Quantum-Safe Remote Credentialing Global Market Report 2025

The quantum-safe remote credentialing market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.51 billion in 2024 to $1.96 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.1%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand for secure communication, heightened concerns over data breaches, expanding adoption of cloud services, a growing need for regulatory compliance, and escalating cyber threats.

The quantum-safe remote credentialing market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 29.8%. The growth during the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for quantum-resistant cryptography, rising adoption of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, growing need for secure remote access, increasing investments in cybersecurity, and expanding use of cloud-based security solutions. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in post-quantum cryptography, integration of quantum-safe solutions with existing systems, technological developments in quantum key distribution, progress in cloud-based quantum security, and evolution of regulatory standards for quantum safety.

The increasing cyber threat is expected to drive the growth of the quantum-safe remote credentialing market going forward. Cyber threats involve malicious acts or situations aiming to damage, steal, or disrupt data, systems, networks, or digital assets. The rise in cyber threats results from the growing sophistication of attack methods, increasing incidents of data breaches, and the expanding digital ecosystem. These factors prompt organizations to adopt stronger security frameworks to protect sensitive information and ensure business continuity. Quantum-safe remote credentialing addresses these rising cyber threats by securing digital identities and authentication processes using encryption methods resistant to both current and future quantum attacks, ensuring long-term data protection, system integrity, and resilience against evolving cyber risks. For example, in October 2024, Check Point Software Technologies, an Israel-based cybersecurity company, reported that the average number of weekly cyberattacks targeting each organization reached 1,876 during the third quarter of 2024. This represented a 75 percent increase from the third quarter of 2023 and a 15 percent rise compared to the previous quarter. Therefore, the growing cyber threat is fueling the expansion of the quantum-safe remote credentialing market.

Leading companies in the quantum-safe remote credentialing market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions such as post-quantum cryptography (PQC) to improve cryptographic security, facilitate smooth migration to quantum-resistant algorithms, and offer robust protection against future quantum-driven threats. PQC involves designing cryptographic algorithms that can withstand attacks from quantum computers. For instance, in April 2025, Utimaco, a Germany-based provider of trusted cybersecurity and compliance solutions, launched Quantum Protect, a solution package for the u.trust General Purpose HSM Se-Series that can be activated in the field without replacing hardware. This package integrates advanced quantum-resistant algorithms with existing authentication systems to safeguard identities, secure remote access, and strengthen cybersecurity infrastructures against both current and future quantum threats. Its flexibility allows organizations to deploy quantum-safe security efficiently through in-field activation and comprehensive cryptographic support.

In May 2025, IonQ, a US-based quantum computing hardware and software company, acquired ID Quantique for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition expands IonQ’s offerings with quantum key distribution (QKD) systems, quantum random number generators (QRNGs), and single-photon detectors, while increasing its patent portfolio to over 900 patents with the addition of approximately 300 from ID Quantique. This move solidifies IonQ’s leadership in quantum technology and ensures continuous delivery of ID Quantique’s reliable products, services, and customer support. ID Quantique, based in Switzerland, specializes in quantum-safe remote credentialing.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
