Report Description
The global sapphire technology market size is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the utilization of the technology across a variety of industries including power electrical devices, information technology, and aerospace & defense.
In its purest form, sapphire is essentially aluminum oxide that has no porosity or limits and is, hence, dense in nature. In comparison to its counterparts, some remarkable characteristics of the substance have made it one of the most successful semiconductor materials. High-power CMOS integrated circuits and in high-frequency thin sapphire wafers are employed as an insulating substrate. Silicon on sapphire (SOS) chips are some common names for these integrated circuits and are generally utilized in high-power radio-frequency applications such as satellite communication systems and cellular phones. Both analogue and digital circuitry are integrated in the SOS chip. Sapphire provides strong insulation and even balances the generated heat in the circuit because it has a higher conductivity for heat and a lower conductivity for electricity. Therefore, sapphire has evolved as a versatile material that is specifically employed in the semiconductor sector.
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major setback on the market and shattered almost every industry in the world. The decline in the demand for sapphire technology was due to harsh impact of the pandemic that affected overall economic status of people, limiting consumer spending, and reducing non-essential expenditure.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing need for time-saving and efficient operating solutions for semiconductor related problems are key factors driving the market.
- Rising demand for semiconductor and its wide use in various applications across industries such as automotive and electronics present key drivers of the market.
