CVD diamonds are synthetic diamonds produced from chemical vapor deposition technique, in which diamonds are grown from a hydrocarbon gas mixture. CVD diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. Increasing demand for diamonds owing to its high thermal conductivity and low coefficient of friction, which makes them ideal for industrial applications such as laser diodes, water treatment electrodes, cutting tools, surgical tools, etc. Chemical vapors deposited (CVD) synthetic diamond is typically produced in a vacuum.  They are available in different colors can be produced, such as yellow, brown, green, blue, orange, and clear white. CVD diamond materials range in grain size from ultrananocrystalline and nanocrystalline films, through polycrystalline plates and wafers to large single crystals.

A major factor driving growth of the global CVD diamond market is cost advantage of CVD diamonds as compared to that for natural diamonds. Production of CVD diamonds are carried out at a higher rate as compared to the time ideally required to mine and cut or dress natural occurring diamonds, and offer flexibility to alter various properties as required for a specific end use. Absence of mining and fewer complexities related to the manufacture of CVD diamonds makes it more cost-effective for various end-use industries and applications.

Moreover, effective characteristics of CVD diamonds such as unique properties of negative electron affinity surface, stable excitons, long impurity spin relaxation, and surface hole accumulation layer of CVD diamonds offers various benefits in electronic and optoelectronic devices, which is not possible with semiconductors produced using other materials. CVD diamonds have various advantages over other semiconductor materials because these are pure carbon, have very stable carbon-carbon bond, and are biocompatible in nature.

However, more electricity is required to manufacture CVD diamonds and electricity required to produce one carat diamond does not scale with the number of or size of chambers required. Thus, electricity becomes a major cost concern for manufacturers. In addition, producing seeds is other cost that is a major overhead, and it is not likely that a costly alternative for diamond seed will ever be found. Another factor limiting growth of the global CVD diamond market is its low or no resale value. The cost of cutting and polishing CVD diamonds is the same as that for natural diamonds, and also highly skilled artisans will still be required to produce CVD diamonds, but still natural diamonds command a greater resale value, which is expected to hamper market growth to some extent in future is expected to restraint the growth of the global CVD diamond over the forecasted years.

Major players are focusing on electron emission materials has moved from field emission displays to a range of applications, including large-area vacuum electronics, power switches, electron amplifiers, and thermionic energy conversion. Therefore, innovation and advancements in NCD and homoepitaxial-doped diamond films will help to further drive developments in the field, thereby creating newer opportunities for players in the global market.
