REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Compound semiconductors have captured the attention of researchers,
semiconductor device makers, and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) for
several years on account of their superior physical and chemical attributes in
relation to silicon, the mainstream semiconductor material. The greatest
value that they bring to the table is that of variety and customization. It
is not surprising that compound semiconductors are the prime ingredients of
some of the most complex semiconductor components ever synthesized.
Compound semiconductors occupy important places in the scheme of the
manufacturing of lasers, optical components, light-emitting diodes (LEDs),
filters, mixers, power amplifiers, solar panels, and other devices. The
advantages that compound semiconductors offer are higher operating speed,
lower power consumption, lower noise, higher operating temperature, light
emission/detection, and superior photovoltaic attributes compared to silicon.
Additionally, these attributes change from compound to compound, offering
considerable design flexibility.
On the flip side, the variety of compounds works unfavorably in terms of scale
and consequent pricing. Considering that these materials are pitted against
silicon, the most widely available material with the most refined and
cost-efficient fabrication process, there is a real danger of the competition
being rendered lop-sided in favor of silicon.
However, it is not entirely accurate to compare and confine compound
semiconductors to the benchmarks set by silicon. Compound semiconductors have
a distinct character of their own and they spawn several use-cases of
application that can be catered to only by them. This report is an attempt to
capture the value added by compound semiconductors to the larger semiconductor
component industry. The value is assessed at two levels in the component
manufacturing process: the material stage and the component stage. The
report assesses the value of compound semiconductor material sold to component
manufacturers as well as the value of the components manufactured by these
companies. The focus of the report is on the component, which has a perfect
balance in the unitary nature of its composition and the diverse nature of its
application.
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
This study has the following goals and objectives:
Measuring and forecasting the global market size for compound
semiconductor - based components in value (dollar sales) and volume (shipment
sales) terms.
Breaking down the global compound semiconductor component market along the
following individual components in value and volume terms: lasers and optical
components; LEDs; radio frequency (RF) front end and power amplifier chipsets;
and solar/ photovoltaic (PV) panels and cells.
Breaking down the market for individual compound semiconductor components
along the following end applications in value and volume terms:
telecommunications; instrumentation and scientific research; medicine; energy,
defense, and surveillance; computing and entertainment; industrial and
automotive; retail; and others.
Breaking down the market for individual compound semiconductor components
along the following regions in value and volume terms: the Americas; Europe,
Middle East, and Africa (EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC).
Breaking down the market for individual compound semiconductor components
along the following compound semiconductor families in value and volume terms:
binary II-VI, binary III-V, binary IV-IV, and others.
Breaking down the market for individual compound semiconductor components
along relevant individual compound semiconductors in value terms.
Breaking down the market for individual compound semiconductor components
along the following countries in value and volume terms: U.S., Brazil,
Canada, Mexico, Germany, U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Russia, The Netherlands,
Turkey, China, Japan, India, Indonesia, and South Korea.
Breaking down the market for compound semiconductor materials used in
individual compound semiconductor components along the following compound
semiconductor families in value terms: binary II-VI, binary III-V, binary
IV-IV, and others.
Analyzing the stakeholder landscape in the compound semiconductor
component value chain.
Analyzing the patenting activity involving compound semiconductor
components.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Compound semiconductors provide a welcome departure from the cut-throat
cost-competitive scheme of silicon fabrication. It will not be out of place
to mention that the bulk of innovation on the process and device front is
driven by compound semiconductors and that they occupy a disproportionately
large share of this activity. It is undisputable that compound semiconductors
win hands down in terms of physical and chemical attributes over silicon. It
is equally clear that silicon will continue to enjoy a substantial competitive
advantage in terms of operating scale and availability for the foreseeable
future.
This report aims to provide a quantitative point of view with regard to the
tightrope traversed by compound semiconductors. The report tries to bring out
the quantitative contribution of compound semiconductors to the components
driven by them, in terms of plain bill of materials (BoMs). At the same time,
the report examines the value added by compound semiconductors in qualitative
terms.
Essentially, the report focuses on components, which can be easily quantified
and whose physical attributes can be compared, contrasted, tracked and
analyzed.
Each component has its own dynamics, benefits and challenges with respect to
levels of adoption of compound semiconductors. On a larger note, each
component has its own market momentum dictated by the health of the
end-application verticals as well as relevant macroeconomic factors. When
these aspects are mapped for individual countries, they produce a fascinating
collage of local market conditions that add to the larger picture. This
report provides a granular view of individual country markets in volume and
value terms for 17 key nations spanning all global regions. There are several
variables to be considered: preferred compounds, cost benefits of competing
compounds, entry-level barriers, level of fragmentation, state of innovation,
and attitude of governments in terms of support, as well as future avenues for
market expansion. This report attempts to look at all of these factors and
quantify their impact on the state of the demand for compound semiconductors
and their components.
SCOPE OF THE REPORT
The report measures and forecasts the size of the market in current U.S.
dollars as well as in millions of shipment units for components that contain
compound semiconductors as primary parts. This report also measures and
forecasts dollar sales of compound semiconductor materials from 2012 through
2017.
The report forecasts the market size for the following:
Individual compound semiconductor components such as lasers and optical
components; LEDs; RF power amplifier and front-end chipsets; and solar/PV
cells and panels. It should be noted that in solar panel shipments one square
meter of the panel is considered to be a unit. It also should be noted that
the component market sizes in this report do not reflect the total market for
such components, but only those portions that contain compound semiconductors
as primary parts.
The above forecasts are classified in terms of vertical end applications,
geographical regions, compound semiconductor families, and countries on volume
and value bases; in terms of value chain contributors on a value basis; and in
terms of individual key compound semiconductors on a value basis.
Additionally, the report forecasts the sales of compound semiconductor
family materials for each of the individual compound semiconductor components.
