The rapid increase in the market for LEDs used in applications such as notebook backlights and automobile headlights is also spurring heavy capital investments by LED makers, the market research firm notes. LEDs are hence creating a niche market for conventional suppliers of semiconductor processing tools and a lucrative market for suppliers of metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) reactors. UV CuringShipments of high-brightness LEDs (HB-LEDs) will grow from less than 100 billion in 2010 to nearly 135 billion units in 2011, forecasts The Information Network. In addition, shipments of LEDs for backlight units (BLU-LEDs) will grow from 20 billion to 30 billion units. Together, LED shipments will grow from 120 billion to 165 billion units. In 2010, Nichia led the market with a 15% share (down from 16% in 2009). Samsung LED rocketed to second place with a 10.5% share (up from 6.5% in 2009). Cree was in fifth place with a 6% share in 2010, followed by LumiLEDs at 5.5% (in 2009, their market shares were reversed).
