Quantum technology encompasses the realm of science and engineering that harnesses the principles of quantum mechanics to pioneer new technologies, devices, and systems boasting unique capabilities and functionalities. Leveraging the quantum properties of particles-including superposition, entanglement, and quantum coherence-quantum technology manipulates and governs quantum states for practical applications across diverse domains.

The primary segments of the quantum technology market include hardware, software, and services. In this context, the hardware segment pertains to the physical components and devices facilitating quantum computing, communication, and sensing. These technologies find applications in cybersecurity, drug development, financial modeling, artificial intelligence, and various other domains utilized by a myriad of end-users such as transportation and logistics, banking and finance, aerospace and defense, education, information technology (IT) and telecommunications, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive, among others.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

This quantum technology market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The quantum technology market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.88 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.0%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the rise of quantum software and applications, experimental demonstrations, cross-disciplinary research, rise in cybersecurity threats, and global initiatives.

The quantum technology market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $4.56 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to breakthroughs in quantum computing, quantum-secure communication networks, quantum sensing and metrology, the growing need to secure financial transactions, and commercialization and industry adoption. Major trends in the forecast period include exponential growth in quantum computing power, advancements in quantum communication networks, quantum sensing revolution, quantum machine learning for big data analysis, and quantum cloud services.

The forecast of 24.8% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.8% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Overall U.S. quantum tech initiatives may be stalled by tariffs on precision manufacturing equipment, specialized cryogenics, and photonic subsystems sourced globally. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The quantum technology market is expected to experience significant growth driven by the increasing occurrences of cybercrimes and financial fraud. These illegal activities, conducted through digital means, encompass hacking, identity theft, phishing scams, data breaches, and fraudulent financial transactions. The rise in cybercrimes and financial fraud can be attributed to factors such as increased internet usage, digitalization, interconnectedness, and anonymity. Quantum technology holds promise in revolutionizing cybersecurity and financial fraud prevention through secure cryptographic solutions, resilient network infrastructures, entropy-rich random number generation, privacy-preserving computation, and advanced fraud detection capabilities. For example, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the amount lost to investment scams surged by 38% from $3.31 billion in 2022 to $4.57 billion in 2023. Similarly, AAG IT Services reported in March 2024 that cyberattacks and breaches were reported by 32% of UK organizations in 2023, with percentages rising to 59% and 69% for medium-sized and large corporations, respectively. These trends underscore the growing significance of quantum technology in combating cybercrimes and financial fraud.

Key players in the quantum technology market are prioritizing technological advancements, such as quantum optimization platforms, to maintain their competitive edge. Quantum optimization platforms are computing systems or software frameworks designed to solve optimization problems using quantum computing principles. For instance, Quantum Computing Inc. launched the Dirac-3 (Dirac) entropy quantum computer (EQC) in February 2024. This system utilizes nonlinear quantum optics to tackle complex problems with numerous variables, expanding the application of quantum technology beyond traditional quantum computing devices that rely on quantum bits (qubits). The Dirac system operates at room temperature, can be deployed on-site, and requires no additional infrastructure for daily use.

In March 2022, Quantum Machines acquired QDevil, aiming to enhance its full-stack quantum orchestration platform by integrating QDevil's expertise in auxiliary electronics and quantum hardware. This acquisition strengthens Quantum Machines' control solutions and accelerates the development of practical quantum computers across industries. QDevil, a Denmark-based quantum technology company, specializes in creating and producing auxiliary electronics and specialized parts for quantum processors.
