The 2nd International Sapphire Industry Technology (Shenzhen) Exhibition has been held in the Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center, whose opening time is from 9:00 to 17:30 June 25-27, 2015. International Sapphire Industry Technology Exhibition has been aiming at promoting technological innovation, indepth cooperation of the sapphire industry, and the sapphire’s wide application in new type consumable electronic products like LED, photoelectric information, smart phones and smart wearable, etc. It will attract hundreds of enterprises within sapphire industry from around the world. 

To this subject, analysts say, as the most widely used new material, the boom of sapphire material will last for a long time and its market is expected to be renewed for sapphire concept hype.

It is learned that sapphire has excellent optical performance, machine performance and physical and chemical properties. And its high strength, high hardness, resistance to erosion, wide optical transmission belt and other advantages have made it become the most widely used new material and has gradually been recognized by the market. The main application fields of sapphire material is the LED substrate and the optical field, but at the same time, it also becomes the latest must-haves in the consumer electronics market. Sapphire is stepping from high-end application domain into the mid-range domain gradually, and the mobile phone screen will be the bigger marketplace of sapphire material in the future.

In fact, Chinese enterprises have developed sapphire crystal growth equipment with completely independent intellectual property rights. Many mobile phone users can use the sapphire mirror in the future, and the market is expected to be in a new prosperity time. According to the prediction of relevant agency, the global market size of sapphire materials will increase from 1.47 billion RMB of 2013 to 14.15 billion RMB of 2018.
