Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) Global Market Report 2025

The quantum random number generator (QRNG) market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $0.24 billion in 2024 to $0.39 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 60.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the rising demand for secure encryption in defense and financial services, increasing concerns over data privacy, greater adoption by government and research institutions, expanding investments in quantum computing startups, and a growing need for security solutions.

The quantum random number generator (QRNG) market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.55 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 59.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the increasing use of cloud-based services requiring robust random number generation, the rising demand for true randomness in AI training and simulation applications, the ongoing digital transformation across various sectors, increasing regulatory pressure to adopt stronger cryptographic standards, and the growing threat of cyberattacks. Key trends in this period include advancements in photonic-based QRNG technology, the integration of QRNGs into hardware security modules, collaborations between quantum startups and semiconductor companies, and the rise of hybrid random number generation systems.

The increasing frequency of cyberattacks is expected to drive the growth of the quantum random number generator (QRNG) market in the future. Cyberattacks are intentional efforts by individuals or groups to breach the information systems of individuals, organizations, or governments. The rise in cyberattacks is largely due to the growing dependence on digital systems, which creates more vulnerable targets for hackers. QRNGs help protect against these threats by generating truly unpredictable encryption keys, making it much more difficult for hackers to crack secure systems. For example, in December 2023, the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), a US-based organization that tracks cybercrime reports, revealed that the American public reported a record 880,418 cybercrime incidents in 2023, with estimated financial losses exceeding $12.5 billion - a 22% increase in reported losses and a roughly 10% rise in complaints compared to 2022. As cyberattacks continue to grow, the demand for QRNGs is expected to rise.

Major companies in the quantum random number generator (QRNG) market are focusing on technological innovations, such as post-processed random number generators, to improve the quality of randomness, ensure cryptographic security, and enhance compatibility with existing digital systems. Post-processed QRNGs use algorithms to refine raw quantum data, eliminating bias and enhancing randomness, which results in high-quality output for secure applications. For example, in October 2023, Quantum Dice Ltd., a UK-based quantum technology company, introduced the next generation of its APEX quantum random number generator (QRNG). This new version offers superior entropy for robust encryption in business applications, along with exceptional performance and security. It ensures reliable cybersecurity through its patented DISC protocol, making it well-suited for data centers and telecommunications hubs.

A quantum random number generator (QRNG) utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to produce truly unpredictable numbers, which are essential for generating secure cryptographic keys. This ensures robust data security by providing genuinely random numbers for encryption and secure communications.

The main types of QRNGs are the peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) type and the universal serial bus (USB) type. A PCIe-type QRNG is a hardware device that fits into a computer’s PCIe slot and employs quantum processes to generate high-speed, truly random numbers for secure cryptographic applications. It can be deployed both on-premises and in the cloud, with applications in sectors such as banking, financial services and insurance, telecommunications, data centers, gaming and lotteries, research institutions, and more.
