The development trend of LED chip industry in 2018

Foreword

Since 2016, the LED industry has been in a period of rapid development, and by 2018, a new pattern has emerged. Throughout the entire LED industry chain, we can see that the LED chip field is the high-margin link of the LED industry chain.

Domestic major LED chip companies have expanded their production, domestic LED chips will have overcapacity problems, chip prices will turn downwards, foreign LED chip manufacturers will be more cautious in expansion, supply growth is limited, China LED chip factory Ao Yangshun Chang, Huacan Optoelectronics, Sanan Optoelectronics, etc., relying on the support policies of local governments, relying on the advantages of capital and scale to actively expand production, the global LED chip production capacity has gradually shifted to mainland China.

LED chip market size in 2018

In 2016, LED chip giant Jingyuan Optoelectronics shut down 25% of Blu-ray chip production capacity, LED chip supply and demand relationship changed, LED chip industry began to pick up in the second half of 2016, with the outbreak of small-pitch LED market and LED chip downstream packaging in 2017 The expansion of the industry has led to a certain gap in the supply of LED chips. The output rate of LED chip companies in China is close to 100%, and the output value of LED chips in China has maintained rapid growth.

The data shows that in 2017, China's LED chips (excluding Taiwan, the same below) industry output value reached 18.8 billion yuan, an increase of 29.7% compared with 2016, accounting for 40% of the global LED chip production value; China's MOCVD possession of more than 1,600 units, all The net increase was 246 units per year, and the LED chip production capacity accounted for more than 54% of the global total.

It is estimated that China's MOCVD machines will continue to increase by 288 units to 2,200 units in 2018. With the expansion of domestic LED chip companies, domestic LED chips will have overcapacity problems, and chip prices will turn downwards. The growth rate of chip output will slow down. It is expected that the output value of China's LED chips will reach 22.5 billion yuan in 2018, up 19.7% year-on-year. The market share of the top three companies will reach 47.8%.

China's share in the global LED chip market is gradually increasing

LED chip prices are gradually decreasing

After years of development, the price of LED chips has been reduced by the improvement of light efficiency. The cost of chip production mainly includes variable cost and fixed cost. The variable cost includes about 65% of substrate, metal organic reaction source and gas, and fixed cost includes depreciation and other about 35%.

The improvement of manufacturers' technology has led to the improvement of LED light efficiency. The number of chips that can be cut on the epitaxial wafer per unit area has increased, the cost of chips has decreased, and the price of chips has also decreased year by year.

LED chip industry pattern changes

According to statistics, in 2016, the market size of China's LED chip industry exceeded RMB 14.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 11.54%. From the second half of 2016 to 2017, prices stopped falling and rose steadily. With the increase in production capacity of mainland China manufacturers and the gap between technology and Taiwan, the advantages of price, delivery time and market response are obvious. From 2008 to 2016, the national output of LED chips has increased from 50% to 80%. It reached 10.6 billion yuan and imports were 3.3 billion yuan. Due to the obvious price/performance advantage of mainland chip manufacturers, the export ratio has also increased. The export rate in 2015 was 8.1%, and in 2016 it was increased to 9.6%.

China LED chip industry output value (100 million yuan)

The market share of the top ten global manufacturers has increased from 66.1% in 2010 to 85.3% in 2017. The production capacity of mainland LED chips is concentrated in Sanan Optoelectronics and Huacan Optoelectronics. In addition to Osram, there are still plans to expand production of foreign companies. Other manufacturers have no plans to expand production. Most of China's local chip manufacturers have been unable to expand production and gradually withdraw their production capacity. competition. Although Zhaochi has launched a new LED chip project, the impact on the market in the short term is still very limited.

Increased capacity concentration of mainland chip factories

It is expected that Sanan Optoelectronics, Huacan Optoelectronics and Aoyang Shunchang will occupy 71% of mainland LED chip production capacity in 2018.

LED chip industry development trend

In recent years, due to the government's policy support and intensive investment in R&D of enterprises, and with the participation of a large number of LED industry technology experts and teams from Taiwan and South Korea to join local enterprises, the average technical level of domestic LED epitaxial chip companies has developed rapidly and has reached International advanced level.

Reducing epitaxy and chip cost is critical to promoting LED applications. In recent years, researchers have started from new technologies, new structures, and new technologies, and through technology innovation, have continuously reduced the cost of epitaxy and chip production. The cost of a white LED package will drop from $25/klm in 2009 to $0.7/klm in 2020. The ultimate goal of LED cost is $0.5/klm, and the average annual cost is down by more than 30%.

In addition to luminous efficiency and unit cost, in LED display, backlight and other applications, LED chip's light decay, brightness, color consistency and anti-static ability are also key technical indicators for LED applications.

Although the expansion of several major manufacturers alone is amazing, the overall capacity expansion is relatively limited (145%), and the new large-cavity machines such as Veeco's Red Bull, AMD's A7 and some Axitron's R6 are considered. After the main models, the K465i, CRUIS2 and earlier models gradually withdrew from the market, the overall market supply was more concentrated, and the capacity growth rate was lower than expected.

In addition, the local government's MOCVD equipment subsidies are relatively more concentrated. Unlike the earlier patterns of rain and dew, local governments are now more inclined to choose companies that have proven to have good operational and management capabilities in market economy competition.

The intensity of subsidies also needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis based on the strength of the company and the ability to negotiate, while companies with superior industry status and good taxability are in a better position to bargain with local governments.

From the perspective of supply structure, because the expansion schedule and range of Sanan's 2017-2018 is only slightly higher than the expansion rate of the whole industry, compared with Huacan and Australia, although the absolute number of expansion is not small. Ocean, the expansion of production seems too conservative.

The supply structure of the LED chip industry has lost the opportunity to transform into a structure similar to the semiconductor foundry industry, and may gradually form a three-pronged pattern similar to the DRAM memory industry. In contrast, assuming that CR3 is equal, the three-legged structure lacks stability, and the competitive strength is higher than one super-strong and higher than the duopoly structure.

With a profitability of nearly 75% of the industry's profits, Sanan, the industry leader, has the strength to sacrifice some of its profit-management capacity deterrence strategy, forcing potential entrants (Zhaochi) and forcing competitors (Hua Can, Aoyang Shunchang) ) A more cautious expansion.

Although the LED chip industry's several oligarchs will not be blatantly share the output in a formal agreement, but the increasing industry concentration, coupled with the demand for price elasticity of LED chips, will force companies to It is also easy to reach a tacit agreement, and actively limit production and insured.

In short, the LED chip market in 2018 will not have a monopoly monopoly pricing, so it is difficult to maintain a high gross profit situation, but there is a high probability that it will not collapse again like 2015. The level of tacit understanding and cooperation between the three oligarchs will become a key factor in determining the price trend of LED chips in 2018. However, the tripoly structure has natural instability, and a new game model is still being formed.
