The Worldwide Market for Optoelectronic Components - 2007 Edition

Abstract

The optoelectronic components market has grown strongly in 2005 and 2006 and is forecast to reach well over $11 billion in 2012. The market is dominated by visible LED lamps. The production of high brightness LEDs and, in particular, high power LEDs (1W+) supports new applications with considerable market potential; such as electronic signs and signals, automotive lighting, backlighting of large screens and general illumination. The wireless IR market is forecast to show growth in IRDA components for cellular terminals. Continued growth is forecast for high speed optocouplers.

These are just a few of the many findings from the latest IMS study on the worldwide market for optoelectronic components. This report examines the worldwide market for selected optoelectronic components split into: visible LED lamps, optocouplers, visible LED displays, optical switches and wireless IR components. The report presents and analyses market revenue forecasts to 2012 for 5 major product groups (further split by technology into 17 product types), split by 3 major geographic regions (further split into 8 sub-regions) and by 7 user sectors. Product and technology developments are discussed.

The main tables are also provided as user sector forecasts split by product type, and the sector market environment is reviewed.

The competitive environment is also analysed with estimates of supplier market shares for 2005 and 2006 given for each of the major product group. A directory of major suppliers of optoelectronic components is included with information on main company activities, optoelectronic activities, company statistics, company facilities, current sales regions and contact details.
