Patent analysis is performed by region, country, assignee, patent category, application, and material type. Report Includes: - 107 data tables and 26 additional tables - Industry analysis of global market for sputtering targets and sputtered films - Analyses of global market trends with data from 2016, 2017 and 2018, and projections of compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) through 2023 - Information on the most advanced sputtering methods and emerging processes along with the reviewed latest methods for fabricating sputtering targets - Qualitative and quantitative analysis of the global market by application, material type and geographical region - An overview of the new technological developments in fabrication of sputtering targets, while outlining technical issues - Identification of current technological trends with an objective analysis of trends in recently issued U.S. patents - Company profiles of key market players, including Hitachi Metals, Honeywell Electronic Materials, Mitsubishi Materials Corp., Praxair and ULVAC Summary Sputtering is one of the most popular coating processes used by the advanced materials industry to deposit thin films (i.e., films with a thickness below 5 microns). Sputtering targets are high-value products that provide the material for creating the film during the sputtering process. Over the years sputtering targets have become available based on a variety of materials and with various geometrical configurations for satisfying the requirements of a growing range of applications. BCC Research has identified eight sectors where sputtering has current and potential use: electronics, optoelectronics, energy, life sciences, mechanical/chemical, optical coatings, sensors and instrumentation, and others (e.g., web coatings, decorative coatings, and functional coatings). This study highlights the latest developments in sputtering target technology, including target types, materials, fabrication processes, and applications. It also offers a detailed market analysis of sputtering targets by segment (application, material type, and region), describing technical aspects and trends that will affect future growth of this market. The global market for sputtering targets is estimated to be valued at REDACTED in 2018. A total of nearly REDACTED targets are projected to be used in 2018 for depositing almost REDACTED square meters of thin films for integrated circuits, other circuit devices, passive components, data storage devices, advanced displays, photovoltaic cells, fuel cells, batteries, protective coatings, automotive and architectural glass, medical implants, sensors and instrumentation, and other applications. The energy sector, which includes devices such as solar cells, photothermal systems, fuel cells, batteries, and thermoelectric devices, is the largest consumer of sputtering targets and is estimated to account for REDACTED of all revenues in 2018. The electronics sector, which includes integrated circuits and other circuit devices, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), passive and embedded components, and data storage devices, represents the second-largest share of the market, at REDACTED of the total in 2018. On-going expansion of the advanced display market and rising sales of light-emitting diodes, lasers, and optical waveguides are making optoelectronics the third-largest sector in terms of revenues.Sputtering targets for optoelectronics are estimated to account for REDACTED of the total in 2018. All the remaining applications will result in a combined share of REDACTED by the end of 2018. Although there are technology trends within the electronics industry that are expected to negatively affect sputtering targets sales within this sector during the next five years, other sectors (e.g., optoelectronics, energy, and optical coatings) will drive revenues to positive overall growth during the forecast period.
