Sapphire Glass Market Analysis:
The market for sapphire glass is experiencing steady growth, driven by its extensive utilization in the manufacturing of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). It is an anisotropic material that provides excellent thermal and mechanical properties, such as chemical inertness, optical transparency, and stability at temperatures up to 2000°C. Beyond this, the consumer electronics sector is employing sapphire glass in touchscreens, fingerprint sensors, camera covers, and other components of mobile devices and smartwatches.
In addition, sapphire glass is becoming a widely accepted material for semiconductor manufacturing due to its durability and scratch resistance, which makes it suitable for the etching process in vacuum and high-plasma environments. Furthermore, it is 99.99% pure in itself, making it an ideal material for constructing parts in semiconductor manufacturing lines.
Beyond this, the widespread product adoption in the aerospace and defense industries owing to its exceptional optical clarity, resistance to scratches, and excellent radiation-hardness. As global military expenditure reaches USD 2.21 trillion in 2022, the demand for sapphire glass will witness a continuous upward trajectory.
Sapphire Glass Market Trends:
Technological Advancements
Automated furnaces are being used to produce consistent sapphire boules that can be fabricated into products with superior mechanical, optical, and transmission properties. Besides this, technologically proven chemical processes, such as hydrochloric acid leach, are being used for manufacturing synthetic sapphire glass. This process is highly cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and reduces the impurities in the final product. Several market players are also expanding their investment in developing better production processes, exploring new applications of sapphire glass, and improving its properties. In addition to this, companies are incorporating advanced fabrication techniques and machines to cut and polish sapphire glass with extreme precision.
Increasing Use in Medical Devices
Sapphire glass is used in numerous medical applications, such as blood cell counters, blades, endoscope lenses, insulators, and laser hair removal systems. It boasts a range of properties that make it suitable for surgical applications like laser transmission, high resistance to heat, and non-thrombogenic properties. As global healthcare spending is projected to grow by 10.2% across the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries, the demand for sapphire glass is expected to surge in this sector. Besides this, the field of medical devices is witnessing significant advancements and investments, which is further increasing the demand for sophisticated optical and electronic components made from sapphire glass.
Advancement in Sapphire Crystal Growth Methods
The field crystal growth has witnessed considerable advancements with the introduction of processes, such as the heat exchanger method (HEM) and the Kyropoulos process. These methods offer significant improvement on traditional processes by enabling the production of uniform, large, and highly pure sapphire crystals. They also enable producers to meet the growing demand for pure sapphire glass in industries such as aerospace, defense, and electronics. Besides this, these advanced crystal growth methods allow the production of large sapphire boules, which makes them cost-effective for numerous applications.
