Global synthetic sapphire market  to Raise at a CAGR of 8.4% over the Forecast Period

Sapphire is a gemstone, generally, natural sapphire is cut and polished into gemstone and worn as a jewelry. However, sapphire is also being created synthetically in laboratories to be used for decorative and industrial purposes. Production of synthetic sapphire is also gaining momentum globally, as sapphire is being used in some non-ornamental applications such as in making high-durability windows, as an infrared optical component, and as electronic wafers used as insulating substrates. Compared to its natural counterpart, synthetic sapphire is higher in clarity and purity. With advanced technologies and methods, manufacturers are developing white sapphire. It is highly durable and transparent material, finding large application as protective laser covering in defense, bulletproof armor, aerospace windows, and to develop scratch resistant surface.

Innovative technologies are used by manufacturers to develop synthetic sapphire for various applications. Increasing demand for starch-proof display screens in smartphones and tablets is resulting in the increasing use of synthetic sapphire for developing sapphire screen. Hence, manufacturers are focusing on increasing current synthetic sapphire capacity to meet the demand for the shatter-proof display screen.

Synthetic sapphire is also witnessing increasing demand to develop white LEDs and ambient lighting. The synthetic sapphire industry is undergoing a lot of changes in terms of product quality, production methods, pricing, and supply, due to the rise in the technical application of synthetic sapphire.

According to Persistence Market Research, the global synthetic sapphire market is likely to witness a strong growth throughout the forecast period. By the end of 2024, the global market for synthetic sapphire is projected to exceed US$ 9,200 Million revenue.
