Sapphire is a kind of single crystal of alumina. It has unique lattice structure, wear resistance and wind erosion resistance. Its hardness is second only to diamond. It has good light transmittance, special conductivity and electrical insulation. It is an ideal lining for LED and SOS. Bottom material. In recent years, the proportion of sapphire in consumer electronics applications has increased, and the proportion of applications in LED substrates and SOS substrates has gradually decreased. Consumer electronics has opened up new market space for the sapphire industry.
At the same time, the application range of sapphire in consumer electronics products has gradually expanded, from small areas such as cameras and Home keys to large areas such as watch dials and mobile phone screens, and continues to penetrate into the consumer electronics field.
Smartphones account for the vast majority of consumer electronics. The application of sapphire in smartphones is currently mainly camera, home button, and mobile phone screen. According to data from the Prospective Industry Research Institute, in 2015, the penetration rate of global sapphire in smartphone lenses reached 25.5%, the penetration rate of Home button reached 12.76%, and the penetration rate of mobile phone screen reached 7.5%.
With leading companies such as Apple, Samsung, and Huawei increasing their use of sapphire, there is still room for significant penetration in the future. According to the "China Sapphire Industry Analysis Report", by 2020, the penetration rate of global sapphire in mobile phone lens will reach 60%, the penetration rate of Home button will reach 50%, and the penetration rate of mobile phone screen will reach 40%.
In addition to smartphones, the proportion of sapphire in other consumer electronics products will also increase. For example, according to the above report, by 2020, the penetration rate of global sapphire in smart watches will reach 85%.
With the advancement of sapphire technology, sapphire still has a lot of room for expansion in consumer electronics. In 2015, the global sapphire material market was 7.05 billion yuan, which is expected to increase to 34.15 billion yuan by 2020, with an average annual compound growth of 37.1%.
At present, the sapphire industry is not mature enough, and the scope of application is still limited, and it has not reached market expectations. The problems in the sapphire industry mainly include: the automation of most sapphire growth methods is not high, the quality of long crystal products is uneven, the lack of uniform quality standards, and insufficient industrial supporting capacity.
In the future, the sapphire industry needs to be developed and expanded. It is necessary to combine market demand, increase innovation, ensure product quality, and develop toward low-cost growth of high-quality large-size sapphire single crystals. At the same time, the industry must also carry out effective integration, and cooperate with upstream and downstream to promote industrial development.
In general, the strong demand in the consumer electronics market will provide a steady stream of sapphire industry development, and the sapphire industry has a broad prospect.
