Philips (NYSE:PHG) Taiwan President Edward Po predicts LED industry leaders like Cree Inc (NASDAQ:CREE), Rubicon Technology, Inc (NASDAQ:RBCN), SemiLEDs Corporation (NASDAQ:LEDS), and Veeco Instruments Inc. (NASDAQ:VECO) are in for more tough times. Although Po expects 30%-40% Y/Y growth in 2011 for the LED lighting market, he foresees that price pressure caused by oversupply will set off a wave of industry consolidation that will start in 2012 and last 3-4 years.
