SUMMARY
This new report, brought to you jointly by NanoMarkets and CIR, analyzes the
world wide market for high brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs). Although there have been
recent rumors of industry maturity in this sector recently, our new study
finds that HB-LEDs continue to grow rapidly, both in terms of revenues and in
terms of new applications. This report is geared to the needs of both managers
and investors who must understand the future prospects for the HB-LED markets
and where the emerging business opportunities are to be found. Among the areas
on which this report provides in-depth guidance are the following:
- Key design and manufacturing improvements that are enabling HB-LED
manufacturers to distinguish themselves in the market and improve yields
- The impact of new materials platforms such as quantum dots and silicon
photonics for the HB-LED market
- Emerging applications in signage, intelligent transport systems, rural
lighting and dentistry and how HB-LEDs are enabling entirely new kinds of
products to be designed and manufactured
- The changing geography of HB-LED markets. In which part of the world are
HB-LEDs being bought? In which parts of the world are they being manufactured?
- Strategies and structure. In this report, we critically appraise the
strategies of the major HB-LED manufacturers including their manufacturing and
outsourcing strategies and ask the questions -- is there room for start-ups in
HB-LEDs anymore? And will there be consolidation in the HB-LED business?
CIR has been tracking the optoelectronics business for more than two decades
while NanoMarkets has produced over a dozen reports that offer a unique
perspective on the impact of new materials on electronics and semiconductor
markets. This report was based on interviews conducted by an international
team carrying out interviews on three continents and will be invaluable
reading for manufacturers of electronics and lighting products of all kinds as
well as the HB-LED manufacturers themselves -- and, of course, investors. The
report includes detailed forecasts broken out by type of product and
application.
