The quantum chip market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.15 billion in 2024 to $0.22 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 44.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for quantum chips, the development of new superconducting chip designs, increased threat security issues that have prompted organizations to use these chips for data security purposes, growing investments by key players in R&D activities, and increasing collaborations and partnerships among industry players.
The quantum chip market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.95 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 43.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising investments by government agencies and private players, increasing penetration of quantum computing in commercial applications, increasing demand for enhanced computational power, advancements in quantum computing algorithms and software, and advancements in quantum hardware and chip design. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements, the emergence of quantum supremacy and quantum advantage, advancements in quantum communication and cryptography, the adoption of quantum machine learning and artificial intelligence, and increasing collaborations and partnerships among industry players.
The increasing demand for secure communication and data protection is expected to drive the growth of the quantum chip market. Secure communication involves safeguarding data during transmission, while data protection covers a broader range of measures to protect data throughout its entire lifecycle, including during storage, processing, and transmission. The rising incidence of cyber threats, data breaches, and the growing importance of personal and corporate information in the digital era are fueling the need for secure communication and data protection. Quantum chips contribute to secure communication and data protection by enabling quantum key distribution (QKD), which creates unbreakable encryption keys, and supporting quantum-resistant encryption algorithms to protect sensitive data from potential quantum computing risks. For example, in October 2023, the 2023 Data Breach Report by the Identity Theft Resource Center, a US-based non-profit organization, revealed that by the first three quarters of 2023, the number of data breaches had reached 2,116, surpassing the previous record of 1,862 breaches set in 2021. As a result, the growing need for secure communication and data protection is driving the expansion of the quantum chip market.
Key players in the quantum chip market are focusing on developing silicon chips to enhance quantum computing capabilities. Silicon chips, semiconductor devices made from silicon known for their excellent semiconductor properties, are being adapted to host quantum bits (qubits) for quantum computing. Silicon-based qubits offer reliability and scalability, with the potential for densely packed qubits on a single chip. For instance, in June 2023, Intel Corporation unveiled Tunnel Falls, a 12-qubit silicon-based chip utilizing silicon spin-qubit technology. Fabricated using cutting-edge 300mm wafer technology in the D1 fabrication facility, Intel emphasizes the superiority of silicon spin qubits due to their compatibility with state-of-the-art transistors.
In November 2021, Honeywell Quantum Solutions merged with Cambridge Quantum (CQ) to form Quantinuum, an advanced standalone quantum computing company. This merger combines Honeywell's expertise in manufacturing ion-trap quantum chips with Cambridge Quantum's software capabilities, enabling the development of more sophisticated quantum computing systems by optimizing the hardware-software stack. Cambridge Quantum specializes in quantum chemistry, quantum machine learning, quantum natural language processing, and quantum cybersecurity.
