Recent years have seen nanotechnology, particularly nanocoating, make significant strides across various industries in Iran.
According to the latest statistics from the Nanotechnology and Microtechnology Development Headquarters, Iran’s nanocoating market reached 250 trillion rials last year. The market encompasses diverse technologies, including physical vapor deposition (PVD), nanoparticle spraying, conversion coating, and anodizing.
Data from early 2024 show that PVD technology dominates Iran’s nanocoating market, with a 97.8% share, as reported by the Communications and Information Center of the Vice Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy.
PVD’s popularity stems from its high precision, ability to create durable layers, and superior coating quality.
The technology’s market dominance is related to several key advantages, including producing ultra-thin, uniform coatings that enhance material surface properties, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and oxidation, and extending component lifespan in automotive, aerospace, industrial tools, and decorative items.
Environmentally, PVD stands out as an eco-friendly solution that reduces pollution and hazardous waste generation.
Its economic benefits include lower maintenance costs and increased part durability, making it an attractive option for manufacturers.
