December 3, 2010...IMS Research reports that Nichia remains at number one, with Samsung LED, Seoul Semiconductor and Cree growing faster than average in 2010. Although the LED TV backlighting boom has temporarily fallen in the early part of the 4th quarter of 2010 due to supply chain corrections, IMS Research says that 2010 was still a year of tremendous growth in the LED industry. The company says that the market for LEDs (including all types: (standard, AlInGaP, and InGaN) has grown from $6.1 billion in 2009 to about $10.0 billion in 2010, driven by economic recovery, lighting and TV and monitor backlights. This means that suppliers are having to grow by 64% this year just to maintain their market share.
According to IMS Research, Nichia is still the number one supplier by total revenue in 2009 and 2010; however, it will be challenged strongly by Samsung LED in 2011. Samsung LED reportedly now has the capacity to take the number one position. IMS Research predicts that increasing demand for LED TVs from Q2 2011 onwards should enable Samsung to take the number one position.
