Description

The Global Acoustic Panel Market was valued at USD 8.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.7% to reach USD 15.4 billion by 2034.

The market’s growth is driven by increasing awareness of noise pollution, the rising emphasis on indoor comfort, and the growing adoption of acoustic materials in commercial and public buildings. The demand for acoustic panels is especially strong across offices, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and hospitality sectors, where controlling noise is critical for occupant wellbeing and productivity. Technological advancements and sustainability trends such as the use of recyclable, bio-based materials are further fueling product innovation and market expansion.

By product type, the Specialty Mineral Wool (fire-rated, moisture-resistant) segment generated USD 3.2 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% through 2034. These panels are increasingly favored for their dual properties of fire resistance and moisture durability, making them ideal for critical environments like hospitals, transit hubs, and data centers.

The wall-mounted acoustic panels segment generated USD 3.7 billion in 2024, owing to their versatility, aesthetic appeal, and high sound absorption efficiency. These panels are widely used across offices, educational institutions, theaters, and healthcare facilities to control reverberation and improve speech clarity. Their ability to blend seamlessly with interior designs while providing superior acoustic performance makes them a preferred choice for both new constructions and renovation projects.

Europe Acoustic Panel Market generated USD 2.9 billion in 2024, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% through 2034. The region’s growth is fueled by stringent environmental regulations, sustainable construction initiatives, and retrofitting projects aimed at improving acoustic performance in older buildings. Germany leads the European market with advanced architectural standards, a strong focus on green materials, and widespread integration of sound-absorbing panels in offices, airports, and cultural venues.

Leading companies such as Saint-Gobain S.A., Armstrong World Industries, Knauf Insulation, and Kingspan Group are strengthening their market position through product innovation, sustainability initiatives, and strategic partnerships. Firms are developing panels using recycled and bio-based materials to align with green building certifications like LEED and BREEAM. Investments in smart and IoT-enabled acoustic technologies are enhancing performance monitoring and adaptive sound control. Additionally, manufacturers are expanding direct sales networks and digital platforms to improve accessibility and customer engagement. Collaborations with architects, contractors, and government agencies are helping these players capture large commercial projects and retrofit opportunities.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
