The IDTechEx report "Quantum Computing Market 2026-2046" covers the hardware poised to revolutionize modern computing and create a market forecast to surpass US$21 billion by 2046 with a CAGR of 26.7%. Recent breakthroughs have pushed quantum computing closer to unlocking critical computational problems including faster drug discovery, battery chemistry development, materials simulations, multi-variable logistics, fraud detection, and much more. Drawing on extensive primary and secondary research, including interviews with companies and attendance at multiple global conferences, this report provides an in-depth evaluation and market forecasts for the eight leading quantum computing technologies: superconducting, silicon-spin, photonic, trapped ion, neutral atom, topological, diamond defect and annealers.
Quantum computing is a high-profile emerging technology frequently discussed but often misunderstood. The last ten years have seen rapid development of hardware designs and manufacturing techniques, with the aim of building a commercially relevant quantum computer. The industry is now at an inflection point, where within the next few years, the technology must demonstrate scalability, realize use-cases, and secure early adopters to return value on the billions of US dollars already invested. Development roadmaps have accelerated, with several market leaders now predicting that commercially relevant quantum computing will arrive before 2030.
To avoid the pitfalls of overloaded quantum jargon, the insights of this report are condensed into digestible roadmaps, SWOT analyses, quantitative forecasts, and benchmarks such as the quantum commercial readiness level (QCRL) developed by IDTechEx. This benchmark measures the progress of the industry from an end-user perspective, comparing the progress of quantum computing to the transition of classical computing from vacuum tubes to mobile phones, highlighting at which point value will be created from quantum computing for various different industries. As seen in the figure, quantum computers are expected to reach QCRL 4 before the end of the decade, representing the first application-specific commercial use cases, and reach versatile deployment by approximately 2034. The QCRL scale, along with a historical database created from IDTechEx research in the industry, forms the basis of this report's 20-year market forecasts, which break down both the volume and revenue generated by each of the leading quantum computer hardware types.
