Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/mt6s6k/global_ceramic) has announced the addition of the "Global Ceramic Coating Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

The analysts forecast the Global Ceramic Coating market to grow at a CAGR of 7.24 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the increase in ceramic coating of automotive components. The Global Ceramic Coating market has also been witnessing the increasing use of plasma-sprayed ceramic coating. However, the high total cost of ownership could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.

Key vendors dominating this space are APS Materials, Inc., Bodycote Plc., Praxair Surface Technologies Inc., and Kurt J. Lesker Co.

Other vendors mentioned in the report are A & A Company Inc., Accuwright Industries Inc., Aremco Products Inc., Cetek Ceramic Technologies, Flame Spray Coating Company Inc., Heany Industries Inc., High Performance Coatings Inc., and Morgan Technical Ceramics.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: The Global Ceramic Coating market is witnessing increasing use of plasma-sprayed ceramic coating, especially coating for semiconductor and LCD equipment. The size of semiconductor and LCD production equipment for dry etching, sputtering, and ashing is increasing due to the increase in the size of silicon wafers (from 200 mm to 300 mm) and LCD products. The use of plasma-sprayed ceramic coating makes the equipment lighter and enhances the durability. Thus, the increasing demand for plasma-sprayed ceramic coating in semiconductor and LCD equipment has led to the growth of the Global Ceramic Coating market.
