For instance, Bekaert introduced EMI shielding fibers and yarns to protect the people working in close proximity of high-voltage lines. The market players are channelizing efforts to produce EMI shielding materials that are effective, affordable, and meet the market needs.

Companies are deploying techniques to improve the current production and efficiency of light-shielding materials, such as plastics and other components. The use of polycarbonate and other types of plastics coupled with particular metal alloys are helping companies deliver affordable, suitable, and lightweight materials.

The Proliferation of Wireless Technology: A Key Market Opportunity

Rapid growth of wireless technology is paving the way for EMI shielding materials worldwide. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Global Positioning System (GPS), smart speakers, and voice-controlled intelligent personal assistants have created umpteen opportunities for EMI wave shielding materials market. The advanced navigation systems built in the car and wireless communications within the hospitals are offering more features than ever for the consumers. All these devices need protection in order to avoid inconvenience to consumers and save lives in critical industries, such as military and aerospace, among others.

Recently, there has been a huge demand for Amazon’s voice-enabled technology from the automakers. Amazon is expecting to capitalize on the growing demand for connectivity in vehicles and provide a seamless ecosystem for ‘Alexa on the Go’. In 2019, the company announced partnerships with almost ten automakers and is expecting additional tie-ups and expanded relationships with existing automaker partners in the next year. Some of the automakers partnered with Amazon include Ford Motor, Audi, General Motors, BMW, and Volkswagen for ‘Alexa in-vehicle 2020’. Earlier in 2019, Audi embedded the technology into one of its all-electric Audi e-Tron. 

Regional Analysis

The U.S. to Spearhead North America’s EMI Wave Shielding Material Market

North America’s EMI wave shielding material market is backed by the strong presence of aerospace and defense industries and substantial investments in smart technologies. The U.S. aerospace and defense industry is considered as one of the world leaders in designing, manufacturing, and developing of technologically advanced aircraft, military equipment, and space systems. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can lead to the degradation or malfunction of aerospace equipment. The EMI radiations can affect the radio and radar signals, disrupting the communication between the pilot and the control tower.

Electronic devices carried by air passengers such as portable laptops, cell phones, and electronic gadgets, among others, are known for emitting high EMI waves, resulting in several aviation incidents. New digital aviation systems and flight control systems are contributing to higher amounts of radiation; as a result, EMI shielding is a crucial component in all avionic systems. Several government regulations and standards have been devised to reduce EMI emittance. As per the statistics recorded by the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), the U.S. aerospace and defense industry generated sales revenue to the tune of USD 929 billion in 2018, up by 4.17% from the previous year.

Segmental Analysis

Thermoplastic to Hold the Highest Market Share during the Forecast Period

By type, the market is segmented into conductive polymers, conductive coatings and paints, metal shielding products, and EMI/EMC filters. Traditionally, metal has been a material of choice for the manufacturing of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. However, the use of plastic materials for EMI shielding has been gaining traction lately. The plastic material includes conductive polymers such as thermoplastic and thermosetting materials. In 2017, the conductive polymers market for EMI shielding was valued at USD 2,069.2 million.

Currently, thermoplastic holds the highest share in the EMI wave shielding material market. Thermoplastic resins are extensively used for the manufacturing of EMI wave shielding material as they are natural insulators and exhibit beneficial properties. This resin offers significant advantages over metal and other types of plastics.

The thermoplastic family can be reheated, reshaped, and frozen repeatedly, making it an ideal choice for the EMI shielding material manufacturing. This also allows the thermoplastic composite to be recycled at the end of its shelf-life, which cannot be achieved with thermosetting resins. Thermoplastics have gained popularity as they are light in weight and protect sensitive electronic components from incoming EMI. They also prevent excessive emission of EMI to other susceptible equipment.
