Market prospect and analysis of global LED production equipment in 2019

According to a new report from Technavio, the global market for LED production equipment will exceed $1.5 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate of 5%. At present, the demand of LED production equipment is mainly affected by the explosion of manufacturing plants in the asia-pacific region. 

 

"Based on LED increasing demand in the asia-pacific region, Taiwan and the mainland companies to establish LED fabs, LED production equipment market demand is strong in 2014. However, forecast period LED production equipment market growth will only fluctuated. LED production equipment market fluctuated as the main factors: the front-end equipment product life cycle for 5 to 7 years, reducing the speed of the global new LED fabs establish." Lead semiconductor equipment research analyst Sunil Kumar said. 

 

In the front and back end of the LED production equipment market, the back-end domain occupies the largest market share of 62%. Given the jump in global LED manufacturers, the market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9% in the forecast period. 2014 LED production equipment in the world market occupies 86% market share in the asia-pacific region, is expected to predict phase within the asia-pacific region will continue to lead the LED production equipment market, market share is expected to reach 88% in 2019. 

 

LED and LED panel manufacturers in the asia-pacific region have a high growth potential in the asia-pacific region, given the presence of most LED manufacturers. Most of the market growth in the asia-pacific region comes from Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and China. 

 

Technavio hardware and semiconductor research analysts have identified three growth factors in the LED manufacturing market: LED demand surges; Supply chain enhancement; Reduce cost strategy. 

 

LED demand surge 

 

Leds are alternatives to traditional sources such as incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps and halogen lamps. Compared with traditional light source, LED has high luminous effect, which promotes the need of general lighting application LED. In addition, LCD backlight units are adopting leds, which have also contributed to the development of the LED market. As leds are integrated into automotive applications, high demand is also being seen in automotive LED markets. 

 

Supply chain enhancement 

 

Since the establishment of the LED supply chain has undergone drastic changes, the supply chain began to restructure in 2010, including upstream, middle and downstream supply chains. A key element of a strong supply chain is the vertical integration of leading manufacturers, such as krui, philips and osram, which control the main parts of the value chain. 

 

"Based on inventory levels and the manufacturing cost control, the establishment of a strong supply chain will increase the manufacturer‘s profit. Strong supply chains will be conducive to the LED manufacturers to reduce the LED manufacturing costs, which in turn will promote the LED application in multiple areas." Sunil Kumar says. 

 

Cost reduction strategy 

 

High costs are a bottleneck in LED market growth, forcing manufacturers to focus on reducing LED costs. The key to realizing LED low cost is low cost manufacturing and adopting advanced production technology. The development of production process will also drive the development of LED production equipment. According to the report, the suppliers of metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system mainly include aixtron, WACO instrument and dayang day acid. The TurboDisc MaxBright MHP GaN MOCVD MHP GaN MOCVD multi-reactor system can increase the yield of yield by 20% and increase the coverage efficiency by 15%. In addition, you can reduce the cost by increasing the size of the LED extension.
