Thin Film Material Market

Thin Film Material Market By Type (CdTe, CIGS, a-Si, Others), End-User Industry [Photovoltaic Solar Cells, MEMS, Semiconductors and Electrical (Circuit Boards), Optical Coating, Others], and Deposition Processes – Global Trends & Forecast to 2018

Report Code: AD 2284 Mar, 2014, by marketsandmarkets.com

[226 Pages Report] The thin film material market is expected to grow at a healthy CAGR over the next five years to reach $10,250 million, by 2018. Europe dominates the global market due to high usage of thin film materials in its various end-user industries. Although the European economy has still not recovered from the Euro crisis, it will continue to lead this market, followed by North America and Asia-Pacific.

The factors that drive growth in the thin film material market include high demand from current & emerging applications, increased demand for efficiency & miniaturization, advancement in technology, government policies, mandates, and subsidies. The factors that are providing hindrance in the growth of this market are the low conversion efficiency and huge investments required in R&D and technology.

The increase of concerns stemming from climate change and global warming has drawn the interest of several governments across the world towards renewable and green energy sources. Countries like Germany, India, the U.S., and the U.K. are offering fiscal incentives and schemes to encourage and drive the use of renewable energy. Government subsidies have played a major role in the growth of the solar power industry. Thin film materials offer a solution to this problem as these materials are efficient, effective, and reliable. The ease of miniaturization offered by these materials is one of the important reasons for MEMS industry to increasingly utilize micro components.

Sometimes, the lower efficiency of thin film materials, as compared to their conventional counterparts, restrains their overall growth. The thin film PV cell offers the efficiency between the ranges of 7-20%, which is much lower than that of crystalline PV cells, which have an efficiency of around 24%. The costs of these materials vary according to the size, type, and applications in which these are used. The downtime involved with their implementation and attachment to the already existing systems also causes significant losses to the company. However, the various advantages such as flexibility and ability to work under low light which are offered by thin film materials would continue driving the revenue growth.

The thin film material market is analyzed in terms of revenue ($million) for all regions, and its respective major countries. The revenues from each region have been broken down by the major end-user industries, namely, photovoltaic solar cells, microelectromechnical systems (MEMS), semiconductor, electrical (circuit boards), and optical coating.

The thin film material market is witnessing high growth on account of rising demand from existing and new applications that would become significant in the future, especially in the European region. Europe holds major market share followed by North America and Asia-Pacific. In terms of individual countries, the market is dominated by U.S. due to the constant innovations of thin film materials that help in optimizing and enhancing the present material and processes.

The thin film material market is anticipated to increase at a healthy rate annually, to reach $10,250 million, by 2018. These materials are primarily used in photovoltaic solar cells, MEMS, electrical, semiconductor and optical coating. The photovoltaic solar cells industry is growing at a high rate, while the MEMS industry is experiencing steady growth. The report covers the global market and its trends that concern five regions, namely, Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, The Middle East & Africa, and Latin America; and the major countries in each region such as U.S., Canada, Germany, France, Italy, China, Japan, India, and others.

The research and development cost involved in the thin film materials in terms of man hours, material, and technology are significant. There is a lot of R&D required at micro level to deliver a quality product. The growth in the global market requires constant innovation and the introduction of new and improved products and technologies that meet the requirements. This has contributed largely to an enhanced focus on R&D by the players to bring new products with better efficiency as well as to decrease the cost of production by implementation of new technologies.

The raw material used for thin film materials include cadmium, telluride, copper, indium, gallium, and selenide. Every thin film is unique and the manufacturers use their own set of raw material and ingredients to manufacture these material. Any change in the demand and supply of these raw materials could have an impact on the global industry. The raw materials such as copper are easy to source, but metals like cadmium are difficult to source because of their toxic nature. Cadmium was banned in the European Union, but recently the ban was partially revoked, and the usage of cadmium was restricted only to thin film photovoltaic cell. This was done to cash in on the better properties such as, higher efficiency and simple manufacturing method offered by Cdte as a thin film material.

Thin Film Material Market

Source: MarketsandMarkets Analysis

The two kinds of deposition processes used in the manufacture of thin film materials are: chemical and physical. Chemical deposition process produces these materials at comparatively higher speed than its physical counterpart. Also it offers greater reproducibility, resulting in increased usage by the companies in this market. But, physical deposition process will grow at a faster pace in the future as it is a low-temperature process, and simpler process as compared to chemical deposition process.
