Segment Analysis
Based on the material type, the global hard coatings market has been classified as- nitrides, oxides, carbon-based and others.
Borides Material Type Segment Accounted For The Highest Share
Borides are extensively used in the hard coatings market. This chemical is perhaps one of the most heat-resistant and hardest compounds. Moreover, it is often used as coatings for materials which have to withstand the harshest conditions because of their incredible toughness – from the inside of the combustion engines to cutting tools for hard metals.
Based on the techniques, the global hard coatings market has been classified as- physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is a process of vaporization coating, where the base material is used to form a thin layer of coating on an object by evaporating and condensing the material. PVD technique accounted for the largest market share as it less time intensive and durable.
Physical Vapor Deposition Segment Is Accounted For The Highest Share During The Forcasting Period
Physical Vapor Deposition held the largest share in the hard coatings market as they are in high-demand in various end-use industries such as aerospace, automotive, cutting tools, and others. The electron beam, sputter deposition, evaporative deposition, physical vapor deposition, pulsed laser deposition, and cathodic arc deposition are the techniques used in physical vapor deposition.
Based on the application, the global hard coatings market has been classified as- decorative coatings, cutting tools, optics, and others.
Optics Application Witnessed The Largest Market Share
The optical industry is one of the significant users of hard coatings. Generally, lenses and other optical components use soft coatings, but with the advancement of high performing techniques, such as hard coating, the use of soft coating becomes obsolete.
Geographical Analysis
Based on geography, the study analyzes the global hard coatings market, including Europe, Asia-Pacific, North America, South America, and the Middle East & Africa.
Asia-Pacific Leads the Global Hard Coating Market throughout the Forecast Period
