Ongoing developments of coating technologies (CVD, PVD) and R&D activities on nanotechnologies and high performance materials are improving product life time, performances and applications. These new developments are attracting new markets (semiconductors, medical devices, cutting tools).

 Digital Channels:

Continued adoption of digital channels, e commerce and data driven marketing allows manufacturers to globalize their reach with less cost, stronger relationships with consumers and distribution channels. Digital transformation is also delivering enhanced supply chain transparency leading to faster penetration.

Key Trends

Premiumization:

As customers are demanding more high performance diamond coatings for cutting tools, medical application or electronic components etc., there will be a trend toward more advanced, durable and high value coating solution with higher hardness and resistance.

Sustainability:

Additionally, they usher in green manufacturing through the creation of a higher volume of parts for a given number of tools, fewer scrap parts and lower energy usage.  As such, the use of diamond coatings have positive implications on the sustainability of production in the context of green manufacturing.

Digital Transformation:

The combination of state-of-the-art coating technologies with smart automation, AI-enabled quality control and precision manufacturing techniques is allowing for more efficient, consistent, scalable processes.
