By solution, the quantum-safe hardware segment holds the largest market share

Quantum-safe hardware is pivotal, embedding quantum-resistant encryption directly into devices to thwart future attacks. Innovations encompass hardware modules and processors executing NIST-endorsed algorithms like Kyber and Dilithium, enhancing cryptographic functionality and speed. This technology secures data storage, communications, and authentication across enterprise systems, cloud platforms, and IoT devices, underpinning financial transactions, cloud security, and intellectual property protection. As this capability reduces vulnerabilities and ensures compliance with emerging standards, its adoption expands across sectors demanding robust digital security.

By vertical, the IT & ITeS segment will witness the highest growth rate over the forecast period

In the IT & ITeS sector, PQC is crucial in safeguarding digital assets, cloud infrastructures, and client data from quantum threats that could undermine current encryption technologies like RSA and ECC. PQC fortifies cloud services, VPNs, and SaaS platforms, ensuring data fidelity. It also enhances quantum-resistant authentication, secure transactions, and IP protection in service environments. Reports show that around 50% of IT & ITeS entities are architecting PQC initiatives, with notable moves from IBM integrating NIST-endorsed algorithms in its Db2 database. IBM 's amaravathi center initiative and collaborations highlight ongoing efforts in adopting quantum-safe technologies in IT & ITeS.

By region, North America is anticipated to record the largest market size.

The North American market is propelling PQC adoption to protect digital infrastructures against nascent quantum threats. Even so, about 48% of firms lack comprehensive readiness for quantum-related risks. Major firms like IBM , Alphabet , AWS, and more, are actively developing PQC solutions employing NIST-approved algorithms to secure data and communications from quantum assaults. The use cases span financial transactions, securing medical records, and safeguarding governmental secrets. U.S. programs like NIST's PQC and Canada's CIFAR initiative are crucial in the research and standardization of quantum-resistant technologies, energizing North America's leadership in cybersecurity defenses.
