Dublin, March 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Quantum Key Distribution Market by Offering (Solution and Services), Type (Multiplexed QKD Systems and Long-Distance QKD Systems), Application (Network Security, Data Encryption, Secure Communication) – Global Forecast to 2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) market size is projected to grow from USD 0.48 billion in 2024 to USD 2.63 billion by 2030 at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 32.6% during the forecast period.
A key driver of the QKD market is the growing deployment of quantum communication in satellite-based networks. As space-based communication networks expand, the need for highly secure transmission of data between satellites and ground stations is becoming critical. QKD’s ability to offer unbreakable encryption makes it ideal for securing satellite communications, especially for defense and national security applications. This development is opening new avenues for QKD adoption, particularly in space and aerospace sectors, driving market growth.
By vertical, the healthcare segment accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The healthcare industry is expected to witness a high growth rate in the QKD market. This growth is driven by the increasing need for secure communication to protect sensitive medical data, the rising adoption of telemedicine, and the growing integration of advanced technologies in healthcare systems. The sector’s focus on safeguarding patient privacy and ensuring data integrity in an era of cyber threats further accelerates the adoption of QKD solutions.
By region, the North America accounts for a larger market share.
North America is anticipated to hold a significant share of the QKD market due to substantial investments in quantum research, robust government backing, and the presence of leading tech firms. The region’s emphasis on building secure communication networks for commercial, scientific, and space applications, coupled with collaborations between quantum technology providers, is driving QKD adoption. For example, Toshiba America has partnered with Safe Quantum in the space of quantum key distribution (QKD). Furthermore, initiatives like the U.S. National Quantum Initiative and partnerships with the aerospace and telecom sectors reinforce North America’s leadership in the QKD market.
