The Sapphire Substrates Market size is
forecasted to reach US$884.26 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 5.6% from
2022 to 2027. Sapphire substrates are an essential component of the electronics
industry, serving as the foundation for electronic products such as field
effect transistors, LEDs, integrated circuits (ICs) and similar devices.
Sapphire Substrates ICs made out of chemical vapor deposition have many
benefits such as wide band gap energy, high speed, low power consumption, lower
cost and resistance to cryogenic temperature and radiation in comparison to other
substrates materials such as silicon and others. These factors are positively
influencing the Sapphire Substrates Industry Outlook over the forecast period.
However, the market's growth is hampered by a highly competitive market and the
easy availability of advanced technologies among manufacturers.
Moreover,
the LED industry,
which primarily uses Sapphire Substrates, is mainly responsible for boosting
the Sapphire Substrates Market size. LEDs are now being used in many
industry verticals such as general lighting, automotive lighting, healthcare
and so many others. LED lights offer high-lumen power by consuming less power,
better service life and no flickering. As a result of these factors, the
demand for sapphire substrates is constantly increasing. For instance, Luminii
announced the acquisition of Precision Lighting and Remote-Controlled Lighting
in October 2021. This acquisition is expected to benefit the company's business
presence and customer base. These factors increase the demand for Sapphire
Substrates, while positively influencing the Sapphire Substrates Industry
Outlook.
North
America generated approximately 23% of the global revenues in the Sapphire
Substrates industry in 2021, due to factors such as rising applications of LEDs, growing consumer
electronics demand and continuous R&D investments by major manufacturers. In
October 2020, Meller Optics Inc., a high-quality optics provider, announced the
release of new sapphire waveplates for visible lasers and high-power IR. Shock,
scratches, chemicals and temperature variations have no effect on these
custom-designed sapphire waveplates. These factors would further increase the
Sapphire Substrates market size in the North American region.

development of vehicles with smart control features, advanced driver assistance
systems, indoor and outdoor lighting and a variety of other factors have all
contributed to the growth of the Automotive LED market. The LED industry is one of the major end-users of Sapphire Substrates and due to the rise of
LEDs in the automotive sector, the demand for Sapphire Substrates is also rising.
In 2020, according to the data published by OICA, the number of passenger cars
sold across the world stood at 53.9 million units. In January
2022, HELLA launched the new Black Magic LED series on the European market
which can provide excellent off-road illumination of up to 15000 lumens. This
growth of the automobile industry and LED applications in them increase the
demand for Sapphire Substrates and enhances the Sapphire Substrates Industry
Outlook over the forecast period.
The
Major Players in this Market Include
Major
players in the Sapphire Substrates Market include Rubicon Technology Inc., Meller Optics Inc.,
Kyocera Corporation, Crystalwise Technology Inc., Compagnie de Saint-Gobain S.,
Monocrystal PLC and San’an Optoelectronics. In April 2022, Saudi
Arabian researchers developed single-crystal graphene by insulating sapphire
substrates on a wafer scale. The researchers consider this advancement
significant because the field-effect transistors made from a sapphire-grown
single-crystal graphene monolayer performed excellently.
