Hydrogen Free Diamond Like Carbon Coating (DLC) Market Report by Type (PVD, PACVD), Application (Automobile Components, Tooling Components), and Region 2024-2032
The global hydrogen free diamond like carbon coating (DLC) market size reached US$ 937.1 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1765.3 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.07% during 2024-2032. The growing utilization for enhancing biocompatibility of medical implants, increasing demand for high performance and cost-effective coating solutions, and rising adoption in the automotive industry for coating various components represent some of the key factors driving the market.
Hydrogen-free diamond-like carbon coating (DLC) is manufactured from a filtered cathodic arc decomposition technique wherein an electromagnetic filter removes extra droplets. It is widely available as physical vapor deposition (PVD) and plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD). It is dark grey in color and has high hardness, a very low coefficient of friction, and wear, abrasion, and corrosion resistance properties. It is highly suitable for coating on metals, such as titanium and cobalt and plastics materials, and provides non-stickiness, optical transparency, and increased durability. It assists in maintaining sharpness, enhancing performance, and increasing the shelf life of a product. Besides this, as it aids in reducing the risk of contamination and providing protection against local antibacterial infection, the demand for hydrogen-free DLC is rising across the globe.
Hydrogen Free Diamond Like Carbon Coating (DLC) Market Trends:
At present, the increasing demand for hydrogen-free DLC in the automotive industry for coating engine components, such as valve filters, door hinges, tappets, wrist pins, and camshafts, to reduce friction and enhance performance represents one of the major factors influencing the market positively. Additionally, the rising adoption of hydrogen-free DLC in the healthcare industry for coating several medical implants, such as hip and knee replacements, to improve their biocompatibility and eliminates the risk of infection in the body is contributing to the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing demand for scratch-resistant glass and various glass products among individuals around the world is offering a positive market outlook. Moreover, the rising adoption of hydrogen-free DLC, as it is highly suitable for coating inserts, drills, taps, saw blades, and punches, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, various benefits offered by hydrogen-free DLC, such as low friction, exceptional brittleness, and bio-inert properties, are supporting the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the demand for high-performance and cost-effective coating solutions across the globe. This, coupled with the increasing number of orthopedic surgeries, cardiovascular treatments, and therapies among individuals, is strengthening the growth of the market. Furthermore, the rising demand for hydrogen-free DLC on piston rings to provide a smooth substrate is impelling the growth of the market.
