The global quantum communication market size is projected to grow from USD 0.74 billion in 2024 to USD 5.54 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 39.6% during the forecast period.

A major contributing factor to the growth of the quantum communication solutions globally is the advancement of satellite-based networks. As global demand for secure, long-distance communication grows, quantum technologies like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) are being integrated into satellite systems to enable secure data transmission across vast distances. These satellite-based quantum networks are particularly crucial for industries such as telecommunications and space exploration, as reliable and secure communication channels are essential in these sectors.

"By vertical, the aerospace segment accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period."
The aerospace industry is expected to witness a high growth rate in the quantum communication market due to the rising demand for secure communication systems in space exploration and satellite-based networks. As satellite-based quantum networks and Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) become essential for secure data transmission over long distances, aerospace companies are increasingly investing in quantum technologies to enhance communication security. For instance, Airbus is advancing quantum communications with its Teleo project, a space-to-Earth optical link demonstrator designed for high resilience against jamming, paving the way for secure and reliable future networks.

"By region, the North America accounts for a larger market share."
North America is expected to account for a large market share in the quantum communication market due to significant investments in quantum research, strong government support, and the presence of leading tech companies. The region’s focus on developing secure communication networks for commercial, scientific, and space-based applications, along with collaborations between quantum technology providers, drives the adoption of quantum communication. For instance, Toshiba America, partnered with Safe Quantum in the areas of quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum communications. Additionally, initiatives such as the U.S. National Quantum Initiative and partnerships with aerospace and telecom sectors further bolster North America’s leadership in the quantum communication market.
