This study is an updated version of the previous EMI/RFI: Materials and Technology report. The objective in each report is to review and analyze electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) problems that are encountered in the operation of electronic equipment and the key implications for plastics and competitive materials/technologies used to suppress that interference.
There are several important differences between the shielding industry of today compared with the past, led by the increased number and quality of devices and components requiring shielding. The proliferation of portable electronic devices has also given the industry significant additional challenges, as well.
Another issue is the ever-increasing frequencies being encountered along with the proliferation of wireless devices, which may result in shifting of shielding options. In addition, the impact of other technologies such as Bluetooth, absorptive EMI and others will be assessed. This study will analyze the effects on material usage caused by these and other issues.
Another consideration is the increased introduction and interest of electronic products based on fiber optics that do not require products to minimize electromagnetic interferences. This technology has begun to impact the computer and TV industry, although not in a significant manner, as yet.

SCOPE AND FORMAT
The size and the growth of the global market for EMI/RFI shielding products is a function of several factors. 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. Consequently, the study summarizes the somewhat muddled global regulatory environment.
This report identifies the nature of the EMI/RFI problem, noting how shielding and electronics redesign can, in some instances, overcome these problems. Technologies and materials specific to EMI/RFI shielding are also identified and analyzed for their impact on plastics and other materials within a context of trends in components and devices used in the electronics and other industries such as medical, automotive and consumer products.
This 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 “time-line” 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. An analysis based on “volume” is not feasible because of the many disparate shielding products.
