Technological developments have drastically reduced the size of noise dosimeters, making it more convenient and handy for installing it on the shoulder or near the ear of the wearer. The latest “badge” dosimeters, dBadge2, exhibit a few advantages over traditional dosimeters. They are small and lightweight, robust, wireless, and provide a unique solution for industrial applications. Thus, such added features are expected to propel the demand for noise dosimeters over the forecast period.
Although APAC is characterized by many developing countries, a high industrial presence, and a positive economic outlook, a significant reduction in noise levels was observed during the shutdown of industries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in 2021, with reopening of industrial activities in phases, the need for measuring noise levels escalated the demand for noise dosimeters. The manufacturing industries in Asia Pacific countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Singapore, and Thailand began recovering at a faster rate from 2022, thereby highlighting the demand for noise dosimeters. In July 2022, Indonesia increased the investment in the manufacturing sector to US$ 15.4 billion from US$ 11.2 billion in 2021—an increase of 38%. Thus, such growth prospects in industrialization during the pandemic recovery period are ensuring the demand for noise dosimeters, bolstering the APAC noise dosimeter market growth.
Despite the obvious noise pollution problems, people continue to blow their vehicle’s horn and play music at high volumes, exacerbating the damaging effects. Loud music prevalent in restaurants and bars often exceeds 100 dB, far beyond the recommended threshold of less than 30 dB. This is compelling the government bodies to take strict measures for reducing noise pollution across countries.
The stringent government regulations for the emission of sound levels in the industrial sector are emerging the need for using noise dosimeters, augmenting the market growth and benefiting the worker's health. With significant development in infrastructure, industrial activities, and community activities in Indonesia, noise has become a crucial factor in some places in Indonesia. Indonesia has certain regulations, guidelines, and standards to handle noise levels. For instance, the decree states noise limits that are allowed for workers according to their function, e.g., the noise limit is 55 dBA for residential areas and70 dBA for industrial areas. Also, Malaysia had replaced the existing regulation Factory and Machinery (Noise Exposure) Regulations 1989 with The Occupational Safety and Health (Noise Exposure) Regulations 2019 for noise emission levels in construction projects. Thus, such upcoming regulations garner the demand for deploying noise dosimeters in industrial premises.
The APAC noise dosimeter market, by type, is bifurcated into software and hardware. In 2021, the hardware segment accounted for a larger market share.
The APAC noise dosimeter market, based on device placement, is further divided into on-body noise dosimeter, free-field noise dosimeter, and in/near ear noise dosimeter. In 2021, the on-on-body noise dosimeter segment accounted for the largest market share.
By application, the APAC noise dosimeter market is segmented into aerospace & defense, automotive, construction, and factories & enterprises. In 2021, the factories & enterprises segment accounted for the largest market share.
