The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to increasing electronic device usage, rising telecommunication infrastructure, advancements in automotive electronics, wireless technology proliferation, and the increasing miniaturization of electronics.

The emi shielding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $8.7 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rapid growth in 5G technology, the expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT), increasing electrification in vehicles, higher adoption of wearable devices, and growing aerospace and defense applications. Major trends in the forecast period include stringent EMI regulations, growth in aerospace and defense applications, a focus on sustainable EMI shielding materials, and the integration of EMI shielding in PCB design.

The anticipated growth of the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding market is expected to be driven by the growing demand for consumer electronics. Consumer electronics encompass electronic devices designed for purchase and use by end users for daily, non-commercial, or professional purposes. In electronic devices and equipment, EMI shielding involves the use of manufacturing processes and materials to shield signals from interference caused by outside electromagnetic signals and to prevent generated signals from interfering with nearby components. EMI shielding is widely employed in various consumer electronics, including flat-screen displays, desktops, laptops, servers, as well as portable devices such as GPS units and cell phones. For example, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), a US-based standard-setting and trade organization, projects that revenue for the US consumer electronics sector will reach a record $505 billion in 2022, showing a 2.8% increase over the remarkable 9.6% growth in 2021. Additionally, Eurostat, a UK-based directorate general of the European Commission, reported that high-tech goods accounted for 18% of all exports and 19% of all imports into the EU in 2021, with sales climbing from €258 billion ($274 billion) in 2011 to €368 billion ($293 billion) in 2021. Therefore, the growing demand for consumer electronics is identified as a key driver for the growth of the EMI shielding market.

The anticipated growth in the telecommunications sector is expected to drive the expansion of the EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) shielding market. Telecommunications involves the transmission of information, signals, messages, or data over a distance using electrical, electromagnetic, or optical systems. EMI shielding plays a crucial role in telecommunications by ensuring interference-free operation, maintaining signal integrity, and enhancing network reliability. For instance, in 2022, according to the International Telecommunication Union, a Switzerland-based specialized agency of the United Nations, it is projected that as of 2023, 5.4 billion people, or 67% of the global population, will be Internet users, with an expected 1.7 billion people joining the online community during that period. Therefore, the growth in telecommunications is identified as a key driver for the expansion of the EMI shielding market. The increasing reliance on telecommunications and the growing number of Internet users contribute to the demand for EMI shielding solutions to ensure optimal performance and reliability in communication networks.

The EMI shielding market is witnessing a significant trend towards product innovation. Major players in the market are actively engaging in strategic collaborations to enhance their market positioning. For instance, in March 2021, Seaman Corporation, a US-based plastic fabrication company specializing in manufacturing fabrics and membrane products, joined forces with V Technical Textiles, Inc. (VTT), a US-based manufacturer of RF/EMI shielding and conductive textile products. Together, they introduced Shelter-Rite RF, an innovative product designed to provide technologically advanced safety and security in situations demanding a more robust and durable RF-shielded material. This high-performance PVC-coated textile enables the utilization of lightweight RF shielding materials in environments where their application was previously impractical.

Major players in the EMI shielding market are actively investing in technologies such as the Integration of Advanced Materials in EMI shielding to fortify their market presence. The incorporation of advanced materials in the EMI shielding market contributes to enhanced performance, flexibility, sustainability, and adaptability to the evolving requirements of various industries. As an illustration, in March 2021, NanoEMI, a Poland-based deep-tech graphene company, successfully developed composites with the capability to block electromagnetic radiation, addressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) in electronic devices. The company's groundbreaking solutions harness graphene nanotechnology to create composites demonstrating the capacity to block electromagnetic radiation, with proven effectiveness of up to 70 dB per 1 mm of sample thickness. This technological breakthrough represents a substantial advancement, providing a robust alternative to traditional metal-based solutions for EMI shielding.

In June 2022, TE Connectivity (TE), a Switzerland-based technology company specializing in the design and manufacture of connectors and sensors across various industries, acquired Kemtron Ltd for an undisclosed sum. This strategic acquisition enhances TE's capabilities and design solutions, particularly for customers navigating EMC legislation and RFI/EMI shielding requirements. These solutions cater to both conventional markets and the expanding sectors of electric vehicles (EVs), 5G, Internet of Things (IoT), and renewable energy. Kemtron Ltd., based in the UK, is a provider of EMI/RFI shielding, environmental sealing, gaskets, and components.
