Product Definition:
A carbon-based material that has a diamond-like structure. DLC is often used to coat tools and blades because it is very hard and wear resistant.
Pure DLC:
Pure Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) is a special type of carbon material with the chemical composition similar to that of natural diamond. It has superior properties such as high hardness, stiffness, and strength along with low thermal expansion and conductivity. Pure DLC is also resistant to chemicals, corrosion & oxidation along with high temperatures which makes it ideal for applications in automotive parts or equipment where durability & performance are key factors.
Mixed DLC:
Mixed DLC or double diamond-like carbon is a type of polycrystalline Diamond (DC) with low thermal conductivity. It has applications in electronics, aerospace and defense, automotive, energy storage devices and more. Mixed DLC is also known as single-crystal or single-cut diamonds owing to it’s production process which involves only one cut while forming the final product.
Application Insights:
The automotive application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 30% in 2017. The growth can be attributed to increasing demand from various automotive components such as window glazing, headlamp lenses, exterior body parts (bumper/grill), and interior body parts ( dashboard). Rising importance of lightweight materials with superior properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio is expected to boost the use of DLC products in automotive applications over the forecast period.
Medical application segment is expected to witness significant growth owing to rising use of DLP and LCD displays for medical purposes including x-ray plates, CT Scans & MRI images. Furthermore, growing usage of these displays in surgical equipment & devices along with their excellent heat resistance property will drive product demand further.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to rising product demand from end-use industries, such as automotive, medical, packaging, electronics and industrial. China is estimated to remain a key consumer owing to rapid industrialization along with increasing investments in infrastructure development.
Europe was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to growing automobile production coupled with high consumer preference for lightweight components. Moreover, technological advancements are anticipated boost product demand from electric vehicles as well as hybrid cars due their enhanced performance characteristics compared with conventional counterparts. North America emerged as the second largest regional market on account of rising use of DLC products for manufacturing LEDs used in lighting applications across various industries including aerospace & defense (aircraft interior), marine (boat interior) and automotive among others).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the automotive and aerospace industries due to its superior mechanical properties.
- Growing popularity of DLC coatings in medical implants and prostheses due to their biocompatibility and anti-fouling properties.
- Rising demand for DLC films in optical applications owing to their high transmittance and low absorption coefficients.
- Increasing use of DLC coatings in power generation systems for improved heat dissipation and corrosion resistance.
- Growing adoption of DLC-coated cutting tools in the manufacturing sector for enhanced wear resistance
