Atomic Layer Deposition Market Analysis

Atomic Layer Deposition Market is predicted to touch USD 4.23 Billion at an 11.6% CAGR over the forecast period (2017-2024), states the latest Market Research Future (MRFR) report. Atomic layer deposition or ALD, simply put, is a vapor phase method that can produce thin films of different materials. It has an extensive range of applications including electronics, building construction, automotive, and others.

Here a substrate’s surface is exposed to alternate precursors, that never overlap yet are introduced sequentially. This process often is carried out at lower temperatures that are extremely crucial while working with fragile substrates. An array of materials can be deposited through this technique, such as fluorides, sulfides, metals, and oxides.

Various factors are propelling the atomic layer deposition market growth. Some of these factors, according to the Market Research Future report, include growing use in complicated semiconductor components, burgeoning demand in nanotechnology owing to its precision and better sensitivity, growing solar power industry, and use of the technique for manufacturing small components at cost-effective prices in different industries.

The ALD technique in nanotechnology is used in different industries such as automotive, agriculture, food and beverage, defense, biomedical, cosmetics, energy, and electronics industry, which is pushing market growth. Additional factors pushing market growth include growing semiconductor and electronics industry, and growing demand from emerging and current applications, including technological development, efficiency enhancement, and dye-synthesized solar cells.

On the contrary, scarcity of skilled professionals, high initial investment, high training cost, strict export regulations, and slow deposition rate are factors that may restrict the atomic layer deposition market growth over the forecast period.
