Demand for eco-friendly sound barriers is rising, especially those made from recycled materials, natural fibres, and renewable resources. Barriers from recycled plastics, rubber, and wood, including plant-based and bamboo materials, are popular for their lower environmental impact and sustainability.
Moreover, transparent sound barriers made from acrylic, and polycarbonate are gaining traction in urban areas where aesthetics matter. These barriers not only reduce noise effectively but also improve visibility, making them ideal for scenic or safety-sensitive locations.
Purchasing and installing sound barriers in large-scale infrastructure projects can be costly. Using high-quality materials like advanced acoustic panels or transparent barriers can further increase expenses. Traditional sound barriers face competition from new noise reduction technologies, such as smart noise-reducing windows, and acoustic pavements. Although still developing, these innovations offer more precise and effective noise control, especially in urban areas.
In addition, sound barriers made from materials like wood or certain plastics may not withstand extreme weather conditions, such as high winds, heavy rain, or temperature fluctuations. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of these events, potentially reducing the lifespan and effectiveness of these barriers.
