Abstract

US demand to grow 6+% annually through 2011
The US market for industrial crystals (excluding silicon) will advance more than six percent per year through 2011 and surpass $1.3 billion. Growth will be driven in large part by strong demand for nonlinear optical materials and compound semiconductor substrates in the communications equipment market. Also experiencing strong gains will be the medical, and security and defense markets where technological advances will create new opportunities for growth. Though still healthy, more moderate gains will be experienced in areas such as transportation, oil, gas and mining, and industrial machinery.

Transition metal-based crystals to grow the fastest
With the rapid gains of nonlinear optical crystals in optical applications, transition metal-based crystals will achieve the highest demand going forward. They will be closely followed by semiconducting crystals, which will also achieve rapid growth through 2011. Alkaline and alkaline earth halides, as well as sapphire, will achieve healthy gains, though quartz with its primary use in timing applications will see little growth.
