Thin Film Coating Market Analysis
Thin films are often used to enhance the surface properties of solids, such as transmission, reflection, absorption, and stiffness, as well as to shield displays from cracks and ambient exposure to achieve a particular degree of reflectivity. The flexibility and ability to work in low light are two advantages of thin film coating. The industry is expected to be driven by rising demand for productivity and miniaturization. Rising demand for current and emerging applications, such as micro-electromechanical system (MEMS), photovoltaic solar cell (PV), optical & electrical coating, and semiconductor, is expected to drive the thin film material demand over the next few years. Technological advancement in semi-conductor packaging is anticipated to have a positive impact on the thin film coating market growth. However, huge investment requirement in R&D coupled with low conversion efficiency and lack of bulk suppliers has created demand and supply imbalance while raw material shortage is acting as a hindrance in the growth of the thin film coating market.
COVID-19 scenario analysis
- Trade activities are restricted due to ongoing restriction in several countries, owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, thereby hampering the productivity rate of the thin film coating market.
- Limited export &import business due to less demand for goods is expected to decline the thin film coating industry growth.
- In addition, insufficiency of raw materials for the production of thin film will cause temporary downfall.
