Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Market Opportunities for Quantum Dots 2015-2022" report to their offering.
This report believes that opportunities for commercial use of quantum dots (QDs) have changed dramatically in the past year, and this, our most recent report on QDs, identifies where the money will be made as the a result of these new trends and developments.
QDs have now exploded onto the commercial display market and are appearing in displays of all sizes, enabling LCDs with greater color gamut and lower power consumption. These QD-enhanced LCDs are already providing direct competition to OLED displays, raising the question of whether OLED displays will ever take off in the way that was once hoped. At the same time the report suggests that ability of the QD makers to supply sufficient materials to support future growth is no longer an issue.
As a result of these trends, the granular eight-year forecasts of volume shipments and revenue generated contained in this report reflect growing bullishness about QDs. We have also considered how the QD supply chain is likely to change as the competition between QD suppliers to get the attention of major OEMs increases.
Most of the revenue generation from QDs will come from the display industry for the next few years. This is where the money is, and although 2014 saw the introduction of several QD-enhanced LCDs by a number of OEMs, QDs have still penetrated only a very small portion of the LCD market as yet.
This report discusses opportunities in QDs for companies throughout the supply chain - from QD suppliers to LED component makers to OEMs - and predicts how moves by these companies will affect the growth of the QD industry. We also look at the state of QD technology and what improvements will be needed to enable further growth.
