Global Sputtering Targets and Sputtered Films Technology and Markets Report 2019 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Sputtering
Targets and Sputtered Films: Technology and Market" report has
been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

This report provides an updated review of sputtering technologies and a
description of various types of sputtering targets and their fabrication
methods and identifies current and emerging applications for these
technologies.

This research delineates the current market status for sputtering
targets, defines trends, and presents growth forecasts for the next five
years. The sputtering target market is analyzed based on the following
segments: application, material type, and region. In addition,
technological issues, including key events and the latest developments,
are discussed.

More specifically, the market analysis conducted for this report is
divided into five sections.

In the first section, an introduction to the topic and a historical
review of the sputtering process are provided, including an outline of
recent events. In this section, an overview of the latest technological
developments related to sputtering technology is supplied, and current
and emerging applications for sputtering are also identified and grouped
in segments (electronics, optoelectronics, energy, optical coatings,
mechanical/chemical, life sciences, sensors and instrumentation, and
others).

The second section provides a technological review of sputtering
targets. This section offers a revised and detailed description of
sputtering target types, traditional and emerging target materials, as
well as typical fabrication methods and recent process updates. Each of
these three sections concludes with an analysis of the most important
technological developments since 2016, including examples of significant
patents recently issued or applied. The chapter ends with a highlight of
the most active research organizations operating in this field and their
activities.

The third section entails a global market analysis of sputtering targets
and sputtered films. Global revenues (sales data in millions of dollars)
are presented for each segment (application, material type, and region),
with actual data referring to the years 2016 and 2017, and estimates for
2018. Dollar figures refer to sales of sputtering targets at the
manufacturing level. Consumption of sputtered films and the target
material is also offered for the years 2016 through 2018 and compounded
annual growth rates (CAGRs) for these market indicators for the same
period are calculated.

The analysis of current revenues is followed by a detailed presentation
of market growth trends, based on industry growth, technological trends,
and regional trends. The third section concludes by providing projected
sputtering target revenues and total sputtered film areas within each
segment, together with CAGRs for the period 2018 through 2023. Projected
and forecast revenue values are in constant U.S. dollars, unadjusted for
inflation.

In the fourth section of the study, which covers global industry
structure, the report offers a list of the leading suppliers of
sputtering targets, together with a description of their products. The
analysis includes a description of the geographical distribution of
these firms and an evaluation of other key industry players. Detailed
company profiles of the top players are also provided.

The fifth and final section includes an analysis of recently issued U.S.
patents, with a summary of patents related to sputtering target
materials, types, fabrication methods, and applications. Patent analysis
is performed by region, country, assignee, patent category, application,
and material type.
