DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/l2gbsr/global_sapphire) has announced the addition of the "Global Sapphire Glass Market 2015-2019" report to their offering.

Increased use of sapphire glass to manufacture high-end smart phones is one of the major trends upcoming in the market. Major glass display vendors are likely to evaluate the material for use in their devices in the future. For instance, SCHOTT launched a sapphire glass range for various applications and is evaluating sapphire for smartphone displays. Corning is also evaluating sapphire for incorporating certain properties in its Gorilla Glass range.

According to the report, the global sapphire glass market is to grow at a CAGR of 6.21% in terms of revenue during 2014-2019. There is a rise in production capacities worldwide, especially in China and the US, where small organizations are spearheading the efforts to install new production capacities. Also, large glass vendors such as SCHOTT, Saint-Gobain, and Asahi are increasingly expanding their presence in this business.

High cost of production and fabrication and limited supplies in the market restrict the use of materials to certain high-end applications such as smartphone displays. The continuous fall in smartphone prices is hindering the adoption of the material in smartphone manufacturing.
