Global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market Definition
Diamond-like Carbon coatings (DLC), are an unstructured form of carbon with a diamond bond. It is a nanocomposite coating that possesses exceptional properties of natural diamonds such as high hardness, low friction, anti-reflectivity, abrasive power, and high corrosion resistance. Two main types of DLCs are pure DLC and mixed DLC. Diamond-like Carbon coatings (DLC) can be deposited on almost all types of metals, alloys, and as well on non-metals, such as glass, silicon, plastics, ceramics, etc. Dependent on the application, various formulations of Diamond-like Carbon coatings are utilized. DLCs are utilized to coat surgical devices in the medical industry and to coat auto parts in the automotive industry. DLC is found in seven different forms, all of which contain significant amounts of sp3 hybridized carbon atoms.
Diamond has two distinct crystalline polytypes: carbon atoms organized in 3-D cubic lattices and carbon atoms organized in hexagonal lattices. The various forms of DLC are created by combining these two polytypes in various ways at the Nano scale level of structure. Tetrahedral amorphous carbon is the hardest, strongest, and slickest form of DLC (ta-C). This type of DLC is amorphous, flexible, and purely sp3 bonded “diamond.” Furthermore, the application of diamond-like carbon coatings to a wide range of mechanical parts is certain to yield economic benefits in addition to dramatic improvement in performance and life. Moving forward, diamond-like carbon coatings can be deposited using a variety of techniques.

Global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market Overview
Increasing demand for Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) coating in the automotive sector for wear-resistant and high-performing automotive components, growing demand for DLC in the medical sector for wear-resistant, biocompatible, anti-corrosive, and anti-debris forming devices, and increasing awareness of environmental problems are the factors anticipated to boost the growth of global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market. However, lower temperature damages the DLC to graphite, and limited coating thickness (5 µm and below) may hamper the market growth.
The demand for diamond-like carbon coatings has been increasingly accelerated due to rising adoption in the automotive sector industry, especially after immense research on vehicle emission standards globally leading to EPA CO standards that have made it a mandate for the original equipment manufacturers to be equipped with effective emission control techniques. The raising concern regarding the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions owing to stringent regulations and technological advancements along with initiatives taken by the government towards clean technology adoption will further accelerate the demand for Diamond-like Carbon (DLC).
Growing demand for DLC in the medical sector for wear-resistant, biocompatible, anti-corrosive, and anti-debris forming devices, as well as increased awareness of environmental issues, is expected to drive the global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market. Furthermore, rising applications in the medical industry, owing to DLC’s excellent benefits such as low friction, exceptional brittleness, and bio-inert properties, are expected to drive growth in the market in the coming years. The global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market’s solutions and products are increasingly being used for both regular therapy and orthopedic surgeries. The solutions in the global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market can also be beneficial in cardiovascular treatments and guidewires in the medical sector.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the global Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market, resulting in the closure of manufacturing units, an increase in raw material prices, a labor shortage, supply chain disruption, and financial instability. Furthermore, the disruption of the automotive industry as a result of the economic slowdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has hampered the growth of the Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) Market. Businesses, on the other hand, are gaining ground as previously imposed restrictions are relaxed in various locations. The medical sector has expanded significantly in recent years and is expected to expand further during the forecast period. Lower temperatures, on the other hand, damage the DLC to graphite, and limited coating thickness (5 m and below) may stymie market growth.
