Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is a process of using materials and techniques to protect electronic devices and systems from the effects of electromagnetic interference. EMI is utilized when electromagnetic radiation is emitted by one electronic device and adversely affects the performance of another nearby electronic device. This interference can lead to degradation or disruption of signal integrity, malfunctions, or other undesirable effects. EMI shielding aims to prevent unwanted electromagnetic radiation from reaching sensitive components and to protect against external electromagnetic fields. The EMI shielding market is growing due to the increasing adoption of digital devices for high-shield performance and flexibility, rapid advancement in wireless technology, and the increased adoption of electronics in various sectors. Additionally, the utilization of EMI shielding films in automotive manufacturing and the adoption of EMI shielding for medical devices to prevent equipment failure fuel the market growth. However, factors such as fluctuating costs of raw materials, high installation costs, and operational limitations of EMI shielding hinder market growth. The market has several opportunities, including increasing investments in 5G technologies and technological advancements and research and development (R&D) in EMI shielding films, which are expected to support the market growth in the coming years.

Material: EMI & EMC filters ensuring the proper functioning of electronic equipment

Conductive coatings and paints are used extensively for EMI shielding applications across various industries, including electronics, automotive, aerospace, and telecommunications. These materials comprise a base material, usually epoxy, polyurethane, or acrylic, embedded with conductive elements such as silver, copper, nickel, or aluminum. Conductive polymers are emerging as a lightweight and flexible alternative to traditional EMI shielding materials and are witnessing increased adoption in consumer electronics, medical devices, and smart textiles. These materials work by dispersing conductive particles throughout a polymer matrix, endowing the material with the ability to attenuate electromagnetic waves. EMI (electromagnetic interference) and EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) filters are critical components in ensuring the proper functioning of electronic equipment in compliance with regulatory standards. These filters are designed to reduce the interference caused by both conducted and radiated electromagnetic noise. EMI shielding tapes and laminates are used to seal seams cable wrapping and provide shielded enclosures for various applications. These materials usually consist of metallic foils, conductive fabrics, or metalized textiles with adhesive backing. Their flexibility, relative ease of use, and customizable shapes and sizes make them especially suitable for quick fixes and prototyping. Other than this, springs, bands, enclosures, air vents, foam, and gaskets are a few EMI shielding materials that provide mechanical functionality, and effective electromagnetic shielding helps create comprehensive solutions for protecting electronic devices from electromagnetic interference.

Method: High utilization of conduction methods to prevent unwanted electromagnetic radiation

Shielding is a critical measure to prevent unwanted interference caused by electromagnetic radiation in electronic devices and systems, which involves two distinct techniques: conduction and radiation. Conduction is essentially the passage of electricity through a material, in this case, the EMI shield. Materials having free-charge carriers, such as metal, are good conductors of electricity. In EMI shielding, conduction is vital in grounding unwanted or excess electrical energy. Unlike conduction, which involves the physical passage of energy, radiation pertains to energy emission in the form of electromagnetic waves. In the context of EMI shielding, radiation primarily refers to the emission or absorption of electromagnetic waves by the shield, which helps counteract the impact of EMI. Conduction involves the direct transfer of energy using conductive materials; radiation involves the absorption and re-emission of energy in the form of electromagnetic waves. Conduction is more effective with low-frequency electromagnetic disturbances and directly grounded sources of interference, whereas radiation is most effective against high-frequency or broadcast sources of interference.

Industry: Significant adoption of EMI shielding in the automotive industry

In the aerospace industry, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding is essential for providing the reliable operation of onboard systems necessary for navigation, communication, and aircraft control. Advanced materials and technologies are utilized to protect sensitive electronics from EMI, which can originate from a wide range of sources, including onboard equipment, external radar, and cosmic radiation. The automotive industry has observed a significant integration of electronic systems for enhanced performance, safety, and user experience. EMI shielding has become more pivotal with the rising demand and utilization of electric vehicles (EVs) and autonomous driving technologies, as shielding components protect against EMI in electronic control units (ECUs), infotainment systems, and sensor modules. Consumer electronics manufacturers are continually challenged by the need to ensure product functionality while operating near other electronic devices. EMI shielding plays a vital role in the reliability and performance of smartphones, tablets, PCs, and home appliances. EMI shielding is indispensable in the healthcare sector due to the essential nature of medical devices and equipment. The proper functioning of MRI machines, patient monitoring systems, electronic implants, and diagnostic devices is sensitive to EMI, which can result in malfunctions or data inaccuracies. Telecom and IT networks are the backbones of modern communication, and EMI shielding ensures data integrity and the uninterrupted operation of infrastructure. The need for EMI shielding solutions to prevent signal degradation and cross-talk is paramount with the rapid expansion of data centers and the deployment of 5G networks.
