North America has established itself as the dominant region in the global diamond like carbon market. The region is expected to account for 37.8% of the market share in 2024. With the presence of major end-use industries, such as automotive, aerospace & defense, and construction, the demand for diamond like carbon coatings has been consistently high over the years. The region is home to global leaders in these industries such as Boeing, General Motors, Caterpillar, etc. which rely heavily on diamond like carbon coatings for application in components requiring high hardness, strength, and heat resistance.

The automotive industry in the U.S. and Canada has been at the forefront of employing diamond like carbon coatings in engine components and other high wear and friction parts to improve performance and reduce maintenance costs. The growth in adoption of DLC coatings across industries has also led to the presence of large suppliers and coaters in the region which ensures smooth and cost-effective supply chain operations. Multinational coating providers have their major manufacturing facilities located in North America in order to cater to the burgeoning local demand.

On the other hand, the Asia Pacific region has emerged as the fastest growing market for diamond like carbon globally. Countries like China, India, and South Korea are rapidly industrializing which has increased the consumption of DLC coatings across various end-use industries. The automotive sector in China and India especially has been instrumental in propelling the demand as both countries are now among the top auto producers in the world. In addition, the growing aerospace manufacturing clusters in countries like China, Japan, and South Korea have boosted the requirement of diamond like carbon for aircraft components. The presence of cost-competitive DLC coating service providers in China and availability of skilled labor has made the country an important exporter of DLC coated goods such as automotive and mechanical parts. Meanwhile, India has also strengthened its position as a supplier of coated components to major automotive OEMs due to supported government policies promoting the manufacturing sector. The diamond like carbon market in Asia Pacific is estimated to further accelerate due to expanding industrial and manufacturing capacities across the dynamic region.
