Electromagnetic Shielding Polymers Market To Reach $12.90 Billion By 2033

Electromagnetic Shielding Polymers Market Growth & Trends

The global electromagnetic shielding polymers market size is anticipated to reach USD 12.90 billion by 2033 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The electromagnetic shielding polymers industry occupies an increasingly strategic position within the broader materials and electronics ecosystem, offering engineered polymer solutions that combine electrical shielding with mechanical and form-factor advantages. These materials are used across device housings, printed circuit assemblies, gaskets, and thin films where traditional metal shielding would add weight, complicate assembly, or restrict design freedom. Market adoption is driven by sectors that demand compact, integrated EMI control rather than retrofit metal cans.

A primary growth driver is the increasing complexity and density of electronic systems across the telecom, automotive, and consumer device sectors. Multi-band radios, higher switching frequencies, and denser PCB layouts create more stringent electromagnetic compatibility requirements, prompting designers to specify polymeric shielding early in the design cycle. Procurement teams favor materials that simplify assembly and reduce part counts while meeting validated attenuation criteria.

Technological progress is expanding the functional range of shielding polymers through the use of conductive fillers, intrinsically conductive chemistries, and printable formulations, which enable conformal application. These advances allow suppliers to tailor conductivity, adhesion, and cure characteristics to specific manufacturing processes, from spray coating to extrusion and inkjet printing. The result is a growing specification of specialty formulations for applications such as wearable electronics and sealed telecom enclosures.

The market players are focusing on various strategic initiatives such as mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations. For instance, in July 2021, DuPont completed its acquisition of Laird Performance Materials, bringing industry-leading EMI shielding and thermal management technologies into DuPont’s Electronics & Industrial portfolio. The deal expanded DuPont’s materials offering for conductive films, foils, and engineered shielding solutions used across automotive, telecom, and industrial markets.
