Prevalence of Sputter Target in Coating Applications:

A shift in the people’s living standards has led to the growth of the decorating coatings market, which is supporting the sputter targets market. This is because of the preference for these coatings to coat the surface of mobile phones, glasses, sanitary ware, hardware parts, and watches, as it beautifies the color of the substrate, and also provides improved functionalities such as wear-resistance and corrosion resistance for the same. Chromium (Cr), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), nickel (Ni), tungsten, and titanium aluminum (TiAl) are the primary types of sputter targets increasing the demand for decorative coatings. Therefore, this application is acting as the growth promoter for the sputter targets market. Tooling coatings is one of the main applications of sputter targets as it is used to strengthen the surface of tools and molds involved in the manufacturing industry. This coating is efficient in enhancing the quality life of processed parts, tools, and molds. Recently, developments in the aerospace and automotive industries are replicating the progression in the manufacturing industry coupled with the rise in the demand for high-performance tools and molds. Japan is representing one of the major shares in the global tool and die coating market. It is due to the application of an increased proportion of coatings for machining tools. TiAl, chromium aluminum (CrAl), Cr, and Ti are some of the main types of targets experiencing demand in the tooling coatings segment. Moreover, the prominence of sputter gutters, especially in the glass coating application to produce low-emission coated glass is also augmenting the APAC sputter targets market revenues. In the current scenario, the growing necessity for energy conservation and CO2 emission reduction to improve people’s quality of life has been resulting in the increasing production of energy-saving glasses. Magnetron sputtering method is used to produce a multi-layer film on the glass with energy-saving, light control, and decoration functionalities. Most of the major glass deep-processing companies are focusing to increase the coated glass production line, and therefore, there is an increase in sputtering targets market demand. Silver (Ag) target, Cr, Ti, NiCr, zinc-tin (ZnSn), silicon-aluminum (SiAl), and titanium oxide (TixOy) are the chief targets used for glass coating.  All the above-mentioned factors are driving the APAC sputter targets market demand.
