With the ever-increasing evolution of sapphire substrate in material landscape, there is a surge in the demand for sapphire-based products and devices to employ in the number of commercialized applications. During the extensive research carried out in search of an alternate semiconductor material in the previous century with most amazing properties, sapphire proved useful in semiconductors market such as high-brightness emission and intensity when used in opto-semiconductors, high power efficiency in LED and other power devices, extensively flexible, and low cost.
The penetration of sapphire was in industrial and power sector with the development of sapphire wafers that were used in power IC and RFIC applications. While the penetration growth rate is healthy and substantial in power semiconductors, the penetration rate in opto semiconductors and aerospace and defense industry is explosive. One of the major reason for such a high growth in opto semiconductor applications is due to the increase in the LED demand since the inception , and the cost at which the sapphire substrate are available created a buzz in optical semiconductor sector. With new advancements in technologies, it was possible to produce larger sapphire windows that could be used in aerospace and defense industry.
According to the geography, APAC has the major share in the overall sapphire semiconductors market within which South Korea enjoys the major market chunk in this industry.
The sapphire substrate market value is expected to grow from $XX million in 2013 to $XX million in 2020, at an estimated CAGR of XX% from 2014 to 2020. The Si-on-sapphire market accounted for the largest share, that is, $XX million in 2013 and is expected to reach $XX million in 2020, at a CAGR of XX% from 2014 to 2020. As LED is the major application of the sapphire semiconductor market and Si-on-sapphire represents the major market chunk for LED, it is fuelling the overall growth of Si-on-sapphire market. SiC-on-sapphire is the next biggest market for sapphire substrate and accounted for $XX million in 2013 and is expected to reach $XX million in 2020, at a CAGR of XX% from 2014 to 2020.
