Quantum technology is currently one of the fastest growing deep-tech markets, but their performance and scalability are often held back by challenges in materials, components, and manufacturing processes. This report analyzes the opportunities and emerging solutions in materials for quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications, with the total market opportunity for superconducting chips, PICs, and diamond for quantum technologies anticipated to reach US$3.38 billion by 2036 and US$18.9 billion by 2046 with a total CAGR of 23.1% over the full forecast period.
 
The quantum technology industry is diverse, with a vast range of products, business models, and a global distribution of players ranging from university spinouts to governments and international corporations. However, what IDTechEx has found is that throughout the industry there are opportunities for key material platforms to enable the scalability, and ultimately the commercial viability, of quantum technology. These material platforms are the physical basis of the quantum systems leveraged to unlock 'quantum advantage' in products: whether that is enabling the computation of classically intractable problems in quantum computing, unlocking magnitudes higher sensitivity for quantum sensors, or creating fundamentally secure cryptographic solutions in quantum communications.

Three Quantum Markets, Three Key Material Platforms
Quantum technology is usually categorized into three core product verticals: quantum computing, quantum sensing, and quantum communications. This subdivision is typically used by government and commercial quantum strategies, and IDTechEx has published individual market research reports containing in-depth analysis of each vertical.
 
However, from a materials point of view, it is instead more informative to categorize quantum technologies by the physical 'platform' or quantum system they are built on. This approach highlights the intersections between different products, not by their applications, but by the materials and components common between them.
 
The three most important materials platforms for quantum technologies can be grouped as follows:
  • Superconducting chips: Microfabricated electrical circuits of superconducting metals or compounds deposited on semiconductor wafers which exhibit quantum properties. Examples of products include SQUIDs, SNSPDs, and superconducting qubit computers.
  • Photonic systems: Optics and photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are used either for the manipulation of single photons as carriers of quantum information, or to address atomic and defect-spin systems. Photonics are central to quantum networking and photonic qubit quantum computing but are also gaining traction for trapped ion and neutral atom qubits as well as various types of quantum sensors.
  • Nanomaterials and diamond: Point defects in artificial diamond have been used to develop commercial quantum sensors and computers, while a range of opportunities for nanomaterials such as CNTs, quantum dots, and 2D/2.5D materials are emerging from research.
 
In each case, these material platforms stretch across the 3 quantum technology market verticals (computing, sensing, and communications), such that technologies and products between different areas of quantum technology can often benefit from the same material innovations, components, or foundry capabilities. This groundbreaking report assesses the material opportunities from both dimensions for a deeper analysis that highlights key intersections between the quantum and materials industries.

Illuminating opportunities for photonics in quantum technologies
Photonics have already revolutionized classical information technology, with transceivers based on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) enabling high-speed communication within AI data centers at unprecedented scales. For quantum technologies, PICs have the potential to shrink optics that would have previously occupied an entire optical table in a lab-based setup down to the chip-scale, all while increasing manufacturing scalability and often improving performance by eliminating alignment errors.
 
However, the requirements of quantum PICs are very different to other applications. Due to the fragility of quantum systems, quantum PICs have a very low tolerance for losses, and to address systems such as atoms and point defects in diamond, they also need to operate at wavelengths unfamiliar to the traditional telecoms or datacoms industry.
 
To address these requirements, photonics innovators are exploring PIC material platforms beyond silicon, with silicon nitride (SiN), thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), and barium titanate (BTO) as some examples of rising stars in the quantum photonics industry. Champions of these materials come from both within the quantum industry - such as PsiQuantum, QuiX Quantum, and Quantum Computing Inc (QCi) - and from external foundries and partners.
 
Equally exciting trends exist in the markets for superconductors, with content in this report covering the materials, fabrication processes, packaging trends, and testing of quantum chips, as well as emerging opportunities for artificial diamond and nanomaterials.

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
  • Historic data, based on our own databases of products, companies' sales data, information from associations, company reports and validation of our prior market figures with companies in the industry.
  • Current and announced manufacturing capacities
  • Company production targets
  • Direct input from companies as we interview them as to their growth expectations, moderated by our analysts
  • Planned or active government incentives and regulations
  • Assessment of the capabilities and price of the technology based on our benchmarking over the forecast period, versus that of competitive solutions
  • Teardown data (e.g. to assess volume of materials used)
  • From a top-down view: the total addressable market
  • Forecasts can be based on an s-curve methodology where appropriate, taking into account the above factors
  • Key assumptions and discussion of what can impact the forecast are covered in the report.

How can I be confident about the quality of work in IDTechEx reports?

Based on our technical analysts and their research methodology, for over 25 years our work has regularly received superb feedback from our global clients. Our research business has grown year-on-year.
 
Recent customer feedback includes:
