EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Quantum Dots are nanocrystals made from semiconductor materials which are unique material slowly penetrating different fields in optoelectronic and photovoltaics. The global quantum dots market is expected to increase from just around $235m in 2013 to around $2.85bn by 2018. Quantum dots have an inverse relation with respect to their size and band gap and this result in their key optical property of change in color. As the dot size decreases, the color of light emitted changes from red to blue. Quantum dots though commercialized in almost areas but the products are yet to be released in the market due to the high costs and mass production limitations. This is slowly expected to change and QD based products are expected to reach the market soon. The Quantum Dots equipment and services market is slated to grow at 64.7% CAGR for the next five years. The market is estimated to reach $2.85bn by 2018.

FIGURE:5 GLOBAL QUANTUM DOTS MARKET REVENUE, 2013-2018 ($M)

Source: IndustryARC Analysis Innovative applications are taking life each passing day for Quantum Dots which is driving the market. The quantum dots market is extensively researched with many small manufacturers selling these directly to the researchers who are using the particle to develop new and innovative products and licensing new patents. Nanoco partnered with a Japanese LED manufacturer to produce LEDs for home lightning and other purposes. Samsung is working on a quantum dot prototype to replace LED and OLED. Quantum dots only use one fifth of the power compared to LED and they are brighter than OLED with longer life span and cost half as much. This report focuses on major applications of QD like solid state lighting, displays and solar cells because all 3 markets are mature segments and further growth can occur from a disruptive technology only. QD is the technology which can chapter the next growth phase of all three segments in the opinion of IndustryARC. The market has been segmented by geography as North America, Europe, Asia, and Rest of the World (RoW). Market size and forecast is provided for each of these regions. A detailed qualitative analysis of the factors responsible for driving and restraining growth of the Quantum Dots market and future opportunities are provided in the report. The report contains the most detailed and in-depth segmentation of the Quantum dots market in SSL, solar cells and displays applications.

KEY MARKET INSIGHTS The global quantum dots market has been segmented and opportunities analyzed based on the type of products like solar cells, solid state lighting and displays. Other applications like biology, photodetectors, computing are also analyzed in the report. IndustryARC expects this market to grow on the back of recent breakthroughs from R&D of public and private companies along with universities. Optoelectronics application holds the majority share of more than 50% currently in the

overall market revenues and is also the fastest growing segment.

Biology, healthcare and photovoltaics are the other promising segments which have high demand use case scenarios based on the successful commercialization of quantum dots.

Tetrapod quantum dots are being supplied by Quantum Materials to an Asian OEM for manufacture of LCD displays.

LG and QD Vision have partnered in 2010 to produce QD based televisions, but they are yet to reach the market in 2013 as announced.

Nanosys recently announced the 2000th kg shipment of quantum dot concentrate which is used in Quantum Dot Enhancement Film. 3M also has recently demoed a TV screen with this technology.
