Automotive Shielding Market Report 2026

The automotive shielding market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $17.74 billion in 2025 to $18.98 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to engine heat management needs, exhaust system protection, traditional metallic shielding usage, growth of passenger vehicles, emission control requirements.

The automotive shielding market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.08 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to electric vehicle adoption, high-voltage component protection, lightweight material innovation, stricter thermal management needs, advanced power electronics usage. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for heat management solutions, growth of emi shielding in evs, adoption of lightweight shielding materials, expansion of exhaust shielding applications, focus on vehicle safety.

The increasing production of vehicles is anticipated to drive the growth of the automotive shielding market in the coming years. A vehicle is defined as a machine equipped with an engine and wheels that transports individuals or cargo. The rise in vehicle production in recent years can be attributed to rapid urbanization and the expansion of global automobile manufacturers. Since automotive shielding is utilized in the electronic components of vehicles, higher vehicle production leads to a greater demand for automotive shielding. For example, in August 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based organization, reported that new car registrations increased by 3.9% in the first seven months of 2024, surpassing 6.5 million units. The largest markets in the region showed positive but modest growth, with Spain (+5.6%), Italy (+5.2%), Germany (+4.3%), and France (+2.2%) all experiencing increases. Thus, the rising vehicle production is contributing to the growth of the automotive shielding market.

Leading companies in the automotive shielding market are adopting a strategic partnership approach to enhance their distribution networks. Strategic partnerships involve companies utilizing each other's strengths and resources to achieve shared benefits and success. For example, in March 2023, Tech Etch, a US-based manufacturer of EMI and RFI shielding components, formed a partnership with Heilind, a US-based electronics distributor. This collaboration allowed Heilind North America to become part of Tech Etch's growing network of international distributors for essential EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI (radio frequency interference) shielding solutions. Through this agreement, Tech Etch has established partnerships with all companies within the Heilind Electronics umbrella, further bolstering its global distribution network.
