Further, the report states that in 2016, the cost of production of quantum dots was between $3,000 per gram to $8,000 per gram, which varies on the basis of composition. The solvent, which is typically octadecene used for quantum dot synthesis, accounts for about 90% costs of the raw material.

In addition, the low adoption of this technology is restricting the vendors to increase the production capacity. However, the vendors are trying to reduce the production cost by adopting new processing technology and increasing production capacity.


For instance, in 2011, Quantum Materials developed an automated process using microreactor technology instead of batch processing technique to increase the yield of quantum dots per cycle.
