Following the difficult trading conditions experienced during the global recession the thin layer deposition equipment market is seeing a return to growth, as its crucial end-user markets pick up. The global semiconductor market – a core end-user segment – was hit particularly hard by the economic downturn, with consumers holding back on purchases of electronic equipment and vehicles.

The promising economies of the emerging markets are now driving demand for thin layer deposition equipment, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, which has become the industry’s largest market.

The report splits the product segments of the thin layer deposition equipment market into two:

PVD (physical vapor deposition) equipment, the largest market segment, and the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) market, which is forecast to exhibit fastest growth, at over 10% p/a to 2017.

The markets are segmented further by end-use, e.g. Cutting Tools, Industrial/Energy, Medical Markets, for PVD and CVD, as well as Microelectronics, Optics, Specialty Packaging and Storage for PVD.

The following companies, amongst others, are profiled within the report: ASM International N.V.; Edwards Limited; Ionbond AG; Novellus Systems, Inc.; OEM Group; RIBER SA; Tecvac Ltd; Ti-Coating, Inc.; and Ultramet
