The Langasite market is projected to increase at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period of 2024 to 2032. The creation of laser devices, surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices, bulk acoustic wave (BAW) devices, high-efficiency broadband frequency devices, and other types of electronic devices all make extensive use of langasite, which is one of the most common types of radio frequency devices. It is anticipated that the size of the global langasite market would expand significantly over the course of the aforementioned forecast period, primarily as a result of its extensive usage in surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and radio frequency devices. Because of its relatively low price and excellent performance, optical grade langasite is one of the grades that account for the greatest volume of the material.
Devices that detect surface acoustic waves and are based on the mineral langasite are quite common in the energy sector. In order to acquire a competitive edge in the langasite market scenario, it is anticipated that key companies would prioritize the expansion of their product portfolios and investments in research & development of surface acoustic wave sensing devices. In addition, it is anticipated that major market players will contemplate entering into mergers and acquisitions with regional market players in order to increase their presence around the world.
Increase in Supplication for Langasite (LGS) Devices that Are Based on Surface Acoustic Waves (SAWs) in the Energy Sector
Acoustic surface wave sensors are capable of measuring atomic and molecular information with high precision (such as temperature, stress, and gas density). Because of its diminutive dimensions, the surface wave device belongs to the emerging generation of wireless and compact sensors. In addition to this, it has a high level of compatibility with integrated circuits and finds widespread application in the field of simulated digital communication as well as sensing.
On an LGS (0°, 138.5°, 72°) substrate with platinum gratings, a high-temperature SAW sensor with linear frequency–temperature behavior in the range of 60 °C to 700 °C was created using a photolithography and lift-off procedure. This sensor measures temperatures ranging from 60 °C to 700 °C. The temperature sensitivity of the sensor's second- and third-order resonances are comparable to one another, despite the fact that the sensor only has a single acoustic mode (the Rayleigh mode).
Because the power equipment operates under high voltages, heavy loads, and for extended periods of time without being powered on, the requirements for the temperature measuring device are naturally more stringent. In order to guarantee the security of power equipment, the vicinity of high-voltage power equipment that is functioning must have a distribution of strong electric fields, and the sensor that detects temperature must be able to function either passively or independently.
The Expansion of The Langasite Market Will Be Driven by The Rising Demand for Radio Frequency Devices.
Langasite (LGS) was initially developed as a laser crystal; however, it revealed a remarkable combination of piezoelectric qualities, which opened up new opportunities to use the LGS crystal in radio frequency devices. Langasite was initially developed as a laser crystal; however, it revealed these piezoelectric qualities.
Wireless sensor networks, often known as WSNs, are a type of sensor system that is spatially distributed and used to collect accurate data from a vast region of interest. Because of its need for a consistent and substantial amount of power, WSN is typically implemented in areas that are not connected to the public power grid. This makes wider implementation difficult. Energy harvesting has been acknowledged as a viable approach and has received a significant amount of attention over the past several years due to the fact that it enables wireless sensor networks (WSN) to operate in a self-sustainable manner.
Radiofrequency (RF) harvesters offer outstanding advantages over other sources of ambient solar energy, such as solar, acoustic, and mechanical vibration harvesters. One of these advantages is that RF harvesters can collect energy at a much higher frequency. Because of its numerous advantageous qualities, such as dependability, predictability, controllability, and the capacity to simultaneously supply energy to a variety of nodes, RF energy harvesting technology has become the option of choice for a number of contexts and uses.
Devices that operate on radio frequencies find applications in a wide variety of fields, including the medical field, the energy sector, and the automobile sector. The expansion of the langasite market is expected to be driven mostly by major radio frequency-based devices with Langasite (LGS).
There is a Strong Preference for Langasite Crystals of Optical Grade
One of the most important subcategories of the langasite market is the optical grade, and it is projected that this subcategory's market shares will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 6.4% over the course of the forecast period. The investigation is being done in-depth on the conditions under which LGS crystals can develop. LGS crystals of optical quality, as opposed to crystals with piezoelectric quality, have been generated in sizes greater than 50 millimeters. These crystals can be used in an EO Q-switch if the conditions are right. The core component of the formed crystal was determined to be a collection of bands of dislocations based on X-ray topography, and optical microscopic investigations were used to confirm this determination for LGS samples.
APAC Remains as the Global Leader
Asia Pacific held 35% of the global revenue share in the year 2023. As a result of an increase in the utilization of surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices in a variety of end-use industries including energy and automotive, it is anticipated that Asia Pacific will provide leading players with significant langasite business opportunities over the course of the forecast period. Asia and the Pacific in terms of value. In 2023, Europe held a market share of 25%, making it an appealing region within the overall business. The massive expansion seen across the region can be largely attributed to Germany and the country's increasing level of investment in the electronics sector. It is anticipated that the markets in Latin America and Middle East & Africa would rise at a modest pace.
Market Consolidation to Limit the New Entrants
There are only a handful of prominent players commanding the majority of the share in the worldwide langasite market, which contributes to the market's high level of consolidation. The majority of businesses are making large investments in research and development projects that are comprehensive, primarily with the goal of developing products that are friendlier to the environment. The adoption of important strategies, such as the expansion of product portfolios and mergers and acquisitions, is common among prominent players. The most important companies that are currently active in this industry are Fomos-Materials, Wallson Industrial Co., Ltd., Stanford Advanced Materials, and ANHUI CRYSTRO CRYSTAL MATERIALS Co., Ltd.
