Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.

Key Market Driver

Growing demand for EMI shielding among end-user industries is the key factor driving the growth of the market. The integration of human-machine interfaces, such as gesture recognition, facial recognition, and speech recognition, leads to complexity in the design, manufacture, packaging, and testing of electronic components. integrated in-vehicle components. EMI protection has become an integral part of these complex components to protect them from EMI. Developments in the form of advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS), telecommunications, digital cockpits, autonomous vehicles, vehicle-to-vehicle communication, and electric vehicles are, among other things, making a significant contribution to the increasing amount of electronic content in modern automobiles.

Furthermore, smartphones are the main revenue contributor to the consumer electronics industry. Globally, the smartphone market is maturing and market players are focusing on introducing innovative features and technologies into their products. These features include the development of highly functional electronic components integrated into the PCB. The electronic components of these PCBs are separated by an EMI shield to reduce the impact of EMI. Hence, such factors are leading to the demand for EMI protection to protect against external interference in this equipment, in turn, boosting the growth of the market during the forecast period. 

Significant Market Trends

Growing demand for package-level EMI shielding is the primary trend in the market. Package-level EMI protection provides reliable shielding and bonding performance under stressful electronic conditions and environments that arise from the abundance of PCBs in modern electronics. The growing demand for additional features and improved performance from customers leads to the very complex manufacturing of PCBs. This is creating a demand for reliable EMI protection solutions, which is driving the transition to packet-level EMI shielding.

Furthermore, Henkel is one of the leading market players that offer package-level EMI protection. The company offers matching protection and separation materials, providing the inner shielding of each component and the outer shielding from package to package. The adoption of EMI shielding at the package level is expected to increase which is boost the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Major Market Challenge

Threat from Chinese low-cost EMI shielding products is the challenge that affects the growth of the market. The international electromagnetic interference shielding market players face challenges as the cost of Chinese electromagnetic shielding products is only about one-fifth of the price set by international players. Furthermore, international suppliers must include advanced technologies and materials to comply with the stringent regulations of the mature economy of the market. In addition, they need to adapt to emerging low-cost economic markets by adapting their business models, technology, and product portfolios. Chinese manufacturers also receive encouraging support from the government, which helps them to establish a low-cost market.

As a result, it is difficult for international electromagnetic interference shielding market players to effectively compete with their Chinese rivals in terms of product costs, especially in emerging economies. As emerging economies are expected to lead the adoption of electromagnetic protection products in the future, it is difficult for the international market players to compete with cost-effective products offered by Chinese companies and effectively convey the benefits in terms of the efficiency of their high-quality EMI shielding products to customers. Thus, such initiations and changes are creating a threat that will impede the growth of the market during the forecast period.
