Top 10 Vendors in the Global Sapphire Semiconductor Market from 2016-2020: TechnavioTechnavio has announced the top 10 leading vendors in their recent global sapphire semiconductor market report until 2020. This research report also lists five other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period. Competitive vendor landscape The global sapphire semiconductor market is highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of established manufacturers and a significant number of small and medium-sized enterprises. The market is characterized by the presence of well-diversified global and regional vendors. However, as global players expand their footprint, regional vendors are finding it difficult to compete, especially on aspects such as quality, performance, and price. According to Navin Rajendra, an industry expert at Technavio for embedded systems research, "The competitive environment in this market should intensify with the increase in utilization of sapphire substrates due to increasing government initiatives and funding to promote LED adoption in different countries across the globe."
