Anti-radiation devices help in controlling the emissions from various mobile devices, which increases its adoption. Therefore, growing adoption of mobile phones is projected to enhance the market in the coming years. For instance,
The number of mobile devices across the globe is expected to reach 18.22 Billion by 2025, as compared to 15 Billion in 2021.
Cell phone manufacturers are widely adopting anti-radiation devices to neutralize the harmful nature of electromagnetic radiation emitted from cell phones. These devices also protect the brain, heart, and sensitive ear tissues from hazardous and unwanted radiation, which enhances their demand among mobile users and manufacturers.
The COVID-19 pandemic hampered the demand for anti-radiation devices for cell phones. The rapid rise in COVID-19 infection created a shortage of manpower and raw materials, due to the closure of international trade, which impeded the production of anti-radiation devices.
Moreover, a sharp fall was witnessed in the sale of smartphones that hindered the market, as these devices are used in smartphones to control or reduce harmful radiation generated by them that are not good for human health. For instance, 1.35 billion smartphones were sold across the globe in 2020 compared to 1.54 billion in 2019.
The introduction of artificial intelligence in smartphones creates an immense opportunity in the market. Smartphones generate harmful radiation from them causing several health issues such as headaches, anxiety, and depression. AI in smartphones predict cellphone radiation levels under different conditions, different usage levels, and for different devices.
AI-powered anti-radiation devices for cell phones continuously monitor radiation exposure levels and alert users to stop using the devices for some minutes. Companies in the market are investing to develop AI-enabled anti-radiation devices for cell phones, which creates a lucrative opportunity in the market.
Increasing adoption of the 5G network is expected to boost the demand for anti-radiation devices for cell phones during the forecast period. 5G networks utilize higher frequencies as compared to previous-generation networks, which lead to increased radiation emissions from mobile phones. This raises the demand for anti-radiation devices, as it is designed to reduce or block radiation emitted by 5G-enabled devices. Thus, the growing demand for 5G networks is projected to enhance the market in the coming years.
Low product reach and awareness in emerging and underdeveloped nations are expected to restrict the demand for anti-radiation devices for cell phones during the forecast period. Moreover, high cost associated with anti-radiation devices is projected to hamper the market in the coming years. These devices involve unique features and complex technologies, which makes them expensive, encouraging consumers to lessen their adoption.
Rising stringent regulation regarding radiation emission limits by various governments and regulatory bodies creates an immense opportunity in the market. Governments across the globe are putting a well-structured process and mechanism for monitoring any violation in electromagnetic frequencies. Moreover, increasing investment in R&D activities by major players in the market to develop and introduce new anti-radiation chips for mobile phones creates a lucrative opportunity in the market. For instance,
On November 8, 2020, Maxwell EMR Research Center launched a new anti-radiation chip, RADBLOK for mobile phones to mitigate the risk of radiation. It is made up of nano-gold coated polymer that sticks on the back of the mobile phone and ensures the protection from radiation up to 99%.

Based on type, the anti-radiation devices for cell phones market is categorized into chip, sticker, case, and others. The chip segment held a large share of the market in 2022, due to rising adoption of cell phones and increasing awareness about the ill effects of electromagnetic fields. Anti-radiation chips create a protective layer and are widely used in cell phones to neutralize the harmful nature of electromagnetic radiation emitted by cell phones. It also helps in reducing stress levels in the human body by absorbing radiation, which increases its demand for mobile phones.
The sticker segment is projected to expand at a robust pace in the coming years, owing to being less expensive than other anti-radiation devices. Radiation stickers typically contain metals that are designed to deflect or absorb radio waves. It is used in cell phones that act as a shield for electromagnetic emissions.
In terms of distribution channel, the global market is bifurcated into online and offline. The online segment dominated the market in 2022 and is expected to continue its dominance throughout the projection period, owing to its ability to allow businesses to reach increasing number of people and build a strong brand awareness.
Manufacturers of anti-radiation devices shifted their focus to online distribution channels, as it allows them to sell products directly to consumers without setting up physical stores, intermediaries, and human resources. Consumers prefer online channels, as they offer them the convenience of ordering products from across the globe through internet-connected smartphones.
It also allows consumers to compare products easily by browsing multiple websites quickly, facilitating improved decision-making in purchasing products, which increases its adoption.
Based on region, the anti-radiation devices for cell phones market is segregated into Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America accounted for a major share of the market in 2022, due to rising adoption of cell phones, growing technological advancements, and the presence of key market players such as American Aires Inc., DefenderShield, RF Safe, and SafeSleeve.
