TechNavio today launched its report Global Quantum Dots Market 2012-2016 based on an in-depth analysis covering the Americas, and the EMEA and APAC regions. The report aims to aid decision makers’ understanding of the present and future landscape of the market.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s Hardware team said: ”Current and identified future applications of quantum dots have a positive influence on a broad range of industrial markets. Quantum dots find application in biology and biomedicine; computing and memory; electronics and displays; optoelectronic devices such as LEDs, solid-state lighting, and lasers; optical components for telecom purposes; and products used for security applications such as identification tagging or bio-warfare detection sensors.”
According to the report, it has been found that quantum dots increase the efficiency of solar cells by 4.5 percent. The adoption of quantum dots by solar panel manufacturers is increasing because of the reduction in the cost of quantum dots. This fact is expected to contribute significantly to the revenue of the Global Quantum Dots market during the forecast period.
Further, the report discusses that the toxicity of quantum dots is a major challenge to the growth of the Global Quantum Dots market. Mercaptoacetic acid, used in the coatings for quantum dots and cadmium and selenium ions, used in the core are generally cytotoxic, i.e., poisonous to living cells. Thus, the dissolution of the quantum dot’s coatings and core can be toxic. Moreover, the erosion of the shell of quantum dots may cause undesirable reactions in human cells. These factors could reduce the adoption of quantum dots for medical purposes.
