EMI shielding materials forecast to 2018

The report “EMI/RFI: Materials and technologies reports” is an overview of the global market for products to deal with electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) problems that are encountered in operation of electronic equipment and implications for plastics and competitive materials/technologies used to suppress that interference. The report considers the need for conductive coatings and plastics, laminates, and metal cabinets needed for the ever-increasing frequencies for all electronics, especially in wireless devices. The impact of Bluetooth is considered as well as the use of EMI absorptive materials and fiber optics. Shielding not only closely follows the demand for electronic devices and components, but also is a valuable resource to assist manufacturers in complying with ever-changing safety and performance regulations. The report also discusses the current state of the electronics and other related industries, the market for plastics-based shielding options, key participants, shielding technologies, patents, materials, shielding components, a “timeline” of global developments, and examples of worldwide regulatory standards and environmental issues confronting the electronic shielding business. Compound average growth rates (CAGRs) are provided by square feet and 2013 dollars. Send an e-mail to for more information.
