Diamond Coatings Market by Technology (CVD, PVD), Substrate (Metal, Ceramic, Composite), End-Use Industry (Electronics, Mechanical, Industrial, Medical, Automotive), and Region (Europe, North America, APAC, MEA, South America) - Global Forecast to 2022
[111 Pages Report] Diamond has a wide range of properties. It is the hardest known material which is chemically inert and wear- resistant. It has the lowest coefficient of thermal expansion, offers low friction with high thermal conductivity, and is electrically insulating. It is also optically transparent from ultra-violet (UV) to far-infrared (IR). Diamond coating is a process by which a uniform layer of diamond is deposited on material such as glass, plastics, metals, ceramics, and composites. The coating is done by using carbon feed gas, mostly methane diluted by hydrogen to approx. 1-2 mol%, which is passed into the chamber and exposed to a combination of lasers through CVD and PVD technologies. Due to the extreme temperature and pressure, the diamond particles bond to the surface of a material or substrate. Diamond coating is done to impart exceptional wear resistance, excellent hardness, and enhanced corrosion resistance to the substrates
The market size for diamond coatings is estimated to be USD 1.76 billion in 2017, which is projected to reach USD 2.56 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. The growth of the diamond coatings market is primarily driven by the increasing demand for diamond coated medical devices, metal cutting tools, mechanical, and electronic equipment in the growing markets of Europe and North America. The demand for these coatings is also increasing in emerging economies such as India, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Brazil, and Argentina.
CVD To Be The Fastest-Growing Technology Between 2017 And 2022
The diamond coatings market is segmented on the basis of technology as CVD, PVD, and others. CVD diamond coatings account for the largest market size. In the CVD process, diamond is deposited from a carbon gas phase and can, therefore, coat large areas and curved surfaces. In this process, diamond deposits can grow thick enough to become free-standing parts, which can be cut and finished to the desired size and shape. The CVD process typically includes the maintenance of a plasma containing atomic hydrogen over the growth surface and requires a source of carbon such as methane (CH4). CVD process overcomes many of the limitations of high-pressure processes.
In the PVD process, the pure solid source material is gasified with the help of high power electricity or a laser beam. The gasified material then condenses on the substrate material to create the desired thin film layer. CVD and PVD technologies are witnessing high growth and are expected to continue so in the near future.
Metal substrates segment to register the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022
The diamond coatings market is segmented on the basis of substrates as metals, ceramics, composites, and others. Diamond coating is largely dependent on the substrate chemistry. Atomic, molecular hydrogen, and carbon species cause reactions, especially with ceramics substrates, modify certain metallic substrates, and can form intermediate layers, thereby delaying the onset of diamond nucleation, growth, and coating formation.
The market for metal and ceramic substrates witnessed intense growth in the past few years. This growth is estimated to continue in the next five years. High demand for diamond coatings in the emerging economies, such as China, India, and Southeast Asian countries, are the major drivers. Certain substrates can retard or even prevent the formation of diamond coating if it is in direct contact with the diamond being formed. For example, an iron substrate can lead to massive non-diamond carbon deposition at the substrate or diamond interface
APAC to account for the fastest-growing market during the forecast period
APAC has emerged as the fastest-growing diamond coatings market owing to its growing end-use industries, increasing domestic demand and income levels. Owing to the availability of cheap labor and economical and accessible raw materials, there are significant foreign investments, which is also driving the market growth in the region. Nevertheless, the North American and European diamond coatings market are still attractive markets for high-quality products with significant brand recognition. However, manufacturers in these regions face tough competition from the APAC market as the cost is an important factor for end customers. Local manufacturers in APAC are successfully providing similar diamond coated tools and equipment at lower costs.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Enhanced life of cutting tools and equipment
Diamond is an ideal element because of its high hardness and strength, low friction coefficient, and chemical stability, among others. Diamond coating is done through advanced surface engineering technologies such as CVD and PVD and has been increasingly explored for cutting-tool applications. Diamond-coated tools have great potential in various machining applications. It is advantageous in the fabrication of cutting tools with complex geometry such as drills. Diamond coating enhanced the life of tools and equipment. This has increased its usages in lightweight and high-strength components, which have resulted in significant interests among end-users.
Restraint: High capacity investment
The diamond coating process requires a lot of capital investment. CVD and PVD technologies are capital intensive, and the equipment used in these coating technologies require special operating conditions, such as high temperature and controlled vacuum conditions for operation. The cost of manufacturing diamond-coated equipment is high and, since a few top global players control the market, the cost of equipment and tools for the end-use industry is high. The process of coating varies for different applications. It depends on the material to be coated and the thickness of the film layer. Different equipment is needed for different applications. The cost of diamond coating machinery is very high. Hence, it is not feasible for the end-user to set up their machines to diamond coat tools and equipment.
Opportunity: Innovation in technology through R&D
Diamond coating is done to improve the substrates properties. Depending on the thickness of the coating layer and precursor material used, the properties of the substrate materials can be improved. R&D activities are carried out in various regions by universities and independent research organizations to improve the properties of the substrate materials with different precursor materials and reduce the cost of diamond coating process to benefit the end-users. Companies involved in the diamond coating process need to invest significantly to continuously update their product portfolio to meet the newer and increasing demands from end-users. Key players in the diamond coatings market invest heavily in R&D activities every year to update and upgrade their offerings according to the end-use industry demands. Thus, innovation in technologies is expected to create a wider scope for the diamond coatings market in the coming future.
Challenge: Adhesion difficulties on various substrates
Coating delamination is a major issue in the diamond coating process. Strong adhesion between the coating and the substrate is a key factor that determines the performance of the coating. Currently, there are issues and problems related to diamond coatings such as characterization and nucleation on foreign surfaces. The introduction of diamond-coated tools for industrial machining of materials was initially hampered mainly by coating adhesion difficulties. However, this difficulty has been addressed through several R&D done by diamond coating companies. With tungsten-carbide substrates, various techniques have been developed to enhance the adhesion strength. However, diamond coating on hard metal and ceramic tools still need extensive R&D. This remains a challenge as experimental results have not been consistent in many cases. More R&D remains to be done before an accurate assessment can be made of the technological impact of the development.
