The term ""hard coating"" is synonymic with hard coat anodizing, and the entire process is accomplished through the electrochemical coating technique. This procedure encompasses anodization and sulfuric acid within an electrolyte concentration. Throughout this process, critical factors such as surface hardening, temperature, and electric current are meticulously managed.

The hard coatings market is highly sought after due to its myriad advantages. There are numerous applications where hard coatings play a pivotal role, including pneumatic components, equipment, ball bearings, medical tools, gears, industrial coatings, and tools.

The application of hard coating extends to the protection of lenses, providing scratch resistance and enhancing durability. This type of coating exhibits crucial properties such as resistance to wear and tear, electricity, and heat. Various industries adopt this coating due to its ability to deliver a low friction coefficient. According to research on the hard coatings market, global efforts are being made to achieve substantial growth in the market in the coming periods.

Amidst the recent pandemic, the hard coatings market experienced a minimal growth rate, primarily attributed to lockdowns and shutdowns implemented by various countries. These measures were enforced by governments to mitigate the rapid transmission of the virus, impacting the transportation of manufacturing parts and disrupting business operations. Restoring the market to its previous state becomes a challenging task under these circumstances.

However, the hard coatings market is gradually adapting to advanced marketing strategies, resiliently navigating the challenges to reclaim its position. The adoption of technological advancements such as AI, cloud computing, analytics, and IoT has played a pivotal role, enabling diverse industries to recover their market value.
