Acoustic Panel Market Report 2026

The acoustic panel market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $10.74 billion in 2025 to $11.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing urban noise mitigation needs, early adoption of fabric and foam panels, rising construction of commercial interiors, reliance on imported acoustic fibers, growth of office and institutional acoustic requirements.

The acoustic panel market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $15.12 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for eco-friendly acoustic materials, expansion of customized acoustic solutions, increased investment in smart acoustic systems, growth in architectural acoustics integration, development of advanced composite soundproofing materials. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for high-performance acoustic materials, rising need for noise control in urban environments, expansion of advanced sound-absorbing product lines, growing adoption of design-integrated acoustic solutions, increasing customization in interior acoustic treatments.

The growth of the construction industry is driving increased demand in the acoustic panel market. This industry encompasses the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of structures across residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure segments. The rise in construction activity is largely attributed to ongoing urbanization, as growing populations in cities create greater demand for housing, commercial spaces, and public infrastructure. As modern buildings prioritize both functionality and comfort, acoustic panels are increasingly integrated into designs to control sound in environments such as offices, schools, and homes. These panels contribute to acoustic comfort by offering effective and visually appealing sound-absorbing solutions. For instance, in April 2025, the United States Census Bureau reported that construction spending reached $2.15 trillion in 2024, up from $2.02 trillion in 2023. This surge in construction spending is contributing directly to the expansion of the acoustic panel market.

Leading companies in the acoustic panel sector are focusing on product innovation, including the development of fine-fissured ceiling panels with enhanced sound absorption, to improve acoustic performance and installation efficiency. Fine-fissured ceiling panels feature textured surfaces designed to optimize sound control while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing appearance. In November 2024, Armstrong World Industries (AWI), a US-based building materials manufacturer, introduced School Zone Fine-Fissured Templok Ceiling Panels. These panels combine high sound absorption with a durable, textured surface tailored for educational spaces. The Templok installation system allows for quick and secure placement, reducing labor time and increasing overall efficiency. The panels also meet rigorous acoustic and safety standards, making them suitable for classrooms and other learning environments where noise control is essential.

In July 2023, Kingspan Group, an Ireland-based provider of high-performance insulation and building envelope solutions, acquired Troldtekt A/S for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Kingspan to enhance its portfolio of interior acoustic solutions, strengthen its position in the sustainable building materials market, and boost its offerings in natural, high-performance acoustic panel systems. Troldtekt A/S is a Denmark-based manufacturer of eco-friendly acoustic panels made from wood and cement, designed to deliver sound absorption and architectural aesthetics for both commercial and residential buildings.

Major companies operating in the acoustic panel market are BASF SE, Saint-Gobain S.A., Kingspan Group, Rockwool International A/S, USG Corporation, Knauf Insulation GmbH, Armstrong World Industries, BuzziSpace, BIMobject, Asona Ltd, Audimute, Auralex Acoustics, Fellert Acoustical Ceilings AB, Acoustics First, Envirotech Systems Ltd, Fabricmate, G&S Acoustics, Vicoustic NA, AcustiArt, Autex Industries Ltd.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the acoustic panel market by raising costs for imported fiberglass, foam materials, fabric coverings, and acoustic composite inputs. Commercial, institutional, and industrial projects in regions dependent on foreign raw materialssuch as the US and Europeface increased pricing pressures. However, tariffs encourage domestic acoustic material production and stimulate innovation in locally sourced panel designs.

The acoustic panel market research report is one of a series of new reports that provides acoustic panel market statistics, including acoustic panel industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a acoustic panel market share, detailed acoustic panel market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the acoustic panel industry. This acoustic panel market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

An acoustic panel is a sound-absorbing structure typically constructed from foam, fabric, or other porous materials, intended to reduce noise and manage sound reflections within a given space. Its main function is to enhance sound quality by minimizing echo and reverberation in settings such as studios, offices, and auditoriums.

The primary types of acoustic panels include wooden acoustic panels, mineral wool acoustic panels, fabric acoustic panels, polyester acoustic panels, and others. Wooden acoustic panels are crafted from wood to absorb sound, reduce echo, and improve acoustic performance while also contributing to the visual appeal of interior spaces. Materials commonly used in acoustic panels include fiberglass, melamine foam, wood, fabric, and composite materials. Design options cover standard panels, custom-designed panels, printed panels, various color selections, and textured finishes. These panels are used across commercial, residential, industrial, transportation, and institutional environments, catering to end users such as architects and interior designers, contractors and builders, homeowners, business owners, educational administrators, and healthcare professionals.North America was the largest region in the acoustic panel market in 2025. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region in the forecast period.
