The increasing demand for tool coating is notably driving market growth. The increasing demand for more durable tools, resistance to wear and tear, and better performance characteristics are driving the demand for UV PVD coatings. These coatings offer several advantages, such as increased hardness, improved wear resistance, improved adhesion, and improved corrosion resistance, making them an ideal choice for many applications.
The largest end-user of these coatings is the automotive sector. They are used to improve the durability and performance of engine components, gears, bearings, and other critical parts. Similarly, the demand for UV PVD coatings in the aerospace industry is continuously growing. PVD coatings in the aerospace industry are used to improve the performance of aircraft components, such as turbine blades, compressor blades, and landing gear. Therefore, a rise in the demand for coated tools for multiple industries, such as automotive, consumer electronics, and aerospace, is expected to fuel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The growing interest in environment-friendly coating processes is the key trend in the market. Technology for PVD coatings is environmentally friendly. Compared to other coating processes such as electroplating and painting, the PVD coating process does not generate hazardous waste. In addition, PVD-coated products last longer and reduce the risk of waste generation, helping to protect the environment.
Environmentally friendly materials are used, such as titanium nitride (TiN) and chromium nitride (CrN). This material may be utilized to improve the decorative and wear-resistant look of corrosion-resistant electroplating. As a consequence, this deposition performs admirably while offering no environmental problems. The market will expand over the forecast period as a result of rising concerns about environmentally friendly coating processes such as thin film deposition.
The high maintenance cost of PVD machines is the major challenge impeding the market. The high cost of PVD machine installation and upkeep may serve as a significant impediment to the expansion of the worldwide UV physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings market. PVD machines are expensive to purchase, install, and maintain, and they require skilled technicians to operate and service them. It can also be expensive to purchase the raw materials needed for the PVD process, such as metal targets.
In the PVD process, some operations take place in a vacuum and at higher temperatures. In order to accomplish the intended results, a technically competent team is required. Installation of cooling water systems is required to handle the considerable heat loads caused by the high temperature. Thus, the increased cost of this technology will limit the adoption of the global UV physical vapor deposition (PVD) coatings market during the forecast period.
The market research report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator’s stage to the laggard’s stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
