COVID-19 Impact: Market Growth restrained by the Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The pandemic disruption of global supply chains can be easily evidenced. Some of the challenges include; lockdowns and restrictions on the availability of raw materials and components that are used in the construction of the PACVD equipment and processes. This led to time delays and scarce availability and delivery of PACVD based coatings.

LATEST TRENDS

"Increased Use in Medical Applications to Propel Market Growth"

The enhancement of the number of parts coated by PACVD in the medical field is the most apparent trend due to the favorable properties of these coatings that are compatible with the requirements of the healthcare sector. PACVD coatings like diamond like Carbon or DLC are very biocompatible, wear and friction resistant making them most suitable for a host of medical implant products. These coatings prolong the durability and usability of such component such as joint replacements, surgical instruments, and dental implants as they result to a hard, smooth, and biologically inert surface which offers protection against wear and trigger of aggressive biological reactions.

PACVD-BASED COATINGS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into RF PACVD, DC PACVD and Microwave PACVD.

• RF PACVD- RF PACVD is characterized by the capability of forming high density plasma for better and uniform coating. Compared to other methods it can carry out at relatively low temperature, thereby allows coating of many substrates that are sensitive to higher temperature.

• DC PACVD- It was established that DC PACVD is generally less complex and less expensive than RF PACVD. But obviously here it may not be as efficient in the production of steady plasma required for some other intricate coatings. It usual makes use of higher operating temperatures thus making it unsuitable for use on some substrate types.

• Microwave PACVD- Microwave PACVD can create a high density plasma that has high ionization rate. This method is also capable of delivering high quality of coating with a better properties as compared with the conventional methods. It also makes it possible to work at lower substrate temperatures, and this is advantageous while coating more fragile parts.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Microelectronics, Industrial, Cutting Tools, Medical Devices, Transportation and Others.

• Microelectronics- PACVD coatings are popular in microelectronics for semiconductors, Integrated circuits, and micro Electrical Mechanical Systems (MEMS).

• Industrial- Industrial usage of PACVD coatings is in machinery parts, tools, and components that are likely to be immersed or worked on in rusty environments.

• Cutting Tools- PACVD coating is widely applied on the tools that are used for cutting, like drills, milling cutters and saws.

• Medical Devices- In the medical field of application PACVD coatings are used on implants, surgical tools, and medical diagnosis machines.

• Transportation- The transportation sector applies PACVD coatings on parts such as engines, transmission, and brake rotors among others.

DRIVING FACTORS

"Growing Demand in Medical Applications to Drive Market Advancement"

One of the key driving factors in the PACVD-Based Coatings market growth is the Growing Demand in Medical Applications. The rising popularity of PACVD coatings particularly in the medical applications is attributed to the fact that there is more profound need for biocompatibilities, durability and performance improvement in the medical sector especially in the implantable medical devices. PACVD coatings like the DLC have high hardness, wear and poor frictional characteristics that are relevant to the protraction of the longevity and dependability of medical implants like joint replacement implants, stents for blood vessels, and dental implants. These coatings also offer excellent biocompatibility, evaluating the possibility of negative reactions with body tissues, which is very important for patient’s health and appropriate medical result.

"Automotive and Aerospace Industry Growth to Expand the Market"

The automotive and aerospace industries hold the largest and most rapidly growing demand for PACVD-based coatings, because the components that are used in these industries must meet increased performance criteria and function in extremely harsh environments. In automotive industry the trend toward increasing fuel efficiency, decreasing emissions, and increasing vehicle lifetime requires corresponding protection coatings that can be resistant to high temperature, mechanical loading and corrosive attack. The coatings based on technology known as PACVD, for example diamond like carbon or DLC, have the properties of wear, free friction, and hardness which make them suitable for parts of engines, transmissions, and brake discs.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

"High Initial Costs Poses Potential Impediments to Market Growth"

Initial costs can also be considered as a restrictive force that hinders the adoption as well as the development of PACVD-based coating in several industries. The PACVD falls under a capital-intensive technology since it incorporates shelters and machinery such as vacuum chambers, plasma generators, gas delivery system, and control facilities, all of which attract considerable cost. It should also be noted that these costs are rather high not only for large companies but for SMEs and startups in particular and they act as barriers for market entry and technological deeper understanding for most of the companies. Also, Pacific PVD tools are sophisticated and require the services of well-trained staff to operate, maintain, and diagnose, increasing the operating costs.
