Thin and Ultra-thin Films Market: Miniaturization of Electronic Devices Augmenting Demand, TMR

A recent intelligence study by Transparency Market Research (TMR) suggests that the global thin and ultra-thin films market is moderately consolidated in nature with three players holding 35.5% shares in 2015. These three players, Kaneka Corporation, Corning Inc., and E.I. du Pont, are expected to remain dominant with improved products that offer supreme performance. 

According to the TMR report, the global thin and ultra-thin films market had an opportunity worth US$32.78 bn in 2015, which will increment up to US$115.41 bn by the end of 2024, exhibiting a strong CAGR of 15.1% during the forecast period of 2016 to 2024. Product innovation is the need of the hour in this market as poor conversion efficiency of thin film solar cells and complex construction structure are posing significant challenges for the vendors.
Microelectronics Opening New Opportunities
By end-user, the report segments the global thin and ultra-thin films market into electronics, batteries, photovoltaic, and others including optoelectronics and defense and military. Out of these, thin film electronics segment is most profitable, accounting for nearly 75% of the demand in 2015. This is a reflection of incremented usage of thin and ultra-thin films in microelectronics, mobiles, tablets, TVs, and other electronic devices. Moreover, evolving sector of the Internet of Things and internet connectivity will further fuel the demand for thin film electronics segment. By technology, the report bifurcates the market into printing and deposition process including physical vapor deposition (PVD) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD). In the market at its current state, printing technology is most profitable, gaining from its cost-efficient features with added flexibility. 
Geographically, the report studies the lucrativeness of all the important regions including North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Currently, Asia Pacific is most important region for the vendors in this market, expected to expand at most prominent CAGR of 24.1% during the forecast period.
Nanotechnology Augurs Well for Future
The thickness of thin and ultra-thin films ranges from micrometer to fractions of a nanometer, and are used as layers of several materials spread over a substrate to enhance its properties such as adding environmental protection. Various process of generation of thin films are utilized by various end users such as physical or chemical vapor deposition, and printing on electronic devices.

The increasing preference of printed electronics over thin and ultra-thin films for ongoing miniaturization in electronics and semiconductor industry is the primary driver of the global thin and ultra-thin films market, besides developing field of nanotechnology and growing demand for cost-efficient renewable energy sources. Solar cells, electronic semiconductor devices, and optical coatings are the most important applications gaining from thin film construction. The developments in nanotechnology related to several verticals of materials science as well as increasing usage of these films for food and medical packaging are other factors augmenting the demand. 
According to the author of the report, “Environment organizations such as EPA, Department of Energy Resources, and Greenpeace are opening new avenues for the players in the thin and ultra-thin films market by regulating the minimization of carbon footprints, and thereby fueling the demand for renewable energy source such as photovoltaic cells.” The author finds that traditional crystalline cells have a low absorption rate and are considerably costly than thin film PV cells. The flexibility of these thin film PV enables them to be laid down on any kind of surface and are less susceptible to damage.

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
