Physical Vapor Deposition Market is Anticipated to Witness High Growth Owing to Rising Demand for Thin Film Coatings
Physical vapor deposition (PVD) refers to a variety of vacuum deposition methods used to produce thin films through the condensation of a vaporized form of the desired material onto various surfaces under vacuum. PVD is used to apply decorative and functional coatings onto various products such as jewelry, eyeglasses, high-end watches, tool parts and more. Common PVD coatings include gold, rhodium, stainless steel, chrome, anodized coatings and more. The ability to apply hard, corrosion-resistant, wear and aesthetic coatings has increased the demand for PVD across various industries.
The Physical Vapor Deposition Market is estimated to be valued at USD 24.04 Bn in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 36.63 Bn by 2031, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2% from 2024 to 2031.
