The LED industry has entered into a period where penetration rate is rapidly increasing each quarter. Consumers continue to purchase traditional lighting products in large volumes, but distributors have begun reducing the proportion of products for sale. Manufacturers are facing saturated orders and rising lighting order visibility.

San’an Opto to benefit from economies of scale as the LED chip industry becomes an oligopoly

Manufacturers in the LED industry have begun to diversify. Industry leaders such as San’an Optoelectronics (San’an Opto) have constantly reached maximum production and sales. Manufacturers with low production capacity and poor quality products are being absorbed by larger manufacturers or forced to shut down, marking the start of the trend in mergers and acquisitions within the industry. The recent merger of Epistar and FOREPI shows the industry moving into an oligopoly era. With the addition of FOREPI’s MOCVD equipment, Epistar has a total of 500 units and San’an Opto has around 150 units. HC SemiTek currently has around 70 units and is continuing to expand. As the future concentration of the market continues to increase, the scale effect within the industry will become increasingly more noticeable.
