Global Quantum Dots Market - Analysis, Technologies & Forecasts to 2021 - Growing Interest in Cadmium-free Quantum Dots - Research and Markets

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Quantum Dots Market 2017-2021" report to their offering.

The global quantum dots market to grow at a CAGR of 120.84% during the period 2017-2021.

The report, Global Quantum (News - Alert) Dots Market 2017-2021, has been prepared based on an in-depth market analysis with inputs from industry experts. The report covers the market landscape and its growth prospects over the coming years. The report also includes a discussion of the Key vendors operating in this market.

According to the report, binary compounds such as cadmium selenide, cadmium sulfide, cadmium telluride, and indium arsenide are popular compounds that are used to make quantum dots. In 2014, cadmium selenide was the most commonly used material to produce quantum dots. Quantum dots that are produced from the above material contain cadmium, which is toxic.

Global environmental regulations such as RoHS (restriction o hazardous substances), REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals), and TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) have kept the limitation on the amount of cadmium, mercury, and lead that can be used in consumer electronic devices. This has resulted in an increase in the production of cadmium-free quantum dots, which has provided ample opportunity for quantum dots to be used in a variety of consumer electronic display devices.
