According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Boat Type Evaporation Sources market size was valued at US$ 379 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 540 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 5.2% during review period.
In 2025, global Boat Type Evaporation Sources production reached approximately 17.52 million units with an average global market price of around US$21 per unit. Single-line annual production capacity averages 200 k units with a gross margin of approximately 27%. The upstream of boat type evaporation sources is focused on high-purity metal targets and precision processing materials, primarily serving the semiconductor, optical, and solar cell industries, among which the semiconductor industry accounts for the highest consumption share, approximately 60%. The demand is driven by the upgrading of downstream industries and technological innovation, with business opportunities lying in the provision of high-performance and customized evaporation source solutions.
Boat Type Evaporation Sources are resistive heating elements fabricated from refractory metals, serving as integrated crucible-heater units that directly hold and thermally vaporize source materials through Joule heating. Their defining characteristic is a shallow, elongated trough geometry, which optimizes surface contact with the charge to ensure uniform thermal transfer and efficient melting. Constructed from materials like tungsten, molybdenum, or tantalum alloys, the boat must exhibit high thermomechanical stability to withstand repeated thermal cycling without significant deformation or sagging, and possess sufficient chemical inertness to prevent alloying or adverse reactions with the evaporant. The primary operational function is to convert electrical energy into localized, high-intensity heat, rapidly transitioning the source material from solid to a stable vapor phase with a controlled and consistent evaporation rate. This necessitates precise management of the applied current to achieve a stable molten pool, which is critical for minimizing spitting, achieving directional vapor emission, and maintaining film composition fidelity—especially for alloys. The boat's design directly influences vapor cloud distribution, material utilization efficiency, and the thermal budget imposed on the surrounding chamber. Its performance is inherently linked to maintaining good wettability between the molten source and the boat surface, managing thermal stress gradients to extend operational lifetime, and ensuring minimal contribution to film contamination through outgassing or particulate generation. As a fundamental, consumable interface in thermal evaporation, its reliable function underpins process repeatability, deposition rate control, and the attainment of desired thin-film properties such as uniformity, adhesion, and electrical conductivity.
In the future, the boat type evaporation source industry is poised to witness a convergence of technological innovation and customized design, enhancing the corrosion resistance and thermal efficiency of the equipment through the use of new materials and precise processing technologies. Simultaneously, the integration of intelligent technology and systems will trend towards optimizing energy efficiency and real-time monitoring. With the increasing emphasis on environmental protection, evaporation sources will focus more on energy conservation and reducing environmental impact, while adhering to global environmental regulations. Additionally, the industry will face challenges of miniaturization and lightweighting to meet the demands of portable devices and the growing market needs for semiconductors, optics, and solar cells. To ensure product quality and supply chain stability, the industry will strive to improve production standards and strengthen risk management.
