It includes the latest data on capital and equipment spending, fab capacity, sales rankings of Chinese LED manufacturers, and other valuable information. The report also includes an update on the subsidy incentives for China fab projects, an update on new LED fab projects, an overview of Chinese sapphire wafer suppliers, and company profiles of the leading Chinese manufacturers.

The company notes that LED production investments have rapidly escalated in China. From 2010 to 2012, SEMI forecasts GaN epitaxial wafer production capacity will grow over 300 percent to 1,282,000 wafers per month (2-inch equivalents) with MOCVD tool installations growing from a cumulative total 323 tools in 2010 to over 1000 tools by the end 2012. Ten new sapphire substrate projects (a market currently dominated by non-Chinese suppliers) have been announced, which will capitalize on this growth.
