Global Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) Market to Reach $33.1 Billion by 2029

"PVD Coatings Transform Industries with Sustainability, Advanced Thin-Film Technologies and Rising Demand Across Medical, Solar and Electronics Sectors."

BOSTON, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- According to the latest study from BCC Research, the "Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD): Global Markets" is projected to grow from $22.8 billion in 2024 to $33.1 billion by the end of 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 through 2029.

The global PVD market is segmented by product type (equipment, material, services), technology (thermal evaporation, sputtering), application (medical devices, photovoltaics, cutting tools, data storage and microelectronics), and region (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and the Rest of the World). The report covers market dynamics, regulations, ESG trends, competitive landscape, emerging technologies and company profiles of the 15 leading companies.

As developed countries accelerate efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions, PVD has emerged as a green coating technology, making the industry safer and more sustainable. Restrictions on hexavalent chromium electroplating in Europe and North America have further increased demand for PVD coatings. Additionally, emerging industries such as solar, wind turbines, and green hydrogen are leveraging PVD to enhance product durability and extend service life.

The factors driving the market include:

Limitation on the Use of Hexavalent Chromium Plating: Regulations restricting the use of toxic hexavalent chromium plating have increased the demand for PVD as a safer and eco-friendly alternative.

Increasing Demand for Decorative Coatings: PVD coatings are widely used in luxury goods, automotive and consumer electronics due to their ability to provide a high-quality, durable, and visually appealing finish.

Growth in End-Use Industries: Industries such as medical devices, photovoltaics, cutting tools, and microelectronics are rapidly adopting PVD due to its ability to enhance product performance, longevity and efficiency.

Digitalization and Automation in the PVD Market: Technological advancements are improving PVD efficiency, enabling faster production, better precision, and reduced costs through automation.
