Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Global Markets

April 20, 2012

Wellesley, Mass. – According to a new technical market research report, PHYSICAL VAPOR DEPOSITION (PVD): GLOBAL MARKETS (MFG015E) from BCC Research (www.bccresearch.com), the value of the physical vapor deposition (PVD) industry was nearly $10 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach nearly $15 billion in 2016, a projected five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%.

The PVD market can be broken down into three segments: PVD equipment, materials deposited, and services.  

The equipment segment accounted for nearly $7.1 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach nearly $10.4 billion in 2016, a CAGR of 7.9%.

The materials deposited segment, worth $1.6 billion in 2011, should experience a CAGR of 11.3% to reach nearly $2.8 billion in 2016.

The services segment was worth nearly $1.3 billion in 2011 and by 2016 should have a value of nearly $1.9 billion, representing a CAGR of 8.3%.

The goal of the deposition process is to impart specific properties to a surface to change or alter its characteristics. A material, for example, may be deposited on a surface to protect it from corrosion, wear, and abrasion; to improve its adhesive properties; make it more conductive; protect it from light and air; or to allow denser storage of data.

PVD has been a proven technology over the past several decades. Its use has made possible more sophisticated manufacturing and fabrication techniques. Smaller-sized products have also broadened the demand for vapor-deposited materials. New and existing products require materials that can be delivered by vacuum deposition of films on a growing variety of substrates.

This study will be of interest to those in the microelectronics business, manufacturers of cutting tools, specialty packagers, makers of storage equipment and media, companies in the solar energy business, manufacturers of automotive and aerospace parts, medical device makers, and those in the optics industry.  It also will be of interest to companies engaged in the manufacture of deposition equipment and materials, and to surface coaters.
