Increase in Electromagnetic Radiation from Electronic Components & the Need to Comply with Stringent EMC Regulations to Support Demand for EMI/RFI Shielding Materials & Technologies


Risk of electromagnetic pollution caused by the increasing proliferation of electronic equipment in various industries especially the automobile sector and the subsequent need to protect equipment from unwanted radio-frequency interference is poised to drive the global market for EMI and RFI Shielding Materials and Technologies to reach US$9.1 billion by 2024. The need to comply with strict environmental and EMC regulations is also driving growth in the market.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), also termed radio frequency interference (RFI) when referring to interference in RF spectrum, is described as a disturbance caused by an external source, which affects the electrical circuit by conduction, electromagnetic induction or electrostatic coupling. With electronic systems becoming increasingly complex, the risk of EMI radiation signals that can cause degradation, malfunction or interference of equipment continues to grow. Due to the health risk to humans caused by electromagnetic frequencies and to resolve other issues attributed to such exposures, the concept of EMI/RFI shielding has gained ground over the years. In EMI shielding, electronic components and cables are covered with magnetic or conductive materials to protect them against emissions attributed to electromagnetic frequencies (EMF). EMI/RFI shielding technologies and materials are widely used in a range of applications across telecom, IT, aerospace & defense, and consumer electronics, among other industries.

The global market for EMI and RFI materials and technologies is significantly influenced by the prevailing demand for a variety of electronic devices and components. The constant increase in the number as well as quality of electronic components and devices that require EMI/RFI shielding is expected to fuel growth in the EFI/RFI shielding products market. Also driving growth are factors such as rising demand for small and powerful electronic devices, the trend towards miniaturization of electronic components, persistent innovations in electronic displays and constant increase in chip speeds. The increasing shift towards wireless technologies across the world, which is leading to an increase in signals emanating from cellular phones, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices among others, is a prime factor driving growth in the EMI/RFI shielding market. Since waves interfere with each other, the quality of signals is adversely impacted, necessitating the use of shielding materials. The rapidly increasing deployment of 4G/LTE mobile infrastructure network globally and strict government regulations against electromagnetic interferences in various industries are fueling EMI-related issues, compelling design engineers to address these concerns, thus supporting growth in the global EMI shielding market. One of the major factors fueling growth in the global EMI/RFI technologies and materials market is the need to comply with mandatory EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) regulations and strict environmental legislations.

The commoditization of and the rising demand for a variety of consumer electronic devices, expanding applications of electronics in automotive industry, and the rising popularity of electric vehicles and hybrid electric vehicles are enhancing the demand for EMI shielding products. The prevalence and vulnerability of mobile devices like tablets, mobile handsets, laptops and speakers to EMI has major implications for the EMI shielding market. The integration of more technology into vehicles requires solutions to ensure protection from interference. Latest car models come with advanced features like touch screen controls, dashboard navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and a number of electronic systems that contribute to EMI. These systems require effective shielding to ensure proper functioning of the automotive circuitry. Development and introduction of new electronic devices, and the need for electronic device manufacturers to ensure that their products comply with EMC regulations are propelling demand for EMI/RFI shielding materials and technologies.

As stated by the new market research report on EMI and RFI Shielding Materials and Technologies, Asia-Pacific represents the largest regional market, worldwide. Asia-Pacific is also forecast to register the fastest CAGR of 6.8% over the analysis period, mainly driven by the rapid pace of developments in consumer electronics, automotive and defense sectors. The increasing sales of consumer electronic products such as tablets, smartphones, LEDs, computers, LCDs, and home appliances, the deployment of advanced cellular infrastructure network and rapid growth of automotive industry are all contributing towards the increased demand for EMI shielding products. With countries such as China, India, Korea, and Taiwan emerging as lucrative markets for consumer electronics products, the EMI shielding market in the region is poised for growth. Also driving demand for EMI shielding products are factors such as the increasing utilization of electronic systems in automotive industry and the shift towards electric vehicles.
