Market Introduction
The US, Canada, and Mexico are the key contributors to the North America noise dosimeter market. The US and Canada are developed countries in terms of modern technologies, standard of living, and infrastructure. North America is one of the frontrunners in terms of developing and accepting new, advanced technologies. The significant adoption of technologies in the last five years has fueled the adoption of various technologies across industries such as aerospace & defense and construction.
Noise exposure and the resulting hearing loss are well-known in military service. Numerous studies have found that active-duty servicemen and women suffer from high rates of noise-induced hearing injury (NIHI), and new figures from the US Department of Veterans Affairs show that the number of veterans with hearing loss is expanding at an alarming rate. The US Department of Defense (DoD) updated its Hearing Conservation Program in 2010 and in 2017 has revised the DoD Design Criteria Standard Noise Limits (MIL-STD-1474E), which defines allowable noise levels in the design of all military acquisitions, including weapons and vehicles, to reduce hearing loss. This has resulted in the high adoption of noise dosimeter across the US DoD, thereby contributing to the growth of the market across the region.
North America has the presence of technologically advanced infrastructures and industrial sectors to fuel the innovation. North America leads the global dosimeter industry. The US, which is the largest market across the globe, is witnessing marginally higher growth than the global market average. According to a 2021 report by the World Trade Organization (WTO), demand for traded goods will be driven by North America (11.4%) due to large fiscal injections in the US, which would stimulate other economies through the trade channel. This has led to a stagnant demand for the noise dosimeter in the region as there are several restraining factors. The market players in North America are also open to the critical supply and supply chain. In addition, as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, automakers and their suppliers employ ~1 million people in the US. These employees’ welfare is the top concern for corporate leaders that leads to the increasing usage of noise dosimeter in the region. However, the imposition of lockdown strategy adopted by respective governments due to COVID-19 has resulted in slower production of noise dosimeters. Thus, scarcity of workforce coupled with halt has resulted in a substantial loss in the North America noise dosimeter market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The noise dosimeter market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 252.98 million in 2021 to US$ 329.66 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2021 to 2028. The microphone could be knocked during the measurements, resulting in inaccurate data for the genuine peak level and maybe over-estimating the time average result. When the dosimeter is knocked or bumped accidently (or purposely), certain current dosimeters have a self-monitoring vibration sensor that identifies samples throughout the run, and these findings can be identified in the software and erased after downloading. The dosimeter's vibration sensor is also useful for monitoring while the instrument is not being worn. This serves as a warning when the operator has taken it off and placed it down. Even if the operator is just sitting at a bench working regularly, the dosimeters may identify when the device is being worn. The available equipment in the early days of personal noise dosimetry measurement merely produced an overall noise dosage percentage result based on one of the procedures set by regulatory organizations across the world. Greater data, such as peak levels, maximum levels, time average levels, and normalized, time-weighted average levels, were gradually included to better depict the measurement and provide more insight into what had transpired. Thus, the constant integration of advanced technologies and sensors are expected to influence the efficiency of noise dosimeters, thereby creating growth opportunities for the market.
