Motor vehicle sound signalling equipment market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

The market for motor vehicle sound signalling equipment in Poland, measured in value terms, contracted between 2018 and 2022. Market size fell from 14 394 thousand USD in 2018 to 9 272 thousand USD in 2022, as imports declined from 17 858 thousand USD to 12 084 thousand USD over the period. Domestic production also decreased from 1 374 thousand USD to 1 075 thousand USD, while exports remained under 5 000 thousand USD until 2023.

A dramatic shift occurred in 2024 when exports surged to 16 380 thousand USD. This jump was driven by the enforcement of European Union regulations mandating acoustic vehicle alerting systems (AVAS) for electric and hybrid vehicles, which require minimum sound levels at low speeds. Concurrently, rising demand for electric vehicles in Poland created a direct need for these electronic sound signalling systems, stimulating export activity.
