Global Core–Shell Quantum Dots Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Core–Shell Quantum Dots market size is expected to reach $ 608 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 6.7% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
Core-shell quantum dots (CSQDs) are semiconductor nanoparticles with a core of one material surrounded by a shell of another, designed to boost the performance of standard quantum dots (QDs) by passivating surface defects, enhancing stability, and improving light emission (photoluminescence) for applications like LEDs, solar cells, and bioimaging. The shell, typically a wider bandgap material like ZnS around a CdSe core (e.g., CdSe/ZnS), confines excited electrons in the core, leading to brighter, more stable fluorescence and tunable colors.
Global production of core-shell quantum dots is projected to reach 37.7 tons in 2025, with an average price of $10 per gram. Gross profit margins typically range from 45% to 70%.
The upstream of the core-shell quantum dot industry chain mainly includes metal precursors and chemical raw materials such as sulfides and selenides, high-purity organic ligands and solvents, as well as auxiliary materials required for reaction and purification. The purity, particle size control capability, and batch consistency of upstream raw materials directly affect the luminous efficiency and stability of quantum dots. The downstream is the core of industry value release, with applications concentrated in display and lighting, bio-imaging and in vitro diagnostics, sensing and detection, and novel optoelectronic devices, among which the display industry accounts for the majority of demand. Downstream display panel and terminal manufacturers pay close attention to luminous efficiency, color purity, lifespan, and environmental stability when procuring. In television and monitor applications, they emphasize compatibility with existing backlighting and packaging systems and long-term reliability, while in bio-imaging and diagnostics, they prioritize fluorescence stability, biosafety, and regulatory compliance. As quantum dot displays develop towards larger sizes and higher-end features, downstream customers are increasingly demanding greater supply stability and large-scale delivery capabilities.
The industry development trend is characterized by an accelerated evolution towards cadmium-free or low-toxicity systems, continuous optimization of core-shell structures to improve quantum efficiency and anti-aging performance, and an expansion of application scenarios from displays to sensing, optical communication, and quantum information-related fields. Key driving factors include the continued demand for high color gamut and high brightness in high-end displays, upgrades in next-generation display technologies, advancements in bio-imaging and detection technologies, and downstream manufacturers' pursuit of differentiated materials. Obstacles include complex manufacturing processes, difficulty in achieving large-scale consistency control, costs still higher than some traditional fluorescent materials, and environmental regulations restricting heavy metal systems.
