The global quantum cryptography market size is anticipated to reach USD 4,623.2 million by 2030 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 38.3% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly influenced market growth by amplifying cybersecurity concerns amidst the rapid shift to remote work and digital communication channels. This shift exposed organizations to heightened cybersecurity risks as remote access points and virtual collaboration tools became prime targets for malicious actors. The need for secure data transmission became more critical as sensitive information traversed networks outside the traditional confines of office environments. As organizations sought to fortify their defenses and safeguard their digital assets in this evolving threat landscape, the adoption of quantum cryptography emerged as a strategic imperative in ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of sensitive data exchanged over remote channels.
Quantum cryptography is finding applications in securing critical infrastructure such as power grids, transportation systems, and telecommunications networks. The need to safeguard these vital systems from cyber threats and ensure uninterrupted operation is driving the adoption of quantum cryptographic solutions among infrastructure operators and government agencies.
Retail and e-commerce companies are subject to various regulatory frameworks governing data security and privacy, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS). Compliance with these regulations requires implementing robust encryption measures to protect sensitive customer information. Quantum cryptography offers a level of security that meets regulatory standards, enabling businesses to demonstrate compliance and avoid costly penalties for data breaches.
