EMF SHIELDING DEVICES FOR CELL PHONES MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

• Small area covered from electromagnetic emissions

For instance, according to The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), there is no scientific evidence that these EMF shields significantly decrease exposure from electromagnetic emissions. This could restrain growth of the global EMF shielding devices for cell phones market.

Increasing usage of smartphones will eventually lead to growth of global EMF shielding devices for cell phones market over the forecast period.

Moreover, these shields may sometimes interfere with the phone’s signal, causing cellphones to emit more powerful radiations to communicate with base station, which cannot be absorbed by shielding devices.

EMF Shielding Devices for Cell Phones Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

COVID-19 has significantly disrupted almost all the industries including automotive, medical & healthcare, consumer electronics, clothing & textile, food & beverage, automation, manufacturing, aerospace & defense, oil & gas, construction, electronics and semiconductor, agriculture, and others. Liquidity shortfall, cash crunch, and others are the factors that are restraining growth of the various sectors during COVID-19 pandemic. To combat COVID-19 pandemic, most of the countries had implemented lockdown and are now easing it phase-wise and industry wise. This has significantly impacted manufacturing sector as the facilities across the globe were temporarily shut down, such as in China, Italy, and India, among others.

North America is expected to hold dominant position in the global EMF shielding devices for cell phones market during the forecast period.

Among regions, North America held the largest market share in terms of revenue in the global EMF shielding for cell phones market in 2020. The region is expected to be dominant over the forecast period with more than 30% of the total market share in the global EMF shielding devices for cellphones market. This is due to excessive usage of smartphones in the U.S and Canada by consumers. For instance, according to a report from GSM association, a trade body of mobile network operators worldwide, North America had 321 million cellphone users in 2018.

Furthermore, introduction of 5G technology for mobile in the U.S. is expected to lead to high emission of radiation and this is expected to propel demand for EMF shielding device for cellphones in the forecast period. For instance, in August 2019, Verizon, one of the leading telecommunication brands which has already launched its next generation 5g service in some parts of the U.S., had announced to provide access to 5G network to half of the U.S. cities. The EMF shield will reduce radiation emitted by this strong wireless communication network thereby further providing protection against health issues caused by EMF radiation.
