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.

The demand for Quantum Dots applications are growing at a very fast pace across the globe.
The Global Quantum Dots market is also witnessing increasing applications in biology and
Displays. The market however is going face a challenge due to high cost with 5grams costing
almost $200. Solid State Lighting is expected to be the major market occupying almost 70% of
the market by 2020.

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.

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.
