The global atomic layer deposition equipment market size reached USD 7.5 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 24.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 13.92% during 2025-2033.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) refers to a vapor phase technique that is deployed for depositing ultra-thin films on top of a substrate after getting exposed to alternating precursors. Some of the commonly used equipment includes single wafer, batch, plasma, large substrate ALD reactors, thin-film electroluminescent (TFEL) displays and other electronic components. These tools help in ensuring uniformity by controlling the thickness and improving or modifying various properties of substrates, including resistance, conductivity, and strength. On account of these properties, it is used in semiconductors, electronics, optical devices, fuel cells and thermoelectric materials. At present, atomic layer deposition equipment is commercially available in varying types, such as metal, plasma-enhanced, aluminum oxide, and catalytic.
Atomic Layer Deposition Equipment Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of ALD equipment across various research and development (R&D) facilities, healthcare, and solar sector on account of the increasing need for flexible tools to improve functionality and offer higher accuracy is primarily driving the market growth. In line with this, the rising demand for miniaturization, semiconductors, and power management systems in electronic materials for depositing various products, including data storage, small electronic components and display devices are further contributing to the market growth. This is further supported by the utilization of atomic layer deposition equipment for manufacturing integrated circuits (IC), chips, and micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) products, such as optical switches, sensors, and computers. In line with this, significant technological advancements have led to the introduction of spatial ALD for flexible electronics and three-dimensional (3D) printed reactors to ensure uniformity and conformity of complex 3D nanostructures, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the escalating requirement for solid-state thin-film batteries due to the increasing uptake of implantable, smartwatches, smartphones and medical equipment is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, strategic collaborations amongst key players for launching plasma-enhanced ALD are creating a positive outlook for the market.
