The market for cadmium-free quantum dots to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Many quantum dot manufacturers are switching from toxic cadmium-based quantum dot devices to cadmium-free quantum dot devices. This act is in accordance with restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) directive in electrical and electronic equipment. Cadmium-free quantum dots offer a safer and more sustainable alternative for manufacturers and consumers, by providing them with all the major benefits associated with the technology without the risk associated with toxicity or potential regulatory limitations due to the use of cadmium. Cadmium-free quantum dots are not only suited for displays, but also applications such as lighting solutions, solar cells, and biomedicine.
The market for displays is estimated to account for the largest share between 2021 and 2026 in quantum dot market
Quantum dots are being extensively used by display manufacturers to offer the best quality displays in the market. Quantum dot displays have a narrow spectrum, high stability and low power consumption. Hence, they are being extensively used by display manufacturers globally. Quantum dots are incorporated into wide range of display applications such as, flat-panel TV screens, digital cameras, smartphones, gaming consoles, and personal digital assistant (PDA) devices. LEDs with quantum dot luminophores is an emerging technology with high potential in the display ecosystem. As a result, the display devices are expected to dominate the quantum dot market during the forecast period.
Quantum dot market in the Asia Pacific region is expected to witness a robust growth during 2021-2026
