Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding refers to the process of preventing radio frequency interference (RFI) from damaging sensitive mechanical devices. It involves screening through conductive coatings, metals and laminates, made using copper, aluminum and stainless steel to absorb EMI that is transmitted through the air. It also obstructs the electromagnetic field within a physical space by using barriers of conductive or magnetic materials and minimizes corrosion and oxidation. Owing to this, it finds extensive applications across various industries, including automotive, defense, military, aerospace, healthcare, telecommunications, and information technology (IT). EMI shield is standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Standards Association, which have to be strictly followed by EMI shielding companies. Thus, stringent rules and regulation that have to be followed to comply with those standards limits many EMI shielding providers to enter into the market. This in turn, is predicted the limit the growth of EMI shielding market in the coming years.
