North American Optoelectronics Market

The introduction of true blue and green light emitting diodes (LEDs) in the late 1990s has opened up a range of new applications for visible LEDs (VLEDs). High brightness blue and green colors will find new uses in automotive, signage, and video display applications. Manufacturers of video displays used in sports arenas and outdoor venues, for example, will switch from less reliable incandescent bulb displays to LEDs that use blue and green. This Frost & Sullivan report analyzes the markets for LEDs, optoelectronic isolators, photodetectors, and laser diodes. By evaluating market drivers and restraints and by targeting emerging opportunities, this report offers its users an important tool for industry success.

Greater Investments in Research and Development Essential for Success

"Optoelectronics manufacturers are being called on by communications OEMs to shrink the size of their products to better accommodate consumers' desires for compact, portable devices," says the report's author. To develop smaller packages with high performance, manufacturers will need to dramatically increase their research and development spending.

"Only those optoelectronics manufacturers that have the financial and personnel resources to juggle size considerations with bandwidth requirements will be successful in the market," says the author. This report tracks end-user demands and provides strategic recommendations, helping your firm best meet customer needs and maximize market gains.

Fiber Optics Show Great Potential

"The key opportunity for growth in the market right now is the fiber optic industry," writes the author. The continuing telecommunications boom is spurring demand for all products in the optoelectronics sector. Photodetectors and laser diodes used to form fiber optic modules will see strong demand.

Optoelectronics manufacturers are rapidly trying to expand capacity to meet the needs of the burgeoning industry. Participants will need to minimize the time-to-market for optoelectronic products to realize the full potential of these markets. This report pinpoints the drivers and challenges that participants will face, enabling you plan effective revenue generating strategies for the future.
