Market dynamics
Quantum technologies could change everything. They could solve problems we are not even aware of and open new avenues by addressing key industrial simulation and optimization challenges in chemical research, financial services, health care, life science, manufacturing, and defense.
The total value for quantum technologies, including computing, cryptography, and sensing, will increase from about $340 million in 2020 to $2.9 billion in 2030, according to a recent report by Yole Développement. The three main market segments – quantum computing, quantum sensing/timing, and cryptography – are expected to reach $1,147 million, $598 million, and $1,163 million in 2030, respectively.
