The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The conduction segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Conduction EMI shielding is a technique used to mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI) in consumer electronics and contemporary electronic devices. This method employs conductive materials, such as copper and aluminum, which absorb and ground EMI through direct physical contact. Conduction shielding is effective in creating a continuous path to the ground, thereby preventing EMI from disrupting the functionality of electronic devices. This technique is particularly beneficial against low-frequency interference. For instance, conductive gaskets are used around the edges of electronic device casings to ensure any EMI penetrating through joints or openings is effectively grounded. This shielding method is crucial for maintaining data integrity in digital devices, digital healthcare solutions, and other sensitive electronic equipment in the electromagnetic environment. Electromagnetic interference can negatively impact the performance and reliability of these devices, making conduction EMI shielding an essential design technique.
