The Global Quantum Communication is expected to be led by the hardware segment, driven by the demand for advanced quantum communication components during the forecast period 2026-2030F

According to TechSci Research report, “Quantum Communication Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F", The Global Quantum Communication Market was valued at USD 0.81 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 6.05 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 39.81% through 2030.

The Internet of Things refers to the growing network of interconnected devices that communicate with each other and exchange data. With billions of devices expected to be connected to the internet in the coming years, the need for secure data transmission is more important than ever. Each IoT device is a potential target for cyber-attacks, as attackers can exploit vulnerabilities in these devices to gain access to sensitive data. As IoT applications expand across industries such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, and smart cities, the volume of data being generated and transmitted will increase exponentially, making the protection of this data a priority. Quantum communication presents an ideal solution to the security challenges posed by the IoT. By providing highly secure communication channels that cannot be intercepted without detection, quantum communication ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted between IoT devices. The use of quantum key distribution in IoT networks ensures that even if an attacker gains access to a communication channel, they will not be able to decode or manipulate the transmitted data. As the IoT ecosystem continues to grow, the demand for quantum communication will rise, driving the adoption of quantum-secure networks across various sectors. This growth is particularly evident in industries such as healthcare, where sensitive patient data is transmitted between devices, and smart cities, where interconnected infrastructure requires secure communication to prevent cyber threats.

The integration of quantum communication technologies with existing communication infrastructure is another significant trend that is gaining momentum in the market. Traditional communication networks, including fiber-optic cables and wireless systems, are not designed to accommodate the unique requirements of quantum communication. However, as quantum technologies evolve, efforts to combine these emerging solutions with conventional communication systems are gaining traction. The objective is to enhance the security of current networks without requiring a complete overhaul of existing infrastructure. This trend is driven by the need to provide quantum-safe encryption, especially as more organizations and governments recognize the vulnerabilities of traditional encryption methods in the face of potential quantum computing threats. To make quantum communication more accessible and practical, businesses are focusing on hybrid solutions that integrate quantum key distribution into existing encryption protocols. Such integrations would allow companies to adopt quantum-secure communication channels while still utilizing their current communication infrastructure, making the transition to quantum communication more cost-effective and efficient. Research is ongoing to develop quantum repeaters that can extend the range of quantum communication networks, enabling them to connect with existing fiber-optic networks and satellite systems. The challenge of maintaining the integrity of quantum states over long distances is being addressed by innovations in quantum memory and error correction techniques.

Based on Application, National Defense segment dominates the Quantum Communication Market in 2024 and maintain its leadership during the forecast period. The critical need for secure and tamper-proof communication channels in defense applications is a key driver of this trend. Quantum communication, with its ability to offer unbreakable encryption through quantum key distribution, is seen as a solution to the growing threats posed by cyberattacks and espionage, particularly in national security contexts. Governments worldwide are investing heavily in quantum communication technologies to safeguard military communications, intelligence data, and secure governmental operations from potential breaches by advanced computing systems, including quantum computers. This is especially crucial as traditional encryption methods become increasingly vulnerable to the power of quantum computing, which can break existing encryption protocols. As a result, defense agencies are prioritizing the deployment of quantum-resistant solutions to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive data. The ongoing development of quantum communication satellites and secure communication networks for military use further bolsters this segment’s dominance. While other sectors, such as aerospace, finance, and telecommunications, also recognize the benefits of quantum communication, especially for secure data transfer, national defense remains the leading application due to its strategic importance and the high stakes involved in protecting national interests. The emphasis on national security, the growing investments in defense technologies, and the urgency to build quantum-secure communication infrastructures are expected to keep the defense sector at the forefront of the Quantum Communication Market throughout the forecast period.
