Major trends in the forecast period include advanced quantum dot material engineering, ultra-wide color gamut enhancement, high-brightness and energy-efficient display development, integration of qd technology into mini-led and micro-led backlights, expansion of qd displays across multi-device consumer electronics.

The growing demand for consumer electronics is expected to drive the expansion of the quantum dot (QD) display market in the coming years. Consumer electronics refer to electronic devices designed for personal use, such as smartphones, televisions, and home appliances, which are intended for everyday consumers. The increasing demand for these devices is fueled by technological advancements, rising disposable incomes, and a greater reliance on digital devices in daily life. Quantum Dot (QD) display technology enhances consumer electronics by offering superior color accuracy, brighter visuals, and improved energy efficiency for devices such as smartphones, TVs, and monitors. For example, the Consumer Technology Association, a U.S.-based trade association, projected a 2.8% increase in U.S. retail sales of consumer technology, reaching $512 billion in 2024. Therefore, the rising demand for consumer electronics will drive the growth of the quantum dot (QD) display market.

Companies in the quantum dot (QD) display market are focusing on technologies that reduce waste during production, such as quantum dot (QD) ink recycling technology, which helps lower environmental impact by recycling materials and adopting eco-friendly manufacturing practices. QD ink recycling technology is a process that recovers and reuses unused QD ink from the production of QD-OLED displays, reducing waste and production costs. For instance, in October 2024, Samsung Display, a South Korea-based electronics manufacturer, introduced its Quantum Dot Ink Regeneration Technology to improve the cost efficiency of QD-OLED displays. This technology enables the company to recover and reuse 80% of the QD ink that was previously wasted during the creation of the QD light-emitting layer, a key component of QD-OLED displays. This layer is formed through an inkjet printing process that precisely deposits red and green QD ink via microscopic nozzles. However, about 20% of the ink was unused and discarded. By addressing this inefficiency, Samsung Display's new recycling process is expected to save over KRW 10 billion (approximately $7.3 million) annually, representing a major step toward more sustainable and cost-effective display manufacturing.
