The sapphire high-strength glass industry mainly has two segmented markets, namely the material market and the product market. Sapphire materials are divided into sapphire crystals, sapphire crystal rods, sapphire turquoise, etc. Sapphire crystal, as an important technical crystal, has been widely used in many fields such as science and technology, national defense and civilian industry, electronic technology, etc. Such as infrared window materials, substrates in the field of microelectronics, laser substrates, and optical component applications. Sapphire ingots are aluminum oxide crystals used to produce sapphire substrates, which are the basic materials for LED lighting. Sapphire raw stones are mostly processed into jewelry.

Sapphire high-strength glass has the characteristics of high hardness, wear resistance, and high temperature stability, and is widely used in LED, consumer electronics, instrumentation, military and other fields. After the wide application of sapphire materials, sapphire products have also developed rapidly. Traditionally, sapphire is mainly regarded as a craft and jewelry in the world, with a high status in the minds of consumers. But with the development of sapphire research technology, sapphire has penetrated into the people, and various products have gradually penetrated into every aspect of life. At present, sapphire products mainly include sapphire glass, sapphire screens, sapphire lens protective glass, sapphire jewelry, etc.

In terms of the sapphire material market, LED substrates are the main application area of sapphire materials, but with the continuous development of sapphire in the consumer electronics field, new growth points will emerge. For example, smartphones all use sapphire cover plates, so the demand for sapphire will skyrocket, which will further create a broad market demand for the sapphire industry. In addition, there is a huge demand in the market for large-sized optical grade sapphire crystals, which are the main raw materials for key window materials such as radar windows, electro-optical windows, three in one windows, and electro-optical pod windows. In the future, with the development of medical equipment, environmental protection equipment, laser equipment, chemical equipment, high vacuum detection equipment, fiber guide boards in the textile industry, bar code scanner scanning windows, new generation mobile phone windows, photoelectric remote control windows, as well as related industries such as camera lens protection, projector protective prism, wear-resistant bearings, the market demand for sapphire windows in the entire civil field will further increase.

As for the sapphire product market, sapphire high-strength glass is currently mainly used as an auxiliary material in various fields. The quantity of sapphire products is relatively small, and the types are also relatively single. The main reason for the shortage of sapphire products is that sapphire production requires high technical requirements, and there are few enterprises that can produce sapphire products, resulting in a small quantity, variety, and high price of sapphire products. But with the development of technology and the entry of numerous manufacturers into the sapphire market, the variety of sapphire products will continue to increase. Meanwhile, driven by the increase in production technology and demand, the popularity of sapphire products is also a trend. The price of sapphire products will gradually decrease and evolve into products needed for daily life.
