The quantum technology market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The quantum technology market has experienced rapid growth in recent years and is expected to grow from $1.48 billion in 2024 to $1.88 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.3%.
This expansion can be attributed to the rise of quantum software and applications, experimental demonstrations, interdisciplinary research, rising cybersecurity threats, and global initiatives.
The quantum technology market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The quantum technology market is expected to reach $4.89 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 26.9%.
Growth is driven by breakthroughs in quantum computing, quantum-secure communication networks, quantum sensing and metrology, and the growing need to secure financial transactions. Key trends will include exponential growth in quantum computing, advancements in quantum communication, quantum sensing, and the expansion of quantum cloud services.
As cybercrimes and monetary scams escalate, a surge in the quantum technology market is anticipated. In the digital world, illegal activities such as hacking, identity thefts, phishing scams, data incursions, and spurious financial dealings fall under cybercrimes and financial fraud. An increase in these activities can be attributed to the rise in internet use, the digital revolution, robust cybersecurity measures, interconnected networking, and online anonymity. Quantum technology holds the promise to bring about transformative changes in the field of cybersecurity and fraud prevention in finance by presenting secure cryptographic paradigms, robust network frameworks, entropy-laden random number creations, privacy-focused computations and progressive fraud detection mechanisms. For instance, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, an American governmental organization, stated in March 2023 that investment fraud losses escalated by 38%, rising from $3.31 billion in 2022 to $4.57 billion in 2023. Additionally, AAG IT Services, a British technology firm offering computer assistance and services, reported in March 2024 that in 2023, 32% of British organizations experienced cyberattacks and security breaches. These percentages were significantly higher for medium and large companies, reaching 59% and 69% respectively. Therefore, the escalating trends of cybercrime and financial fraud are fostering the expansion of the quantum technology market.
