ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE ABSORBING MATERIAL MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Material Market size stood at USD 6.46 billion in 2025, growing further to USD 13.1 billion by 2034 at an estimated CAGR of 8.18% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Material Market size is projected at USD 0.89621 billion in 2025, the Europe Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Material Market size is projected at USD 0.7787 billion in 2025, and the China Electromagnetic Wave Absorbing Material Market size is projected at USD 4.54435 billion in 2025.

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.

KEY FINDINGS

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.

• According to the report, fixed‑broadband subscriptions grew ~6.7% annually over the past decade, lifting demand for high‑frequency absorber use in CPE and gateways.

• According to the research, >233 million Wi‑Fi 7 devices are expected in 2024, expanding need for absorbers in tri‑band/6 GHz radios.

Many governments are making significant investments to improve their military systems. This element might significantly boost electromagnetic wave absorbing material market growth. The market is also set to develop in the future because to the telecommunications and electronics sectors. The boost electromagnetic wave absorbing material market may rapidly expand as RF absorbers are used in a growing number of electronic products. The expanding role of multilayered epoxy-based coatings as effective absorption materials in garnering more development stars.

• According to the IEA, global EV stock reached ~40 million (2023), intensifying EMI management in traction inverters/chargers where absorbers reduce emissions.

• According to China’s MIIT, ~4.19 million 5G base stations were live by end‑2024, expanding mmWave/FR‑1 densification where RF absorbers mitigate reflections in enclosures and sites.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Great Chances of Short Circuit to Deplete Market Advancement

The fact that electromagnets wave absorbing material heat up quickly and lose a lot of electrical energy as a result is one of its drawbacks of the advanced material. The steady magnetic field must be maintained for a continuous power supply. This advanced material is therefore inappropriate for compact places. Since electromagnets' electric current produces the magnetic field, a short-circuit can seriously hurt the operator and the electromagnets themselves. Therefore, the above-mentioned points can prove to be a barrier in the market advancement.

• According to the research, 53% non‑compliance rate in sampled radio equipment raises qualification costs/time for absorber integration.

• According to report, expanded NR operation to 71 GHz tightens device RF requirements, increasing test complexity and material characterization burden.
