Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is also referred as physical vapor transport (PVT) which includes a variety of vacuum deposition the process that is used to produce thin films and coatings. In this process materials transferred from condensed phases to vapor phases and then get back to the condense phase of thin films. Physical vapor deposition (PVD) is used across various applications such as fabrication of microelectronic devices, surface modifications battery and fuel cell electrodes, interconnects, diffusion barriers, optical and conductive coatings. Thermal evaporation, sputtering, and ion plating are the three commonly used physical vapor deposition in almost all industries. This process is used widely used in, manufacturing of semiconductor devices such as thin-film solar panels, titanium nitride coated cutting tools for metalworking and aluminized PET (polyethylene terephthalate) film for food packaging.
Global physical vapor deposition market was valued at US$ 18.9 Billion in 2021 in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.59% during the forecast period (2022 to 2030).

Drivers
Increasing penetration of microelectronics across various industries is primarily fueling the market growth of physical vapor deposition. Microelectronics is used to production of small electronic equipment that is micrometers in size and they find application across automotive, defense, and healthcare industries. Microelectronics is one of the major application areas for physical vapor deposition (PVD). Hence the growth of the microelectronics market is fueling the market growth of physical vapor deposition.
Rising usage of physical vapor deposition in the production of low-e glass for construction and automotive industries is projected to accelerate market growth. PVD materials for coating of low-e glass include aluminum & aluminum alloy, silver, copper & its alloy, chromium. Low-e glass helps in the reduction of heat loss which is gaining huge importance from the construction industry. Hence, rising demand for low-e glass from the construction industry is expected to propel the market growth of physical vapor deposition.
Among region, Europe held a dominant position in market in 2021, and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. The rising concern over greenhouse emissions in this region has propelled the demand for environmentally safe products. For instance, the physical vapor deposition process adopts eco-friendly products such as titanium nitride (TiN) and chromium nitride (CrN). These materials are coated on corrosion-resistant electroplating and further enhance the finish of the surface. In addition, they offer superior performance without the risk of environmental hazards. Therefore, owing to this, the high demand for eco-friendly coating processes across several industrial applications is expected to favor the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Owing to the production disruption in key end-use industries, the demand for all categories went down significantly during COVID-19 pandemic. As the PVD industry does not fall under essential services, it experienced a negative impact on year on year growth rate due to decreased demand from key applications such as solar components, electronics, cutting tools and others.
