Summary:In this work we present recent progress in Geant4 electromagnetic physics modelling, with an emphasis on the new refinements for the processes of multiple and single scattering, ionisation, high energy muon interactions, and gamma induced processes. The future LHC upgrade to 13 TeV will bring new requirements regarding the quality of electromagnetic physics simulation: energy, particle multiplicity, and statistics will be increased. The evolution of CPU performance and developments for Geant4 multi-threading connected with Geant4 electromagnetic physics sub-packages will also be discussed.
