Additional Information

Report Excerpt

INTRODUCTION

For more than 20 years, BCC Research has been tracking developments in the high–performance ceramic coatings market. Since the last edition of this report was published in 2010, significant changes have taken place in the ceramic coating service industry. In view of these changes, BCC decided that there is now a need to update the previous edition’s findings and conclusions.

STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

This report is intended to:

Provide an industry overview of ceramic coatings delivered by thermal spray, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other techniques, including spraying/dipping, sol gel, micro-oxidation, packed diffusion, ionic beam surface treatment and laser-assisted techniques.

Determine the current size and future growth of the North American markets for ceramic thermal spray, PVD, CVD and other coatings services.

Provide a technology overview, including material types, properties and applications for ceramic coatings.

Analyze domestic competition among companies within each of the ceramic coating service segments.

Profile all North American equipment manufacturers, service providers and suppliers of consumables among ceramic thermal spray, PVD, CVD and other coating techniques.

Identify the users of ceramic coating services.
