ALD Equipment Global Market Report 2026

ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) equipment is an innovative deposition technology that enables the precise deposition of ultra-thin layers, reaching thicknesses as fine as a few nanometers. ALD is utilized for applying protective and functional coatings, particularly in applications that demand corrosion or wear resistance, such as fuel cells. The technology is based on a surface-controlled thin film deposition process.

The main deposition methods of ALD equipment include plasma-enhanced ALD, thermal ALD, spatial ALD, roll-to-roll ALD, powder ALD, and others. Plasma-enhanced ALD is particularly used for synthesizing ultra-thin films with A (angstrom)-level resolution. This technique enables atomic-scale control of thin films made from various materials. The films deposited by ALD equipment include oxide films, metal films, sulfide films, nitride films, and fluoride films. These films find applications in non-semiconductor sectors such as medical, energy, conventional optics, and coatings. Additionally, they are applied in the semiconductor sector under the categories of 'more-than-Moore,' research and development facilities, and 'Moore' technologies.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs have affected the ALD equipment market by increasing the cost of imported vacuum components, precision valves, semiconductor-grade materials, and electronic control systems required for thin-film deposition. Semiconductor, solar, and medical manufacturing hubs in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe face longer procurement cycles and higher production expenses due to cross-border sourcing challenges. However, tariffs are also encouraging regional equipment manufacturing, local sourcing of high-value components, and investment in innovative deposition technologies that strengthen long-term supply chain independence.
