Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Test Equipment and Testing Services Growth Opportunities

Future Growth Potential Encouraged by Accelerated 5G Deployments, a Growing Connected Devices Ecosystem, Mandatory In-country Testing, and Increased Electric Vehicle Sales

EMC is the capability of electronic devices and equipment to operate in their electromagnetic environment without disturbing nearby devices (emissions) or having these devices disturb them (immunity/susceptibility). EMC test equipment refers to the set of instruments that test the emission and immunity characteristics of a device under test (DUT). EMC testing services refer to pre-compliance, full-compliance, consulting, and certification testing by third-party or government test houses to confirm products’ performance and compliance with EMC directives and industry standards.

This study's main objective is to identify the market’s key growth opportunities and the factors that will boost or restrain them. Key end users for the EMC test equipment market include government labs, OEMs’ in-house testing labs, and third-party testing labs. Key end users for EMC testing services include the ITC, automotive, medical devices, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and aerospace & defense sectors.

Research Highlights

• Market drivers: Rapidly growing connected ecosystem, digitization, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled devices, mandatory in-country EMC testing, quest to accelerate market entry, and updates in EMC standards and regulations.
• Market restraints: Release of non-compliant products, lack of skilled workforce, high fragmentation of EMC testing services segment, and a trade-off between price and performance.
• Growth Opportunities: In-depth industry collaborations, in-situ EMC testing, rapid deployment of 5G and future development in 6G, vehicle electrification, and growing smart city initiatives.
