Atomic Layer Deposition Market Report 2026

The atomic layer deposition market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $3.17 billion in 2025 to $3.44 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to scaling of semiconductor device miniaturization, adoption of thin film technologies in electronics, expansion of integrated circuit manufacturing capacity, rising use of ald in research laboratories, improvements in vacuum deposition techniques.

The atomic layer deposition market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.75 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for advanced node semiconductor fabrication, rising adoption of ald in battery and energy applications, expansion of ald use in medical devices, growing investments in nanotechnology research, increasing need for atomic-scale process control. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of ald in advanced semiconductor manufacturing, rising demand for ultra-thin and conformal coatings, growing use of plasma enhanced ald processes, expansion of ald applications in energy storage devices, enhanced focus on process precision and yield improvement.

The rising demand for electric vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the atomic layer deposition (ALD) market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are powered by one or more electric motors, using energy stored in rechargeable batteries or other energy storage systems. The increasing adoption of electric vehicles significantly boosts the demand for lithium-ion batteries, which in turn drives the need for ALD technology. ALD is applied in the deposition of nanostructured materials within lithium-ion batteries, positively influencing market growth. For example, in January 2024, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), citing Wards Intelligence data, reported that combined sales of hybrid vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in the U.S. light-duty vehicle segment reached 16.3% in 2023, up from 12.9% in 2022. Consequently, the expanding electric vehicle market is expected to propel the atomic layer deposition market during the forecast period.

Companies in the atomic layer deposition market are focusing on developing advanced products to broaden their portfolios and strengthen market positions. In July 2023, Oxford Instruments, a UK-based manufacturer and research company, launched the PlasmaPro ASP, a high-rate atomic layer deposition research system within its Atomfab product line. The PlasmaPro ASP features a patented remote plasma source design, optimized chamber geometry, and wafer stage bias for ion energy control. These innovations enable a threefold increase in ALD deposition rates, low resistivity, and high TC superconducting nitride films, initially targeted for quantum applications.

In May 2023, Beneq, a Finland-based ALD equipment manufacturer, partnered with Lung Pien to advance ALD solutions for optical coating production, including camera lenses for mobile phones and automotive applications. This collaboration supports wider adoption of ALD technology in mass production and fosters industry knowledge exchange to address complex manufacturing challenges. Lung Pien is a Taiwan-based vacuum coating equipment manufacturer.
