edge technologies.
