The revival sapphire industry manufacturers will re-shuffle

Late last year, Apple 5S in HomeButton camera key and sapphire are used after the protective cover, effectively digest the sapphire production capacity, the end of last year, even as some international companies in the state of technology upgrades and maintenance shutdown, once brought sapphire supply and demand The short-term stress, sapphire crystal rod prices also rose for the first few years, once driven ingot rose to five dollars per millimeter price, and established industry gradually pulled away from the operating sapphire valley.

This year, the two sides of sapphire plant starts production capacity and expansion moves frequently, precisely Looking for the opportunity next year, but, due to the future application of surface structure also followed different, although the environment favorable for the sapphire industry, but manufacturers Competitiveness is also expected to appear shuffle along, sapphire big apple industry, but do not touch or do not touch the manufacturers, this time, I am afraid that is not easy in 2010 without irrational exuberance sapphire factory full scene appears.

Sapphire from the entire industry value chain, in general, the whole industry chain crystal growth is the most valuable part, accounting for about fifty-five% sapphire substrate costs, other cutting, grinding, polishing and other processes plus, then about 40 percent. Among these ingot production of high barriers to entry, and volume production is not easy, it is the key to the whole industry chain.

Therefore, once a large number of non-LED optical applications increase, the ingot is indeed likely to arise due to stock prices, research coordinating body estimates that next year ingot least five percent gap between supply and demand, as many as three percent.

The actual current situation, despite the majority of the ingot plant fear not become Apple's suppliers, but it can because a lot of new products and the resulting optical crystal rods inadequate supply, and thus indirectly benefit, higher product quality and quantity of grain rod plant, expected to be the biggest winner, domestic energy production ingot manufacturers, including Acme, Jia Jing Branch fastest at the end of this year, will be able Looking wave of new business opportunities.

In fact, Chinese manufacturers regardless of sapphire production yield or production technology, has the potential to catch up international companies, with Chinese manufacturers in the production costs than U.S., Japan and other developed countries manufacturers more competitive, China Sapphire Ingot Plant If production capacity next year to accelerate the release of global sapphire crystal rod plant will accelerate shuffle.

Can be established, the new generation of Apple's product applications locked in cooperation with GTAT, Apple has actually won most of the country, due to the sapphire ingot production in addition to the requirements of professional and high-technology equipment, the investment funds are also high, with Unlike the crystal growth manufacturing and processing segment, is a high technical threshold and barriers to trade, for the great challenges of the new entrants. Future development of the ingot plant is bound to the bigger, with a production scale strength of the manufacturers, have a chance in the next wave of fanfare rising tide of sapphire.
