At 6.2% CAGR, the North America Sapphire Substrate Market is projected to be worth US$ 496.07 million by 2028, says Business Market Insights   

According to Business Market Insights’ research, the North America sapphire substrate market was valued at US$ 329.47 million in 2021 and is expected to reach US$ 496.07 million by 2028, registering an annual growth rate of 6.2% from 2021 to 2028. Widening uptake of silicon-on-sapphire microelectronic circuits and raising demand for sapphire substrate in LED applications.                

The growing demand for silicon-on-sapphire microelectronic circuits has been propelling the sapphire substrate market significantly. It is the way of developing a monocrystal Si film on sapphire wafers crystal face (1-102), known as the heterogeneous extension method. It then develops semiconductor devices on monocrystal Si film. It has the same thermal expansion coefficient as the monocrystalline Si.  These Silicon Sapphire Substrate has incased the usage of microelectronics and optoelectronics technologies. Sapphire usage for wafers has also helped in reducing the overall cost of larger wafers at relatively low rate. Currently, high quality GaN crystals can overgrow on sapphire wafer with the significant rise of growth technology. The (0001) sapphire surface has become the most ideal application of the substrate. The increasing demand for silicon-on-sapphire circuits can be credited to several benefits, such as high speed, low power consumption, and resistance to radiation. Additionally, silicon-on-sapphire microelectronics circuits are broadly utilized in developing high frequency and high-speed radio communication, smartphones, desktop computers, small satellite, laptops, and aerospace industry applications. These factors and rising usage among various industries has positive impact on the sapphire substrate market.  

On the contrary, fabrication of high resolution in sapphire nanostructures.

Based on application, the North America sapphire substrate market is segmented into LED, RFIC application, laser diode, silicon on sapphire (SOS) IC, others. The LED segment held 77.8% market share in 2021, amassing US$ 109.97 million. It is projected to garner US$ 159.09 million by 2028 to expand at 5.6% CAGR during 2021–2028.

Based on country, the North America sapphire substrate market has been segmented into the US, Canada, and Mexico.  Our regional analysis states that the US captured 80.7% market share in 2021. It was assessed at US$ 113.95 million in 2021 and is likely to hit US$ 164.03 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.  

Key players dominating the North America sapphire substrate market are Meller Optics, Inc.; Rubicon Technology Inc.; Precision Micro-Optics Inc.; CRYSTALWISE TECHNOLOGY INC.; SAINT GOBAIN S.A.; KYOCERA Corporation; and Monocrystal among others.

• In January 2022, Meller Optics, Inc. has released custom-made sapphire windows and domes suitable for shielding cameras, detectors, and sensors on military and commercial drones built for usage in severe environments.  

• In March 2016, Rubicon Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of optical sapphire components and sapphire substrates, announced the successful production of another very high-quality sapphire slab with dimensions of 18"W x 36"L x 2"T that meets the next two milestones in its development contract with the Air Force Research Laboratory. Rubicon carved two extremely big panes of high-quality monocrystalline sapphire from a single block. The dimensions of these unpolished windows are 18 x 30" and 17 x 25", each up to 1" thick.
