Quantum warfare market is USD 1.78 billion in 2024 and is projected to register a CAGR of 25.3%

8th September 2025 - Quantum technologies, which include cyber security, quantum sensing, and secure communications, are becoming increasingly important for future military and economic dominance. According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), 17 nations have already invested in national quantum, whereas over 150 countries lack a quantum strategy. Major economies throughout the world are investing extensively in diverse R&D initiatives to improve their technical dominance in important areas.

Defense departments and government entities are increasingly employing quantum warfare technology to reduce the risk of data breaches. Conventional cybersecurity measures are insufficient to manage attacks and may violate encryption requirements. Additionally, quantum-enhanced cybersecurity solutions are increasingly being integrated into command-and-control infrastructure to provide real-time threat detection and response.

The rapid development of atomic clocks is emerging as a prominent trend in the quantum warfare market. Major global military powers are progressively turning to domestic atomic clock systems to lessen their strategic reliance on foreign Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the US-led Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's GLONASS, and Europe's Galileo. Accurate time is critical for synchronizing communication networks, ensuring navigation integrity, and providing high-precision electronic warfare (EW) capabilities.

However, stringent export control laws for quantum computing technology could hinder the revenue growth of quantum warfare. In light of quantum technology's dual-use nature and huge potential for abuse, major world powers are limiting its spread. If these technologies were transported to a country with a high level of violence, the region may become unstable. As a result, quantum technology is subject to the US State Department's rigorous export control laws.

Segment market overview and growth Insights:

Software is expected to register the fastest revenue growth of 28.4% by 2032. The increasing deployment of quantum software algorithms in key military infrastructures is expected to produce significant demand throughout the forecast period. The software segment will be further divided into major categories such as operating systems, simulation and emulation software, and others. Globally, key defense agencies are implementing sophisticated quantum cryptography protocols, quantum-enhanced AI models, and simulation tools that may be used with current-generation computing architectures to gain strategic advantages in surveillance, decryption, and secure communications.

The Defense Forces segment contributed a significant revenue share in 2024. Globally, defense organizations are making significant investments in quantum computing technology to improve the privacy and security of communication protocols. Furthermore, escalating geopolitical tensions and asymmetric warfare are prompting countries' military strategies to invest heavily in quantum technologies, including quantum key distribution (QKD), quantum cryptography, and post-quantum cryptography.

Regional market overview and growth insights:

Asia Pacific is expected to register the fastest revenue growth by 2032. China and India's rising economies are transforming Asia-Pacific into a new global superpower. The region is marked by long-standing territorial disputes, historical rivalries, and the presence of nuclear-armed states, all of which contribute to the region's quantum warfare supremacy. In response, key governments in the area are developing quantum warfare technologies to combat cybersecurity threats in vital infrastructure.

Europe contributed a substantial revenue share in 2024. Government support for artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum technologies significantly increased the European quantum warfare business. The European Commission (EC) will invest USD 119.84 million to encourage research and innovation. Furthermore, on June 23rd, 2025, the United Kingdom government announced plans to invest more than USD 672 million over the next four years on quantum computing technology to improve national security.
