For instance, in May 2021, PPG Industries, announced the completion of its acquisition of Worwag, this acquisition is company’s another step forward to strategic growth plan and that will further expand the company product portfolio.
Moreover, there has been a decent rise in the adoption of electric vehicles across several major economies including US, UK, France, China, and India in the last few years due to growing concerns regarding the pollution cause from diesel and other fuel vehicles and their harmful effects on human health and environment as well. The governments are further promoting the production of EV vehicles through several favorable initiatives including tax rebates and other non-financial benefits, which in turn, fueling the adoption and demand for EMI shielding in automotive industry worldwide.
For instance, according to a report published in January 2023, electric vehicle sales in India have reached over one million units in the year 2022, with a significant growth of 300% compared to 322,877 units of vehicles sold in the previous year. Currently, EVs accounted for approx. 4.7% of total automobile sales which is expected to grow drastically in the coming years.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the growth of the EMI shielding market. The rapid emergence of the deadly coronavirus has had severe impact on various industries, as manufacturing facilities being stooped due to imposed lockdown and other restrictions on business operations. The consumer preferences have shifted from luxury to necessity, that resulted in declining sales of automobiles and several consumer electronics during the pandemic.
Growth Drivers
The EMI shielding market has witnessed significant growth due to the increasing prevalence of electromagnetic interference (EMI) caused by the proliferation of electronic devices, and wireless technologies have created a growing demand for effective EMI shielding solutions. EMI can lead to disruptions and performance issues in electronic systems, necessitating shielding to prevent interference and ensure proper device functioning.
The rising adoption of electronic devices across industries such as telecommunications, automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer electronics has fueled the demand for EMI shielding. These devices generate electromagnetic radiation, making shielding crucial to prevent interference between devices and maintain their optimal performance.
The stringent EMI regulations imposed by governments and regulatory bodies worldwide have driven the demand for EMI shielding products. Compliance with these regulations requires effective shielding solutions to ensure electromagnetic compatibility and minimize interference-related problems.
Moreover, factors such as the increasing miniaturization of electronics, growing demand for high-speed electronics, advancements in EMI shielding technologies, focus on electromagnetic compatibility, and increasing awareness for EMI-related issues have contributed to the market's growth. These drivers have led to an increased demand for EMI shielding solutions that can mitigate interference problems, maintain signal integrity, and protect sensitive electronic devices from damage or malfunction.
