For MBE, Riber and Veeco are the only two players offering large capacity / large throughput MBE production tools for volume manufacturing.
Reportlinker.com expects they will maintain this dominancy. However, there are about ten other MBE manufacturers offering R&D or pilot production systems that also have a strong presence on the general MBE market (DCA, SVT, Eiko among others).
Potential overcapacity in MO precursor supply: The Metal Organic precursor market will also be essentially driven by LED applications. But MOCVD reactor technology improvements ; yield, consumption and wafer size to name but a few, will lower the amount of TMGa and TMIn needed per cm² of epiwafer. The 2010 metal organic shortage ended mid 2011 thanks to aggressive capacity expansion by leading suppliers. Further capacity expansion plans from established and emerging suppliers could come online within the next 3 years. If executed as announced, Reportlinker. com expects significant oversupply starting from 2012 that could continue through 2016 and beyond. This situation could put pressure on prices. Further MO synthesis technology improvements could provide opportunity for cost reductions. However, the usually volatile prices of raw indium and gallium also have a significant impact on cost.
LED market to boom in Asia Pacific region
The American region and the Asia Pacific region (APAC) have an even market share this year. However, the APAC region is forecast to expand at a faster pace
ElectroniCast Consultants has released a new market forecast of the global market consumption of packaged LEDs used in signage and professional displays.
According to the firm’s “ Global Market Review & Forecast (2011-2017) “, the consumption value will increase with rising quantity growth largely offset by declining average prices. Global consumption value LEDs used in signage & professional displays in 2011 was over $1.63 billion, up from $1.5 billion in 2010. In the year 2017, consumption is forecast to

reach $3.3 billion. In terms of consumption value, high brightness (HB) LEDs hold a relative market share of nearly 67 percent for the year 2012.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) Used in Signage & Professional Display Global Market Forecast ($, Billion)
The American region (South, Central and North America) and the Asia Pacific region (APAC) are even in market share (2012). However, the APAC region is forecast to expand at a faster pace.
The Europe, Middle East and African region (EMEA) holds over a 20 percent share of global consumption value in 2012 but is forecast for relatively flat growth for the next few years. This 2011-2017 market review and forecast considers standard-type versus HB-LEDs used in signage and professional displays. HB-LEDs defined by ElectroniCast, are component-level bulbs with a Lumens/Watt rating of 30 lm/W and above. Standard-type LEDs are considered to have a rating of less than 30 lm/W.
This application category covers LEDs that are used in signs and displays. This includes LEDs used in building facades, large outdoor video screens, digital billboards, sport/stadium displays, small indoor retail displays, food displays (restaurants/ supermarkets), signs on taxis and destination signs on mass-transit vehicles, channel-lettering/light- boxes, LED/LCD TV screens (used exclusively for professional purposes), amongst other applications. The market share leader, in terms of volume (the quantity/number of LEDs), are the standard-type LEDs, with over 95 percent in 2012; however, since there is a huge difference in average selling prices between HB-LEDs and standard LEDs, HB-LEDs hold the consumption value leadership position.
The High-Brightness (HB) category also includes Ultra-High Brightness (UHB) LEDs with a Lumen/
