Description Jump to:
The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Market was valued at USD 22.8 Billion in 2024, and is projected to reach USD 33.1 Billion by 2029, rising at a CAGR of 7.70%. PVD coating is an eco-friendly coating that contributes to sustainable manufacturing. For example, it reduces requirements for toxic cleaning agents and increases the service life of the coated items, reducing waste and frequent replacement. Additionally, advanced PVD systems consume relatively low energy, making PVD energy efficient. The PVD material is recyclable. Therefore, PVD is experiencing new applications such as fuel cells and 3D printing.

Market Dynamics and Growth Factors

Key growth factors in the global PVD market are limitations on using hexavalent chromium, increasing demand for decorative items, and growth in end-use industries. In developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K. and others, there has been a limitation on using electroplating as it can cause cancer in humans. Therefore, many consumers are shifting toward PVD coating as it is a green coating technology. The thin film coating on decorative items such as eyewear, watches, and kitchen and bathroom fixtures is also gaining popularity across the globe.

The growing penetration of PVD in electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to create new opportunities for the global PVD market in the coming years. PVD coatings have increasing applications in EV components, fuel cell bipolar plates, additive-manufactured products, and rocket and space applications.

Executive Summary

In the global PVD (physical vapor deposition) industry, the materials deposited segment accounted for the leading share because this material is consumed for new equipment as well as for the equipment which is operated to provide services. Furthermore, the pattern of material consumption highly depends on the application, for instance, in the automotive industry, a very thin layer of PVD coating material is used with the intent to maintain the lightweight scenario of vehicles. In the application of PVD for packaging, material consumption is very high because of the significant consumption of packaging related products across the globe.

Due to the growth in the digitalization industry, physical vapor deposition manufacturers are eagerly focused on automatic PVD machines that can also operate without human intervention. The services segment is expected to grow with continuity over the coming years because most of the small-scale companies and the manufacturing companies that work on a contract basis are highly dependent on the PVD service segment. Due to the high cost of PVD equipment, these small-scale companies are not capable of affording equipment in this price range. Countries like India, Singapore, Thailand and others are significantly working on solar-based products to cater the eco-friendly energy products for local markets. Moreover, these countries are also investing a lot of money in the semiconductor industry. Here, PVD will play a critical role, and these activities are expected to create new business opportunities for the PVD service segment over the coming years.
