Executive Summary
One of the most significant reasons behind the market’s revenue growth is the increasing usage of electric systems and components in the automobile industry, especially resulting from the growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles. The increase in automated systems in the automobile sector is likely to drive demand for EMI/RFI shielding in the coming years. Likewise, the widespread adoption of 5G/ long-term evolution (LTE) infrastructure and the higher demand for consumer electronics, like smartphones, tablets and home appliances, are also expected to fuel market growth.
The major shielding options included in this report are metal cabinets; conductive coatings (e.g., electroless plating, vacuum metallization, conductive paints); conductive plastics; laminates/tapes/foil; and miscellaneous products. Miscellaneous shielding methods, which include gaskets, metal sheets, filters, connectors and wire mesh, are likely to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period as these products are effective and less costly than most conductive coating products, metal cabinets and laminates/tape/foils.
The main components of EMI/RFI shields are metal cabinets and conductive coatings. In 2022, the conductive coatings segment accounted for the largest share of the EMI/RFI market. Conductive coatings and paints have become a popular choice due to their advantages over competing methods, particularly in high-volume applications where cost is a primary concern. An additional boost to the conductive coatings and paints market results from the integration of various electronic systems and equipment in vehicles.
Earlier, metals were widely used to shield electronics from interference; however, they have been increasingly replaced by conductive coatings as these coatings have high heat conductivity. Product manufacturers use conductive coatings and paints to develop EMI/RFI shielding for non-metallic surfaces and plastics in phones as well as various telecommunications, medical and military systems. Another major factor impacting the market is the strict environmental and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) rules that apply to all businesses.
Numerous companies are involved in the EMI/RFI shielding business, many of which specialize in specific areas, such as gaskets, metal cabinets, conductive paints, electroless plating and vacuum metallization. Others provide a wide spectrum of products. Some of the prominent vendors operating in the EMI/RFI material and technologies market include Parker Hannifin Corp., PPG Industries Inc., Henkel AG & Co. KGaA, 3M, DuPont, RTP Co. and others. These vendors are introducing novel materials into their product offerings such as conductive polymers, sophisticated alloys and nanomaterials.
With the rapid development of fifth-generation (5G) communication technology and wearable electronic devices, EMI/RFI and radiation pollution from electromagnetic waves have emerged as significant issues in consumer electronics, artificial intelligence (AI), information security and other fields. Electromagnetic wave leakage not only damages delicate electronic communication components, but also poses serious health risks to people. However, polymer-based EMI/RFI shielding composites have become a crucial research area for producing efficient EMI shielding materials due to their superior mechanical properties.
