The global quantum cryptography market was valued at USD 128.9 million in 2023. The market is projected to be worth USD 151.0 million in 2024 and reach USD 615.9 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period (2024-2032). The report covers players, such as Qrypt, QuintessenceLabs, ID Quantique, Quside Technologies, and QNu Labs Private Limited, and others. These players are continuously upgrading their solutions with the changing technology. For instance, ID Quantique is upgrading its existing enterprise-level encryption with quantum cryptography.


Increase in cyber-attack incidents due to the acceleration of digitalization, increased demand for next-generation security solutions for cloud and IoT technologies, rising funding for cybersecurity, and the development of next-generation wireless network technologies are expected to drive the market growth. Advancements in wireless networking technology have facilitated the development and adoption of quantum cryptography. Wireless networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular networks are ubiquitous in modern society. Their use has increased the amount of data transmitted wirelessly.


High implementation and installation costs are one of the factors inhibiting the adoption of quantum cryptography. Quantum cryptography is a relatively new technology and requires specialized hardware and software. This hardware can be expensive, and installation and maintenance costs can also be high. Furthermore, as this technology is still in its early stages of development,  the availability of solutions and services that integrate quantum cryptography is currently limited.


The COVID-19 pandemic sped up digitization across all industries, accelerating the need for secure communications. For instance, most physicians started maintaining digital records in healthcare during the pandemic. In several countries, these records were to be kept secured by law. Quantum cryptography technologies enable security for such electronic communications.
