LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Technavio has announced the top 10 leading vendors in their recent global sapphire semiconductor market report until 2020. This research report also lists five other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.
Competitive vendor landscape
The global sapphire semiconductor market is highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of established manufacturers and a significant number of small and medium-sized enterprises. The market is characterized by the presence of well-diversified global and regional vendors. However, as global players expand their footprint, regional vendors are finding it difficult to compete, especially on aspects such as quality, performance, and price.
According to Navin Rajendra, an industry expert at Technavio for embedded systems research, “The competitive environment in this market should intensify with the increase in utilization of sapphire substrates due to increasing government initiatives and funding to promote LED adoption in different countries across the globe.”

Top 10 sapphire semiconductor market vendors
Aurora Opto
Aurora Opto estimated reaching a revenue target of USD 232 million (a YoY revenue growth of 133.83%) and a net profit of USD 41 million (a year-over-year net profit growth of 97.72%) in 2015.
In 2015, the sapphire ingot segment revenue reached USD 69 million, with single crystal furnace sales of USD 80 million. The company's sapphire chip segment generated a revenue of USD 19 million, the consumer product segment earned about USD 55 million, and other products segment was valued at USD 8 million.
Crystal Applied Technology
Crystal Applied Technology produces compound semiconductor single crystal substrates for LEDs. The company's products include SAW wafer and sapphire wafer for LED base board and filter base board.
Crystal Applied Technology and Sapphire Technology are the only Apple certified sapphire substrate manufacturers. Crystal Applied Technology's future sapphire orders will be gradually focused on Apple's supply chain.
Crystalwise Technology (CWT)
CWT was the first professional producer of hard substrate in Taiwan. The company has successfully developed many types of substrate and put them in mass production. It produces substrates such as LiNbO₃ and LiTaO₃, which are used for the sapphire substrate and SAW filter device for blue-white LED epitaxy.
The company uses the subsidiary as a base of operations for representing the business in other regions of China. In addition, CWT fulfills the demand of domestic customers in China with the help of its subsidiary company. In January 2013, CWT merged with Sino Sapphire and became the world's largest supplier of a sapphire substrate used for optoelectronics manufacturing.
