Global Physical Vapor Deposition Market By Application (Cutting Tools, Medical Equipment, Solar Products, Data Storage, Microelectronics and Other Applications) By Category (PVD Materials, PVD Equipment and PVD Services) By Region, Industry Analysis and Forecast, 2019 - 2025

Analysis of Market Size & Trends

The Global Physical Vapor Deposition Market size is expected to reach $25.5 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 5.91% CAGR during the forecast period. Physical vapor deposition is a vacuum coating process that bombards the surfaces of several products like microelectronics, storage devices, cutting tools, medical devices, solar panels, etc., with energetic ions. This process helps to strengthen the stability of the coating and enhance the adhesion of the coating. Several coatings used in the process include nitrides, ceramics, oxides, carbides, metals, etc.

Global Physical Vapor Deposition Market Size

Different PVD technologies use the same three basic steps but vary in the methods used to produce and deposit materials. The thermal evaporation and sputter deposition are also the two most prevalent processes. Thermal evaporation is a deposition procedure that relies on the vaporization of the source material by heating the material through the application of effective vacuum methods. Sputter deposition is a plasma-assisted method that generates vapor from the source target by blasting with accelerated gaseous ions (usually Argon).

Physical Vapor Deposition Market Share

Deposited films can cover the range of chemical compositions assisted by the supply material(s). Multiple compositions are made available by reactive deposition processes. Relevant examples include co-deposition from multiple sources, reactions all through the transport stage by the introduction of reactive gas and post-deposition modification by a thermal or mechanical system. PVD is used in an extremely wide range of applications, in conjunction with the manufacture of electronic devices, interconnectors, battery and cellular electrodes, diffusion barriers, optical and semi-conductive coatings, and surface modifications.

Such coatings are used for applications like storage devices, semiconductors, and LEDs, which are anticipated to drive market growth over the coming years. Physical vapor deposition technology involves a process in which the base material is used to create a thin layer of coating on a surface by evaporating and condensing the substance used. Coatings consist of ceramics or metals, typically oxides, nitrides, and carbides.

Based on Application, the market is segmented into Cutting Tools, Medical Equipment, Solar Products, Data Storage, Microelectronics and Other Applications. Based on Category, the market is segmented into PVD Materials, PVD Equipment and PVD Services. Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
