Global Sapphire Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Type(Natural Sapphire, Synthetic Sapphire), By Application(Optical, Sapphire Substrates) - Industry Forecast 2023-2030

Global Medical Products Market size was valued at USD 7.14 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 7.61 billion in 2022 to USD 12.7 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.61% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Over the last couple of years, sapphire demand has soared. It is used to make expensive jewellery, bangles, and wristwatches. There are two primary types of sapphires: natural sapphires and synthetic sapphires. Sapphires can be produced and grown artificially as well as naturally in mining operations. The mines are where natural sapphires are extracted. These sapphires are the priciest and most expensive kinds. The blue sapphires were either the first discovered sapphires or the simplest sapphires.

Hardness, optical transparency, strength, and chemical inertness are just a few of sapphire's many advantages. These stones are extraordinarily well-crafted and flawless. This has led to their application in RF operations, power IC, power semiconductors, opto-semiconductors, and other areas in the power, electronic goods, aerospace, and defence industries. Thanks to developments in the semiconductor industry, sapphire technology will be improved.

Driver

The expansion of the sapphire market is primarily being caused by an increase in usage in industries including IT & communications, power, aerospace, and defence. It is about to establish itself as a successful substance in semiconductors as a result of its exceptional properties. According to estimates, the sapphire industry will continue to expand as a result of sapphire's expanding use in RF and power electronics applications.

Sapphire is used in a lot of optical applications in the medical field. It is utilised for its durability and hermetic properties that are optically clear. Tomography and CO2 laser surgery equipment are two uses for sapphire. Creating orthopaedic implants, scalpels, and optical probes are a few further uses. Sapphire can withstand chemicals like blood and chlorine and fluorine due to its mechanical toughness. Its numerous advantages, including as hardness, optical transparency, strength, and chemical inertness, led to the market's expansion.

Restraint

Since it will become less expensive to create, the cost of synthetic sapphire will likewise reduce as technology improves. On the other hand, natural stones are rare, which will keep them at a large premium. Therefore, as technology advances, the price of synthetic sapphire will decrease, which is expected to impede the growth of the sapphire industry.

Due to supply chain and manufacturing facility disruptions, the current coronavirus pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on a number of industrial sectors, including defence. The economic downturn and declining stock prices suggest that the crisis will also have an impact on how much demand there is for defense-related goods and services. The aforementioned issues can impede the constant growth of the sapphire glass industry.

Market Trends

Increased mobile purchases may help the industry recover in the near future, taking into account component shortages and supply disruptions brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic. The introduction of high-tech consumer goods like oximeters, which are increasingly used to monitor health at home, and smartwatches with robust screens and a variety of health-focused functions will also increase demand for sapphire materials globally.
