REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
•Global sales from compound semiconductor components totaled nearly $25.5 billion in 2011 and
should surpass $27 billion in 2012. Total sales are expected to reach nearly $47.5 billion in 2017
after increasing at a five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.9%.
•The Americas are expected to have sales worth nearly $5.2 billion in 2012 and $8.8 billion in
2017, a CAGR of 11.4%.
•EMEA should have sales totaling nearly $8.5 billion in 2012 and nearly $16.4 billion in 2017, a
CAGR of 14%.

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

•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.
following regions in value and volume terms: the Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa
(EMEA); and Asia Pacific (APAC).

individual compound semiconductors in value terms.
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.
