The global EMF shielding devices for cell phones market was valued at US$ 537.2 Million in 2020 and is expected to surpass US$ 818.5 Million by 2028, registering a CAGR of 6.1% during the forecast period (2021-2028), according to the Global EMF Shielding Devices for Cell Phones Market Report, by Type (EMI Shields and Gaskets, EMI Shielding Films, Shielding Cases, EMI/EMC Filters, Phone Cases, Phone Stickers, EMI Shielding Tapes & Laminates, Adapters, Headphones, and Shielding Cards), by Material Type (Conductive Polymers and Conductive Coatings and Paints), by Application (Personal and Commercial), and by Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa), published by Coherent Market Insights.
Bluetooth is a highly complex wireless technology. It uses frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) techniques with GMSK and other modulation schemes in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz band. It is robust enough to withstand all the background noise and EMI from Wi-Fi and other devices.
Wireless headphones emit considerable EMF as these are connected via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. As these headphones are placed on the head, the effect of Bluetooth or Wi-Fi radiation is maximum. Wired headsets also emit EMF but to a lesser degree than wireless.
Currently, air tube headsets are used to limit the radiation by replacing wire with a hollow tube, which carries the sound from the device to the user’s ears and helps to limit exposure to radiation and also offers a high quality sound experience.
Therefore, increasing adoption of wireless technology such as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi which has effect of radiation on the human health will lead to the development of various new EMF shielding device types such as shielding cases, phone stickers, and headphones, which will lead to the growth of this market globally.
Global EMF Shielding Devices for Cell Phones Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
