Global Demand for LED Sapphire Substrate will Surge

According to statistics, due to the large number of LED manufacturers continue to march to the upstream demand for MOCVD equipment rapid expansion , equipment purchases only 2011 Asia-Pacific region it is expected to sudden break 1000, by conduction, global demand for LED sapphire substrate will surge , about the relationship between supply and demand will gradually emerge sapphire substrate .

in the current substrate technology , the sapphire substrate overwhelmingly occupy the mainstream . Nichia , Toyoda Gosei sapphire substrate technology is the use of large LED enterprises , CREE use a silicon carbide substrate , silicon carbide because of its master mature generation technology , thus creating a dominant in its field of silicon carbide situation. For most businesses , the choice of a sapphire substrate with a mature technology was superior to cost less silicon carbide technology , which is both cost-effective sapphire substrate reason to seize the market , but also SiC and GaN substrate is not large-scale development reasons.

2010 years, backlight plate is pulling sapphire substrate demand absolute power , which , mobile phones, monitors, LCD TVs and other sectors of the shipped directly stimulating the demand sapphire substrate , with the gradual increase in penetration , the growth trend of a gradual slowdown in the mobile space , followed by a large sapphire substrate demand will be reflected in the massive demand for LCD TVs , and enter 12 month , " flat-panel TV energy efficiency of limited value and energy efficiency rating" will be implemented , which gives the demand for LED LCD TV opens up a new breakthrough.

According to the " 2010-2015 China 's semiconductor lighting (LED) industry investment analysis and forecast report " shows that in 2010 the overall backlight grains accounted for 48% of total demand , which means that the demand for sapphire substrate should be as high as 3.5 million . LED lighting penetration of 1% each , will directly boost the sapphire substrate 1,070,000 of the increase in demand , if global reach 50 % penetration , will form the incremental demand for sapphire substrates 53,500,000 's .

Demand downstream electronics market will becoming increasingly intense , so demand will lead to large-scale manufacturers continue to increase production capacity to meet market demand, but due to the high barriers to entry in the industry , in the short-term shortage situation , prices will inevitably rise significantly , which has been reflected in the first half of 2010 , under the double impact of rising prices and demand for existing manufacturers will significant profit.
