'Quantum Dots (QD)' is the latest and the most advanced part of semiconductor nanoparticles, which, currently, are at the pre-commercialized stage. Due to their miniature property they are highly versatile and flexible and the uniqueness of the QD material lays in the fact that its power intensity depends on the input source and size of QD. One of the major segments that have been developing in the field of quantum display is QD Displays (QDD)'. A QD display is a type of display technology providing better features as compared to Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). This technology is similar to Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) that provides more efficient displays. QDD provides 50 to 100 times better brightness in comparison to the CRT display and LCD. LCD does not produce a pure green, red, and blue color. On the other hand, Quantum Dots Display produces pure colors.

QD LED and QDD are expected to get fully commercialized by the end of 2015-16, as there are strong R&D activities going on in this field, and in solid-state lighting. However, companies have launched QD LED lamp; but the current market for QD LED lamp and the other lighting products is very small. QD-based lighting will be the best replacement for the currently available CFL and LED lighting, as it provides better efficiency and high power intensity. QD solar cells and panels will be the biggest revolution in the field of solar energy, and they are expected to be fully commercialized by 2016-17.

Healthcare industry is one of the key areas of QD technology. There are numerous applications in the biomedical and biotechnology field that are already being exposed to QD technology and; hence, it accounts for the largest percentage of the Quantum Dots market, on the whole. Applications in biomedical and biotechnology fields are expected to increase as and when the technology progresses.

At present, on the basis of the geographical analysis, the Americas is the market leader followed by Europe, and APAC. Americas also leads in terms of patents filing, as it is the largest base for QD companies and research institutes. The companies, currently, involved in Quantum Dots technology market are QD Vision (U.S.), Nanoco Technologies (U.K.), Nanosys (U.S.), Life Technologies (U.S.), Ocean Nanotech (U.S.), Evident Technologies (U.S.), and others.
