Noise Control Services Global Overview
Definition
Summary
Noise control services suppliers provide consultations, surveys, building insulation, and acoustical engineering work designed to reduce the decibels (dB) of noise emitted from particular sources, such as industrial equipment or construction sites. Services may include passive measures, such as the installation of sound absorbent materials, enclosures, mufflers or noise barriers, as well as active measures, such as friction or turbulence elimination. Operators may advise buying firms to replace worn parts, reduce the mechanical shock between parts or reduce fluid flow noise. Services are employed primarily in the transportation, manufacturing, and energy sectors.

Warning Trends
Public sector demand slumps as the government enters shutdown
- On October 1, the US federal government entered a shutdown after negotiations for a new appropriations bill failed.
- During a government shutdown, essential federal government operations, such as law enforcement, air-traffic control, and social security, persist, while nonessential operations are paused and workers involved in these operations are furloughed. Thus, the current shutdown is expected to result in 750,000 federal workers being furloughed, representing a $400 million reduction in daily expenditure by the federal government.
- This significant reduction in federal spending and operations will affect the entire US economy, weakening aggregate demand and slowing economic growth. For example, the 35-day government shutdown in Q1, 2019, reduced aggregate demand in both the public and private sectors, resulting in a 0.2% reduction in GDP growth that quarter.
- The effects of the shutdown are likely to be most acute in markets where the public sector is a major buyer segment, weakening demand and increasing average vendor risk by destabilizing important revenue streams.
- As negotiations for a new appropriations bill to reopen the government remain ongoing, ProcurementIQ will continue to monitor the situation and update this story with the latest information.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
The United States is a net importer of sound insulation and absorption materials, meaning it imports more than it exports. However, since the noise control services market is a service-based market, foreign penetration into the US market in terms of insulation materials does not have a strong impact on buyer power.
The pace of regulatory change in the noise control services market has been slow during the past three years and is not expected to have a strong impact on the buying process. Although any increase in regulation may put upward pressure on the price buyers pay for noise control services, changes are not anticipated in the next three years.
Supply chain risk associated with noise control services has been moderate during the past three years. Suppliers face the most risk from upstream suppliers of complex computer software, specialized equipment used to measure and interpret acoustic data, and polyurethane foam manufacturers derived from volatile petroleum by-products, which, if disrupted, could lead to supply chain issues that negatively impact the procurement process.
The top four providers of noise control services account for a combined market share of less than 30.0%, indicating a low level of market share concentration. As most providers are small companies and non-employers that operate on a regional basis, buyers benefit from increased price competition.
The average vendor risk among noise control service providers is low. Moderate profit margins help mitigate the average vendor’s financial risk, better ensuring the continuity of market services.
