Market Overview

Technologies used for electronic equipment, including small devices that are incorporated in our modern daily life, are generally becoming more complex. Yearly upgrades are observed in many products, and one of the contributors to the upgrades is the technological advancements in EMC shielding and noise suppression technology. As electronic devices become widespread, demand for preventing EMI, improving EMS, and maintaining EMC overall is increasing evermore. Therefore, solutions for EMC shielding and noise suppression are indispensable.

Target of this research includes near-field solutions, far-field solutions, and electronic components for EMC shielding and noise suppression. The global market size of EMC shielding and noise suppression solutions in 2023 was estimated at 3,990,985 million yen, based on the sales of businesses. Since EMC shielding and noise suppression are indispensable for electronic devices, the market is unlikely to experience a major slump. It is expected to grow moderately hereafter.

Saturated Market of Metal Shielding Case for Circuit Board May See Recovery Thanks to Digital Technology Development

Metal shielding cases, the metallic box-shaped case (cap) that are welded to circuit board (“onboard”), which are referred to as "sheet metal shielding" in Japan, have been used to cover devices on rigid circuit boards that require control of electromagnetic interference. The cases have been used in various products as EMC shielding and noise suppression solution.

Surface-mountable thin metallic shielding cases become popular for smartphones, feature phones, and tablet computers. Since featurephones are used widely in the Middle East, Africa, and India, demand for LTE compatible featurephones may grow further in the future. The market growth of metal shielding case for circuit board is likely to remain flat without, due to market saturation of its major application, smartphones. However, in light of advancements in digital technologies adopted in smartphones such as AI and IoT, there is a chance that the market may turn for the better.

Future Outlook

Being essential parts of electronic devices, the demand for EMC shielding & noise suppression solutions have been strong. The global EMC shielding & noise suppression solutions market in 2024 is projected to grow by 1.9% from preceding year to 4,067,518 million yen, and to 4,891,621 million yen by 2028.
While the market does not currently observe a market driver strong enough to grow the market instantly, a gradual increase of EMC shielding & noise suppression solutions in automotive and defense industry may be a sign of demand growth. Meanwhile, the demand for smartphones and tablets continues in the background of the expansion of AI and IoT. For this reason, even if we cannot expect rapid growth in applications for small electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets, the demand for EMC protection and noise reduction solutions will continue, thus manufacturers keep on developing other technologies and products.
