Global market for sputtering targets and sputtered films to reach $3.2 billion by 2018

Sputtering is one of the most popular coating processes used by the advanced materials industry. Over the years sputtering targets, based on a large number of materials, have become available to satisfy the requirements of an increasing range of applications, including microelectronics, data storage devices, advanced displays, mechanical/chemical, energy, optical coatings, and others. Increased R&D spending, the development of thin-film solar cells with higher efficiency, ongoing trends in miniaturization, and increased market penetration of sputtering technologies into developing countries are among the factors shaping near-term growth in this market.

BCC Research provides an in-depth analysis of the global market for sputtering targets and sputtered films through its report, Sputtering Targets and Sputtered Films: Technology and Markets.
