DUBLIN, Feb. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The Global Market for Quantum Dots" report to their offering.

The global market for quantum dots (QD) has witnessed significant growth in the past 12 months and its growth potential is considerable in the next decade. There are now more than 50 companies developing QD materials and applications and QD producer QD Vision recently closed a $22 million funding round on the back of growing demand for wide colour gamut technologies.

A number of quantum dot producers have developed scalable solution production processes and are partnering with multi-national OEMs to use QDs in displays for tablets and high-end TVs. They have collaborated with companies such as Sony, 3M, Amazon, Hisense and ASUS to bring QD-enabled display devices to market in the past 18 months. According to numerous producers, at the the QD material and component level there is a potential $5-$10 billion revenue opportunity in lighting and displays. Penetration in sector such as solar, security, thermoelectrics and magnetics could double these revenues.

Samsung Electronics has witnessed significant market return from QD-TVs and recently announced investment in developing beyond OLED Quantum Dot LED (QLED) TVs and new initiatives in semiconductors and bio products, under a dedicated R&D unit. LG Display, the main producer of OLED TVs, is expanding its cooperation with QD material manufacturers Nanoco, Nanosys and QD Vision in a project to research new applications of QDs and QLED TVs.
