Since LED Chip Manufacturers Raised Utilization Rate, Sapphire Substrate Price Slightly Decreased
According to the latest “2013 Global Sapphire Substrate Market Report” published by the LEDinside research department of TrendForce global market research institute, the price declines of 2-inch and 4-inch sapphire substrate have slowed down in 1Q13, while there are even some signs on certain low market prices slightly rebound.
Benefited from lighting and backlight market demand in 1H13, LED chip manufacturers raised their utilization rate, also encouraged sapphire substrate market demand. Besides, there are even some signs on certain low market prices slightly rebound. Take the price of 2-inch sapphire substrate (CSS) as an example, the price has come back to around US$6.8~7. In addition, the 4-inch sapphire substrate (CSS) price stayed at USD30~35. Although LED chip manufacturers consistently increased the 4-inch sapphire substrate production ratio, and raised the demand on 4-inch sapphire substrate, there is the room for sapphire substrate manufacturer to get the profit. Therefore, the recent 4-inch sapphire substrate price remained stable.
LEDinside further indicated that the sapphire substrate industry has a great production expansion plan for two years, which caused the oversupply situation in the industry. However, it is still difficult to solve the oversupply problem in the short term, if the sapphire substrate capacity is only digested by LED market application. Therefore, non-LED market demand has been generally getting much attention. Observed from every sapphire substrate manufacturer’s expansion plan in 2013, most are increasing capacity for non-LED market application. Generally speaking, mergers and acquisitions still happen in the sapphire substrate industry. With increasing non-LED market demand, there might be chance to see a boom market trend in the sapphire substrate, which had happened in 2010.
