Key Takeaways
  • Platter substrate material is used in magnetic platter of the hard disk. The hard disk stores the data with a thin layer of magnetic material in the form of nulls and ones.
  • The impact of COVID-19 on aerospace industry have resulted with huge crisis. In the year 2020, the production of aircrafts have been reduced like it was never before. Owning to this factor, the consumption of Platter Substrate Material have been reduced, which have constraints the market growth.
Type - Segment Analysis

Glass Disk segment has been the primary market for Platter Substrate Material for many years.  This magnetic material is supported by the substrate material. The material of the substrate should be rigid and solid, as the disk spins at a high speed. The hard disk strength depends on the substrate's rigidity. The substratum consists of glass and aluminum. Because of the intense heat generated in this hard drive, the aluminum disc appears to be weak and because of the glass disc, the substrate material is preferred over the aluminum disk.

Application - Segment Analysis

Electronics Industry has been the primary market for Platter Substrate Material for many years at a CAGR of 6.35%. The magnetic patterns that comprise your data are recorded in a very thin media layer on the surfaces of the hard disk's platters; the bulk of the material of the platter is called the substrate and does nothing but support the media layer. To be suitable, a substrate material must be rigid, easy to work with, lightweight, stable, magnetically inert, inexpensive and readily available. The most commonly used material for making platters has traditionally been an aluminum alloy, which meets all of these criteria. Due to the way the platters spin with the read/write heads floating just above them, the platters must be extremely smooth and flat. With older, slower spindle drives and relatively high fly heights, the uniformity of the platter surface was less of an issue. Now, as technology advances, the gap between the heads and the platter is decreasing, and the speed that the platters spin at is increasing, creating more demands on the platter material itself. Uneven platter surfaces on hard disks running at faster speeds with heads closer to the surface are more apt to lead to head crashes. 

Geography - Segment Analysis

APAC dominated the Platter Substrate Material Market share with more than 35.26%, followed by North America and Europe. Owing to high demand, developing countries like China and Japan are on the rise. The manufacturers look into this potential market and make substantial investments in bringing up-to-date technologies and rising production ability to meet the growing demand in the market. China has a strong capacity to control global price because of robust manufacturing and the largest export of electronics in the world. The economy of APAC is mainly influenced by the economic dynamics of countries such as China and India, but with growing foreign direct investment for economic development of South East Asia, the current scenario is changing. Countries in South East Asia are witnessing high growth in the Platter Substrate Material. 

Drivers – Platter Substrate Material Market
  • Increasing demand because of its properties
Increasingly likely that glass and composites made with glass will be the next standard for the platter substrate. The most important reason for going to glass is probably that glass platters can be made much smoother and flatter than aluminum, improving the reliability of the hard disk and making low flying heights and faster spindle speeds more feasible. Another important consideration is that glass is more rigid than aluminum for the same weight of material. Improved rigidity, one of the reasons why platter sizes are also shrinking in size, is important for reducing noise and vibration with drives that spin at high speed. The enhanced rigidity of glass also allows platters to be made thinner than with aluminum, allowing more platters to be packed into the same drive dimensions. Thinner platters also weigh less, reducing spindle motor requirements and reducing start time when the drive is at rest.

Challenges – Platter Substrate Material Market
  • Material differentiation 
The substrate is usually made from an Aluminum alloy, Glass or Ceramic material. Some problems with aluminum platters are that if the drive overheats, the aluminum alloy expands at different rate to the other materials, this is also known as 'Differential Thermal Expansion' (DTE). In severe cases it can cause the coating to delaminate from the substrate resulting in a head crash. Manufacturers take DTE into account when designing drives by having several layers of coatings which expand at different rates so that the effect on the topmost layer is negligible. The composite materials consist of several layers, starting from the substrate;
