TaC COATING MARKET OVERVIEW

Global tac coating market size was projected at usd 0.01 billion in 2024 and is expected to hit usd 0.15 billion by 2033 with a CAGR of 28.7% during the forecast period.

Tantalum carbide also known as TaC is widely known for its superior hardness properties and thermal stability that is preferred in areas such as cutting tools and aerospace. These are anti-wear, heat stable and chemically inert and when applied to the component surfaces improve its strength, hardness, and other mechanical properties. TaC coatings are deposited using techniques like chemical vapor deposition to provide a shield layer to the equipment which works under harsh conditions and makes it suitable for efficient and reliable working in enhanced industrial conditions.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Downsizing of Operations in Manufacturing Industries during Pandemic Decreased Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 crisis impacted the tantalum carbide (TaC) coating business by halting or slowing down suppliers and restricting employees, thereby affecting efficiency and timeline periods. The downsizing of operations in manufacturing industries plus decline in business activity overall reduced the market for TaC-coated products in areas such as aerospace. But it also created a push for change and flexibility, as organizations sought to continue functioning despite the challenges imposed by the pandemic. Tantalum carbide is a material that is often used in a variety of industries as a coating to improve durability and wear resistance, for example in cutting tools, and these applications are likely to return to growth as industries seek for better performing and longer lasting materials.
