ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE ABSORBING MATERIAL MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Material Market was valued at USD 9.02 billion in 2024 and is expected to rise to USD 9.85 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 19.92 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the electromagnetic wave absorbing material market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The substances known as electromagnetic wave absorbers stop electromagnetic energy from incidentally reflecting or transmitting. Rather, these materials absorb such electromagnetic radiations, and the degree to which they do so depends on a variety of circumstances. The absorption rate varies depending on the material type, thickness, and frequency.

COVID-19 IMPACT

National Lockdown to Deplete Market Growth 

In addition to disrupting the global healthcare system and delaying surgeries, treatments, and diagnoses of non-emergency ailments, the onset of COVID-19 advanced industry penetration. Several difficulties related to the COVID-19's effects on the electromagnetic wave absorbing material industry have been noted. The crisis caused some important trends to intensify, changing both supply and demand across industries of the advanced material.

Before the pandemic, significant trends were anticipated to continue to influence the market. Businesses suffered as a result of the outbreak in 2020 and 2021. Many markets were been affected from this because the main focus was on the respiratory issues. The market growth is expected to rebound from the shock over the forecast period.

LATEST TRENDS

Research and Development to Intensify Market Magnification

Over the projected period, market is anticipated to increase as a result of rising research and development rising awareness and advantages of the advanced material. A substance must have no or very little transmission and reflection in order to be an effective absorber. A material should have powerful electrical characteristics, permanent magnetic properties such as high magnetic moment, large magneto-crystalline anisotropy, optical transmittance, electrical resistivity, high curie temperature, and low coercivity, among others, to achieve lower transmission and reflection percentages. For EMI suppression applications, characteristics including high dielectric losses, strong magnetic losses, and melting temperature are desirable. The accomplishment of ideal requirements for electromagnetic wave absorbers, including extremely low reflection loss, broad absorption bandwidth, small match thicknesses, and flawless impedance matching, is still a difficult issue even though a lot of research has already been done in this sector. This causes analysts to concentrate more on regional factors and regulatory and influencing factors ahead of any other approach.
