Sputter coating in scanning electron microscopy is a sputter deposition process to cover a specimen with a thin layer of conducting material, typically a metal, such as a gold/palladium (Au/Pd) alloy. A conductive coating is needed to prevent charging of a specimen with an electron beam in conventional SEM mode (high vacuum, high voltage). While metal coatings are also useful for increasing signal to noise ratio (heavy metals are good secondary electron emitters), they are of inferior quality when X-ray spectroscopy is employed. For this reason when using X-ray spectroscopy a carbon coating is preferred. According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Sputter Coater market size was valued at USD 7586.4 million in 2022 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 9431.1 million by 2029 with a CAGR of 3.2% during review period. The influence of COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine War were considered while estimating market sizes. Global Sputter Coating key players include JX Nippon Mining and Metal, Tosoh SMD, Honeywell, Praxair, Umicore, etc. Global top five players hold a share about 50%. Japan is the largest market, with a share about 46%, followed by North America and Europe,
