The Global Viscoelastic Dampers Market was valued at USD 2.5 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR exceeding 10% from 2024 to 2032. The demand for viscoelastic dampers (VEDs) is being propelled by rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, particularly in emerging economies. As high-rise buildings, bridges, and other infrastructure projects come to life, there is an increasing reliance on advanced damping systems to uphold structural stability.
For example, in June 2023, MAURER, in partnership with Getzner Werkstoffe GmbH, unveiled the innovative SIP-V-bearing. This cutting-edge component employs four SIP-V units to shield the building's sensitive core from diverse challenges, including high-frequency vibrations and seismic events. To counteract potential tilting of the slender building core, MAURER strategically installed four hydraulic dampers on the top floor.
The overall industry is bifurcated into material type, application, end-use industry, and region.
The market is segmented by application into building and construction, bridges and infrastructures, industrial machinery, automotive, and more. Notably, the bridges and infrastructures segment is the fastest growing, boasting a CAGR of over 13% from 2024 to 2032. Regions prone to earthquakes are increasingly prioritizing the seismic resilience of bridges and vital infrastructure. Viscoelastic dampers are instrumental in this endeavor, as they absorb and dissipate energy from seismic waves, minimizing structural damage and enhancing safety.
Material-wise, the viscoelastic dampers market is divided into rubber-based and polymer-based dampers. The polymer-based segment led the market in 2023 and is on track to surpass USD 4 billion by 2032. Advancements in polymer science are paving the way for next-gen materials with exceptional damping properties. These innovative polymers not only boast enhanced durability and temperature stability but also show heightened effectiveness in vibration damping. Consequently, their applicability is expanding across sectors like automotive, aerospace, and industrial domains.
North America is witnessing an unparalleled surge in the viscoelastic dampers market, with projections of reaching USD 2 billion by 2032. The region's vigorous construction sector, combined with stringent building codes aimed at bolstering seismic resilience, is driving the uptake of viscoelastic dampers. Furthermore, the U.S. government's emphasis on disaster resilience and modernizing infrastructure is significantly fueling the market' growth.
