China Expected to Become the World's Tungsten Crucible Made Sapphire Industry Center

With the rapid development of sapphire glass industry, it is widely applied and industry chain gradually improved. China mainland has cost advantage and it is expected to become the world's tungsten crucible made sapphire Industry Center. At present, China mainland sapphire industry gradually became mature forming a complete industrial chain from the crystal growth furnace equipment, crystal growth to processing. China mainland currently has many excellent sapphire manufacturers and its maturity production technology is not lost on China Taiwan.

China became the dominant sapphire industry center have the following main points:
1.Low electricity cost: Sapphire production energy consumption is very large, accounting for a large proportion of the sapphire cost. To a large extent, the price of electricity will significantly affect the sapphire cost. China has a certain electricity price advantage. What’s more, many manufacturers will select manufacturing address at someplace where it has lower electricity cost, and select the big city for high-tech processing.

2.Sufficient raw material: The main raw material of sapphire crystal is aluminum oxide. China is the world's largest alumina producer. Recently the price of aluminum oxide is steady decline, which is a big advantage for China's sapphire manufacturers. China alumina raw materials are sufficient, not only reduces the cost of production, it may also provide a chance for large-scale sapphire production.

3.Tax rate protection: China Customs sets sapphire as luxury so there are 17%consumption tax and 11% added-value tax of sapphires. So to import sapphire requires higher taxes. And with China's sapphire industrial development and growth, the advantages of import sapphire are reduced.

4.Production equipment advantages: tungsten crucible is an essential component for the sapphire production in sapphire growth furnace which plays a vital role for sapphire production. China is the largest tungsten producer and has mature technology for tungsten crucible production which is a big advantage for sapphire.

5. Market: With the development of economy and technology, China has a large sapphire market.
