The global plasma surface treatment equipment market size was USD 442.2 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 633 million in 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.2% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with plasma surface treatment equipment market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over. 

Plasma surface treatment equipment is used to change the surface characteristics of materials using the plasma treatment technique. Plasma treatment is a form of surface modification procedure in which a material is exposed to a low-pressure plasma environment. The plasma treatment improves the material's surface characteristics by adding new chemical functions or eliminating contaminants from the surface.

A plasma generator, a vacuum chamber, a gas supply system, and a substrate holder are common components of plasma surface treatment equipment. The plasma is created by ionising a gas such as oxygen, nitrogen, or argon. The vacuum chamber is used to regulate the pressure and atmosphere in which plasma is produced. The plasma surface treatment equipment market is driven by increasing demand for high-quality and eco-friendly manufacturing processes in various industries, growing demand for consumer electronics and increasing investments in research and development.

COVID-19 Impact: Pandemic Hampered the Demand for Market

The COVID-19 epidemic had negative influence on the market. The epidemic disrupted the worldwide supply chain and reduced demand for items that require plasma surface treatment equipment. However, the market is likely to revive as the global economy strengthens and demand for these items increases. The pandemic produced a large drop in worldwide industrial activity, resulting in a drop in demand for plasma treatment equipment. The lockdowns and mobility restrictions also had an impact on the supply chain, creating delays in the delivery of raw materials and equipment. As the global economy progressively improves, the market is projected to rebound. The need for plasma treatment equipment is likely to rise as its applications expand. Because of its uses in the electronics, automotive, and medical industries, the demand for plasma treatment equipment is likely to grow.
